When did this biracial thing actually start to kick in ??

[Razor Reader]

I am. I'm just noting that Africans do descent through the father, majority of the time. It is interesting y'all do is thru the matrilineal line.

Fam white folks set all this up. They created all these constructs.

They were never called "bi-racial" they were just black. Sometimes they were called mixed or lightbright or redbone. But they were apart of blackness and accepted as such. It's only recently they've tried to separate. That's his point.

This.


When I was growing up... that cute light skin girl with the long hair who lived down the street or that one light skin homeboy that had green eyes and curly hair... they were still looked at and considered black to us. We may have called them mixed sometimes but that was us saying that he or she is BLACK and mixed with something else but we still considered them apart of the BLACK race. Nobody was calling them bi-racial.

They have white parents (I'm including grandparents), and whether they admit it or not; that typically means they have advantages over me (two black parents)

They want to be accepted socially without acknowledging the reality of their "white side"

What rights are "biracials" being denied though ? And if they just claim black is no telling what they can accomplish. Just sayin'...

Breh, world doesn't revolve around America

This is NOT an interracial couple, that is NOT a biracial girl.
Beyonce acknowledges her racial admixture (from grandparents) but she doesn't claim to be a biracial. And even if she did that doesn't mean she's right.

Keysia Cole claimed biracial too but that was proven false

No, World does not revolve around America -- which is why only non-Americans and millenial nublacks are baffled by being Black and Proud when one could claim anything but and get away with it. See also: Thandie Newton talking about being forced to be presented as black in the Hollywood system, and not knowing how to embrace that initially since she never grew up being seen and treated as Black versus Mixed.

As for Beyonce, her grandparents are black. Her claim to whiteness is a white trash French trapper from the late 1700s to early 1800s -- not her grandparents. Louisiana Creole culture is all about color lines within color lines.

Having said that, Tina's titties are sitting nice.

If you're buying the grandparent narrative, you got played. Are you American?

The right to claim white.

I don't see your point. This is our history.
We didn't decide things to be this way this is the way it happened.

It means just because America says something doesn't mean it's universally correct. In many places outside of America, mixed people are seen as exactly that: mixed.

If she has a "white trash French trapper" in her bloodline that means somewhere down the line one of her grandparents was non-black. That means she has admixture like most people in the western hemisphere. That doesn't make her biracial though which was the original arguing point.

Descent should go thru the father. But I'm not AA. So I'm STFU

Hereditary slave society can't have descent through father. Otherwise the Hemings sons and not the Jefferson daughters would have inherited everything.

Off tangent, but on topic, I do wonder if Monaco would have had its first black heir to the Princedom if not for the existence of the b*stard white daughter conceived during a one night stand in the 90s. Where does descent through the father and patriarchy fit in a case where the favored first born son is black, but the blood tested first born daughter is white?

In the US, it's always been race of the mother. But a white woman is not allowed to keep black babies. The right to abort was for her as much as for nikka women. (Native women just got stetilized without consent.) Funny how white women could finally win legal abortions only after fukking black men also became legal.

You didn't listen to what I said. This is our history this is not something we created the this is our reality. You must be either a non-black or a foreign Niggga.

So now I'm foreign/ Non-black because I don't let outdated racist cac laws affect my view on biracials
