What is Black, Who is Black....set straight

[ultraflexed]

Let's agree to guidelines and settle this once and for all.

Majority of all african Americans are at least 20%white.

It's is possible to be light skin and have 2 black parents (my daughters)

their are brown skin African Americans with green eyes who come from 2 black parents (myself)

My wife is light skin with green eyes but her grandfather is half white.
My green eyes come from my grandfather who is 25% white.
So even though my wife have a very small percentage of let say 15-10%, our kids looked like mixed kids even though there really only 10% white......

So are you guys basing who is Black off DNA (bloodline %) or off looks.
If you judged my kids off looks you would say there mixed, I get asked this question EVERYDAY.
But if you looked at their DNA they have very little white blood (10-15% max)
But the average African American is %20 white, which my kids % is smaller then the average AA.

I used myself and family as a example.
But it's the same with my cousins and my friends.

In my opinion I go with the stats, if your 75-80% black I would consider you black.
If your 50% or less I would consider you (mixed) first then African american I wouldn't say that person is Black though.
I think you can be African American an not be black (80% African blood)

I think biracial can identify as African American but not as black cause black should represent a strong majority of African blood which is separate from being (African American which can represent more of a mixture in blood).

[QuavoFlow]

there are VERY VERY FEW people in the US that are 100% of anything

 

[ultraflexed]

My question to you is

Are you basing who is Black off of looks or bloodline?

Do you think being blacks should be separate from being African American?

Should biracial be considered African american but not black ?

Lightskin blacks are same as dark skin black if both parents are black ?

 

[twhatever]

It varies by nationality.For black Americans:18-30% admixture since that's the common range.
For black Brazilians,Jamaicans,Dominicans,etc it's something different.For the various black African nationalities it's something different.

Oh boy...

Black started everything so we all black but not everyone 100%

 

[merlijn]

black is black 100 percent black.

if you have 20 percent admixture then you are bi or multiracial

its not that hard

Your lack of intelligence is showing..
You know Bi=half, when term (Bi) is used it represents half of something.

nikka stfu and stop making shyt so complicated. If your anything grandmother+ had a child from a white person, chances are she was raped. Anything past grandmother is irrelevant to your blackness.

 

[skokiaan]

why you nikkas always trying not to be black

english isnt my first language... so whatever (plus i said multiracial meaning 2 or more) so no i wasnt wrong

anyways black means black. white means white.

Who is trying not to black?
The lack of comprehension on this is alarming.
No one is trying not to be black.
I suggest reading it over, and then answer the question.
Read it S-L-O-W-L-Y so you can understand the question...
Thanks
