Proof that the one-drop rule is a sick fukking perpetual joke that cheapens Black folks..and some lost and confused Black people fight to keep it alive

I agree with what he said. Be good at getting people to like you...when I started out in my engineering/tech career I probably knew the least about coding in comparison to my associates. However I was blessed to receive multiple offers while the people who could code with their eyes closed suffered because they couldn't make theirselves likeable...

Reading the article he says his siblings span the color spectrum from as light as him to as dark as his father, would love to know how his darker skin siblings progressed in life, if they’re anywhere as successful as him or if his skin tone was the ultimate level up in life

Naw Gator Reloaded is a good brotha, but no relations.



With respect to the article/phenomena- things bout to get real 'interesting' out here.
I have a feeling a lot of people with even a touch of color are going to start checking 'black' on these college/job/etc applications.

Y’all Coli black “purist” weirdos kill me. I don’t ever remember the black American community not accepting light skinned or biracial people as black. We’ve always done that. We are all one.

The dudes dad is dark chocolate and looks like my grandpa. Knock it off

This is true but it’s ass backwards that the world is like this, if we based everything on merit the world would be centuries ahead right now.
