They look white but say they're black: a tiny town in Ohio wrestles with race

A quarter of my fam is multigenerationally mixed so I can spot folks like this a mile away.

Intersectionality

This video proof that future humans will laugh at us for going along with the concept of race.

They need to do a justified type show based in that town

There is a small enclave of people like this in NJ. They are called the Jackson Whites. Before the 90’s they all lived in a small town up by ramapo. They all bred with each other. They were black and Dutch. Pale skin and green eyes.

As a card carrying member of the mulatto-quadroon delegation I disavow these mischievous crackers except for the grandma who might be onto something, the rest of the town tho

Perhaps what may throw some people off is that although they may claim to be Black, it seems like they really don’t interact with any Black people. They live their life just like a typical poor flyover State type white community.

They worship like white people. There is a lack of “soul” when they move. But, shyt, maybe they realize that the reparations bag may be coming, so might as well start claiming so when the bag does come, they can jump in line and say, “see, we always claimed our Black ancestry. Even our birth certificates say that we are Negroes.”

Now that reparations are being talked about everybody wants to come out as black.

Sounds like it's the exact opposite though. They older generation has always claimed black and its the younger ones that are drifting.

Besides, unless they trolling on The Coli none of them think the fukking reparations bag is coming.

I don’t know about that..

Too many ambitious types passed for white back in the day. If you are such where you could pass for white back during a time where open racism was the law of the land, why wouldn’t an ambiguous looking person of color not use their situation to their advantage.

As far as the reparations thing..

Even if they don’t know about it now, best believe when hey find out, they will want to get a piece of the action!

I ain't saying that no one does that. I'm just saying that unless that whole damn town's history is made it up then it don't look like that's what's going on.

And I'm just saying that no one in the middle of fukking Trump country in the middle of the Trump presidency believes that reparations are ever coming.

To keep it funky. Black isnt even a race. It's a term created by white intruders. Our ancestors didn't call themselves black. And people that looked like them were on thé slave fields and considered negroes all the time.
