My answer is the same regardless of what group you name.
A person's ethnicity is a matter of biology.
Not their socio political affiliation.
Being "woker" does not make a person more "black american"
They are agents stirring up shyt, trying to cause division and sow discord, don't fall for this colorism bs

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.
Word. I'm Somali bro, I can count up to 30 generations on my father side. One of the reasons I hate cacs is they rob you guys knowledge of self but y'all finessed it and create your own culture. But at what cost?

What do you mean woke silly ? Fredrick Douglass was a slave because of his African descent. He wasn't enslave because he was half white he was enslave because he was half BLACK !! This has nothing to do with being woke or whatever you call it.

actually biracial have always been around.
but biracial black women have been pushed in front of black women for the last 15+ years, I believe Alicia keys ushered that era in....

Ain't nobody debating the criteria of whether he was a slave or not.
I'm saying he is a mulatto because he had one black parent and one white parent.
I'm saying if you have a non black parent, you by definition are not black. No more, no less.
I dont give a fukk about what culture you grew up in.
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.
My biggest issue is; "BLACK" in America is not about what your parents are, it's the historical experience mixed with the present.
Obama is the biggest culprit. His Dad was an East African that that went to Harvard and didn't have to deal with Jim Crow America like my dad's father did.
Obama didn't have the grades to get it, but, was considered because he was a "legacy admission." His grandparents left him grands of dollars in stock.
Yet, he was able to benefit from all the "BLACK" spots available to him because of his Dad's skintone and not his historical perspective in America.
Drake's not even American and lived in Canada with his white mom. He was able to jump in and out of blackness because he went to Memphis in the summer He even spent time in Houston so J Prince and nem could "coach" him how to be black in America. I still remember how corny he was in 2010.People down play biracial Americans' access to power, when that is the main reason I don't see them as black.
Their go to struggle is "acceptance."

What's wrong with just calling a Biracial person: Biracial? It's not that hard. These people are literally comprised of 2 different races, but all of sudden they're Black because that's the easier to call them so Where da fukk am I?

This why I laugh at dumb nikkas that come on here hollin bout a damn one drop rule. That shyt been dead and it only effected white people like Plessy who had minor African ancestry and could pass for and basically were white, not a "half and half" biracial like Alexandria Shipp or Meghan Markle. Those types was nikkas from the jump, one drop rule or not.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.
Idiots just don't understand American history but got the loudest opinions.
Biracial people have been black and slaves in America since slavery, before the one drop rule.
