Frederick Douglass was seen as black? Halle Berry seen as black? I think it depends on what they look like.
When did this biracial thing actually start to kick in ??

So now I'm foreign/ Non-black because I don't let outdated racist cac laws affect my view on biracials
You still not comprehending what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that or mixed people being seen as black is a clear and defined part of black American history. This biracial stuff is new and somewhat confusing. They're would be no Black America as we know it today if makes people are not defined as black.
Not really look at some of the people from the past that was biracial some of them looked just white but was seen as black. The whole birical thing did not start until Obama’s and liberal cacs wanting to dbdh 100+ years of history

Here's a post I've seen from someone on my timeline a few weeks ago...
"Saw a post and got me to thinking...Obama, Megan Markle, Tiger, J. Cole, Halle Berry, Drake and this list goes on... why do they have to be the first black person to do something and not the first biracial or mixed? Don't give me well that's how white people see it, cause that's how black people do us too. I like to see me people that represent me too and me fully...a mixed person."
I feel like there a lot of mixed black people that have an internal conflict with how society identifies them. My whole problem is that... a lot of mixed people want it both ways. They'll be "black" when it's convenient and "biracial" when they want to separate from black people.
A lot of the mixed people I've known from childhood or just people I've met over the years seem to have some type of insecurity issues, not sure what it is, but it's something to it.

Save the act the act most of them are seen as black all the mixed stuff is lies

I'm aware of that, but to call them only black is incorrect. They are black, but they also have a non-black parent. It might be ingrained in history to call them black but many modern biracials are steering away from that label. You can argue whether or not that's a good or bad thing. I don't really care about what they call themselves personally.
Historically speaking, they were black. But that was then, this is now. If they don't want to be under our umbrella, I'm not gonna force them to stay.

Prior to the dismantling of Jim Crow, segregation and anti-miscegenation (racial inter-marriage) laws
in most of the country, the "one-drop of African makes you colored/Negro" rule was applied and
brutally ENFORCED.
Homer Plessy by bloodline was about 88 percent white European and 12 percent black. He purposely
challenged Jim Crow in 1892 and his court case was denied by the Supreme Court, which led to legal racial restrictions being upheld until Brown v Board of Education in 1954.
Homer Plessy has been dead almost 100 years. But his work, and the work of others over decades removed legal Jim Crow and segregation from the society.
He helped end the laws that in the past would have forced him to be considered colored/Negro/black.
Plessy could call himself "black" or "African-American" today, but what exactly would that mean in 2018? That he couldn't fly first class on Southwest Airlines? That he couldn't live in the Buckhead section of Atlanta? That he couldn't attend Duke University? That he couldn't marry Gwyneth Paltrow? That he couldn't be president of the United States?
In 2018, he also would most likely viewed as "white" by the many darker non-white immigrants groups who
did not live in the country in large numbers in the late 19th century (from India, Mexico, Armenia,) as they do
today.
In 2018, Homer Plessy would probably have a lot in common with Meghan Markle.

The problem with people like you is that you define "black" by how "woke" the person is.
Being black is simply biological. Not a socio-political affiliation.
Frederick Douglass is not "blacker" than clarence thomas, just because he is more "woke"
