If you were American, I wouldn't have to enlighten you. Phenotype is not a measure of pureness.
Youre saying every Black person in the US has non African blood as well. every single last one?

Exactly. I seen all shades in Africa. Black people don't have to be mixed to be lightskinnedall those features exist naturally in Africa but I do agree in America being "mixed" is some kind of achievement for some reason.
Skin tone is to African people as hair colour is to Europeans.Exactly. I seen all shades in Africa. Black people don't have to be mixed to be lightskinned

No but there are tons of Africans with non-African blood so I don't get your point
Unless you are like Muhammad Ali's grandsons or Robin Thicke's kids, purity really is a dumb topic
Knowing who you are and being clear about it is not dumb. Blacks being the dumping ground to adopt all mutts has got to end. A line has got to be drawn because its getting ridiculously stupid now.
Exactly 2 hours ago Poiter said biracials weren't black in another thread.I consider biracials to be Black but a non-Black or mixed grandparent is normal in many AA families. Biracials shouldn't be lauded but still accepted, don't want to lose those Black lineages.
I didn't say yall were Black, I said they can IDENTIFY as Black as long as we put your kind at the bottom of the totem
Aaliyah has 2 Black parents. All AAs are admixed but that does not equate to being biracial. And no, half blacks are biracial, not Black. If they want to identify as Black then they go to the back of the line.

But did you check him tho?

Some of us have higher standards because we dont have cacs for grandparents or even great grand parents..so how can those of us who are clearly all the way Black entertain biracials claiming we're the same?? Like just how stupid do people think we are? Not all of us claim Indian or Irish heritage and want to be seen as exotic cause its the latest fashion. Knowledge and pride of one self is crucial in this world. If Blacks keep this shyt up of accepting anybody with a tan that has to say they are Black, we will starve as Black claiming mexicans etc rack up all benefits intended for Blacks.
you can definitely tell many apart. It's the same way I can tell a Nigerian from a Ghanian from a Carribean. Notice how I said Caribbean cause i'm not versed enough to tell the diff between a Guyanese and Trini black person. Breh the thing you gotta realize is most of us are first generation canadians or second at best. As a result most of us have a very very very high % of african dna because our parents and ancestors mated with predominantly africans. For the Americans who may be 5,10 generations down the line and shyt there is a lot more likely to be some dilusionJust to be sure, we r referring to west/central Africans rite?
Again, I call bs.
