this nikka does not look mixed..

So if you have 3 black grandparents and one non black grandparent you're not considered black? so you know that eliminates a majority of afro caribs and afro south/central americans right?

This is foolish as for Bob, he is mixed but looks like a black man and in his songs he identified with being black.

@GreatestLaker

Just want your views on my opinion

No it does not. Majority of Afro-Carib people do not have a non-black grandparent.

If you want to say 3 black grandparents is enough to be classified as black, then 3 white grandparents is enough to be classified as white. Just be consistent.

 

[DPresidential]

all of them 75%. Seems like you have a hard time paying attention.

(Fredrick is inconclusive since he doesn't know his father, could have been white or biracial)

Just curious...

Would you say Malcolm's mother was Black or White?

Being consistent? if they have 3 white gp, then of course they can be identified as white, who would have a problem with that? And yes there is several mixing all depending on which island you're referring to, but as a whole there is several mixing in the carib when you trace their ancestry

 

[GreatestLaker]

Nah, they are Black if they have 3 Black grandparents.

Funny, but Damian Marley and Joakim Noah have to marry a white woman to be considered white? Even though they have 3 white grandparents? At the very least try to be consistent. Why must the white race play under different rules?

 

[Kalik]

Identified with being black.

If you personally identify as something. That's your life -- end of story. Especially if you can prove lineage to it. If you were raised in the culture also. Of course you are.

How the next man gonna tell you what you are, based on his perceived that your culture was diluted or not, because 2 of your grandparents white, instead of 3.

it has everything to do with black supremacy, because you're designating what constitutes "black," telling those who identify themselves as black that they don't quite reach the standards you and those of your kind have set for official "negritude." you're telling Rashida Jones that she isn't allowed to be considered black. Lenny kravitz isn't allowed to be considered black. That's the definition of supremacy, for your designation excludes them from any recognition of their relationship to the black community. People like you, as i've already said, are no different than white supremacists who ostracize white women or men who are found to have engaged in "miscegenation" with non-whites (particularly blacks).

your views are a minority. most blacks welcome these people. we need them, and most blacks recognize that. we won't allow you to hurt our struggle by denying millions of blacks membership within our ranks because they don't pass your antiquated brown bag test.

supremacy
s(j)uːˈprɛməsi/
noun

1. 1.
   the state or condition of being superior to all others in authority, power, or status.

If you can point out where I have put forward such views or attempted to hold anyone back due to their race, by all rights do so, otherwise shut your fukking mouth.
Kravitz etc.-If those people wish to refer to themselves as black they can do so, but it does not change the fact that they are not black.
With regards to the part I have bolded, white supremacists' views are centred around other races being inferior to them. My view is that if people engage in miscegenation their offspring is not the same race as they are, this is a fact, I am not saying that they are inferior.
The irony of you accusing a dark skinned black male of supporting the paper bag test to deny people access to something is lost on you it seems.

It doesn't matter, I'm both Asian and Black. I'm bilingual and I'm close to both sides of my family.

Referring to yourself as black is inaccurate, call yourself an asian and black mix, it is what you are after all

You colour struck bytch, lightskinned people don't have it easier at all.

Yes they do, white society treat mixed people much better than black people and living in a white dominated society one has to acknowledge that this has a large effect on the lives that we live.

You're a pathetic darkie nikka hating on lightskinned people.

'Darkie nikka", your insult is really hurting meeeee

They have to marry a Black woman to be considered Black too

Anything more mixed than Biracial has to be determined by their partner's ethnicity

My 1st wife = Italian
My 2nd wife = Black

So I have to get married a 3rd time as tie breaker? What if she latina or asian breh? I just wanna love and be loved breh. Not think about what my kids gonna be classified as.

 

[Captain Crunch]

That's why I put anyone that doesn't have 4 grandparents of the same race in the mixed category.

I'm talking 1/4 Indian and 3/4 black. I know people from Trinidad and Guyana with that kind of background and they took after their Indian side. Same with 1/4 black and 3/4 white etc.

So if you have 3 black grandparents and one mulatto, you're mixed?

Nah, you've contributed to both groups of people so you can identify as you please...

I'm not against interracial couples btw

this guy is not black?

 

[kermit da hustla]

the people in here claiming that mixed blacks aren't really black are just jealous. they're projecting their own sad insecurities about being dark-skinned on the rest of us who are light-skinned or "mixed." they want to be mixed, essentially. they want to enjoy the so-called "privilege" they claim mixed blacks enjoy. they want to be viewed as "different" by white people and other non-blacks. they so desperately crave that "exotic" appeal they claim us mixed blacks are rewarded with.

that's really what this is. these people are actually jealous of mixed blacks, all the while claiming they're down for the cause and just want to keep the race "pure." we see what you're really about, jealous ass nikkas.

So Joakim Noah's father is a white man?

But Joakim Noah's race is undecided until he marries? But what if he marries another mixed race woman?
