And this is because you’ve experienced 99% of the world??

what is it with you nikkas and making these ignorant declarations :mindblown:

Out of the 5 of the 7 continents that ive been to, my race never seemed to matter, but my nationality is how people defined me​

So you mean to tell me.. There are places us nikkas can go to and not get treated like 2nd class citizens? Drop these locations breh.

:ohhh:

he's right. He's a half-cracker, got no issues with half-crackers owning up to who they really are. His DNA is full of cracker genes so no lies told there, it doesnt matter how he looks on the outside. Phenotype dont mean shyt :yeshrug:

I just had this discussion earlier on another platform. People think of blackness as an badge of honor so they place honorably black on people or feel like its dishonoring someone to deny them of their blackness.

You are what you are. If you black, youre black. If you're white, youre white. If you're half of each youre grey or biracial lol. I dont claim off-white folks as black. It's intellectual dishonest. You also dont earn blackness. It's inherited whether you appreciate it or not.
so with the bolded in mind, what is the issue when someone who has a ADOS parent identifies as black then? they have inherited blackness and lineage that goes back to slavery here.

Again, my original post was about the One Drop Rule. Someone who is 50/50 is debatable.

Using my Black/White analogy, 50:50 is grey. To me, they are biracial. That's how I identify them and acknowledge both sides. Doesnt take away nor add to their blackness. My niece and nephew are biracial. I don't call them black. They dont look to me, unambiguously black, but you can tell they have black in em.

It's simple, breh. Just call a thing a thing.

ODR never pertained to biracials, yall really need to stop parading this around, its like the race version of "jamaicans made Hip Hop" dumb myths being passed around as facts that are not true.

So light skin ADOS people like hodgetwins do not count as black because they do not fit in the "unambigously black" category of yours?

and there is a reason why I said and brought up ADOS and lineage. Last I checked your not ADOS and I assume your niece and nephew arent either not even half at the least. So you prolly go by a different perspective.

Its more than just skin color, and the concept of "race" its about lineage and how they are seen for a biracial who is half ados. As it is with all of us who are ADOS espescialy those that show our ancestry through our phenotype which alot of blacks mixed or not, lightskin or brown or darkskin show.

Lmao. I am ADOS. I have different shades all throughout my fam. But Im not basing my opinion on skintone at all.
If you have a non-black parent (and a black parent), you are biracial.
