Race is determined by phenotype and how others see you that’s it.

Look black=black

look non-black = not black

Race has no scientific base if it did almost every African American would be labeled “mixed”

I'm almost done with it, but it's just different pov's
It's interesting, dude from Brooklyn told a South African dude he was gonna smack him

If you got 2 black parents=black children

Yeah

You don't get to choose

You walk outside, you'll figure out if you're Black or not pretty fast

The one drop rule actually the thing that kept all of us together in this country.

Whereas in Brazil or South America you have mixed people acting like they’re their own shyt and look down on their black side. Serving as a buffer class to solidify white supremacy and muddy the struggles of black people.

At least here in this country - you will get humbled, you black. We in this shyt together no matter how “light” you are. No avoiding the struggle.

Hell, someone like Malcom X wouldn’t exist in South America - he’d be a Moreno hanging out in circles on the outliers of whiteness.

fukk the one-drop rule.

2 black parents, or fukk you.

Mixed people have committed too many acts of betrayal against the global black nation.

The only mixed people I acknowledge are the ones that go EXTRA HARD for the black nation.

Like Jean Zombi from the Haitian Revolution.

One of the most notorious of the massacre participants was Jean Zombi, a mulatto resident of Port-au-Prince who was known for his brutality. One account describes how Zombi stopped a white man on the street, stripped him naked, and took him to the stair of the Presidential Palace, where he killed him with a dagger. Dessalines was reportedly among the spectators; he was said to be "horrified" by the episode

Yeah

Black people get to chose, not white people, not others but black people
Whites dont get to dictate who's black, I dont care what they say when who walks outside.

Black people will dictate who is black

facts.

fukk the one drop rule.

 

[Houston911]

If you look black then society sees you as black BUT I do agree that people with 2 black parents should be grouped separate from people with only one

not on some enemy shyt, it just isn’t the same

We definitely need to stop calling quarter blacks black though, like IMMEDIATELY

So like if you wanna live in a certain house, you can decide what the person sees when they see you

If you want a loan

Or a promotion

Or if a cop gets ahold of you

You think they will go by something other than their eyeballs?

I don't give a fucc what they go by.
Job or not, promotion or not

I've gotten every loan I wanted, every job I wanted, been pulled over...I'm black..and?

Black people will dictate who is black.
Dont care what they think, black people need too, can and will control that narrative.

 

[MajesticLion]

When enemies make a mistake...let them. Use the mistake.

You're the special Black person who doesn't experience racism

All the Black people I have ever met face racism regularly, from childhood

So for all THOSE people who are judged by society - not.you. You're different - I feel camaraderie with them. Cause we're all on the same side against the same enemy
