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?

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.

I don't 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.

Exactly 2 hours ago Poiter said biracials weren't black in another thread.
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.

I meant to type "don't"

if you notice, the semantics doesn't make sense without it

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.

"All the way Black" is ridiculous as there are tons of African groups who have non-Black ancestry

And I already said biracials are not Black but they should be accepted instead of phased out. A person with a non-Black grandparent is obviously Black.

Just to be sure, we r referring to west/central Africans rite :comeon:?

Again, I call bs.
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 dilusion
