Why is it when "black" people excell in something they tend to be actually mix raced

This thread stinks of ignorance.

I wasnt on tsr when they had the old layout. I only joined in october

P.S. You spelt Barrack Obama wrong.

'Black' isn't a race. It's a skin colour. Same for white. 'African-American' would be a race, or 'Caucasian'

If he was mixed race and raised by a black family i'd say he was black, but he wasn't. All you ever do is come on to post 1 reply to me, then get owned then you don't post again. I don't see how black people can try and claim his as their achievement when they played zero part in his success, I mean given the amount of black absentee fathers (I believe around 50% as Obama himself pointed out) one was bound to land a child into a good family sooner or later. Now run along.

I find it alarming how much I dont give a **** tbh. I guess I am just too busy these days to have long arguments with a guy who has no other means of arguing than indulging in pseudo science, pseudo economics and pseudo history.

Those who negged the OP are frankly complete idiots.

So those who are mixed raced are not entitled to having their own race/colour category? First 'mixed raced' president/’first mixed’ raced MP? If not, why not?

Oyinbos, keep living in ignorance.

You can neg me all you want. Do you actually think I give a ****?

That's good, don't quote me again then. I'm sick of your lack of coherent argument or ANY history, economics, or scientifically based sources. It seems you are only capable of deploying emotive arguments or insults. That will serve you well in a court of law won't it.

P.S. You spelt Barrack Obama wrong.

FFS I'm not saying black people haven't done outstanding things.

I'm asking why are mix raced automatically referred to as black when they excell, as opposed to being white of which they are 50% of?

Perhaps the wording in the OP is misleading, but that's what I mean.

It's not that they're only ever referred to as black when they excel. And it wouldn't be right to say 'the first mixed raced US president' because that would just be wrong, since 'mixed race' is such a broad and complex term, and there are too many different types of it.

And how about Pele, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Michael Jackson (yes he was black), Sam Cooke, Louis Armstrong, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Joe Louis, Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Shaquille O' Neil, Eddie Murphy, Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Don Cheadle, Will Smith, Usain Bolt, Linford Christie, Condeleeza Rice, Don King, George Foreman, Magic Johnson.......................................

They all excelled in their respective fields and low and behold they were black!

Your argument just blew up in your face.

P.S. You spelt Barrack Obama wrong.

...And we have another schizophrenic rant on TSR.

Yes, he could be called the first mixed race president. The point is, he is the first person who is of black ethnicity (even partially) to become the US president. No, we don't think we're superior, and we don't love Hitler. If you must know, Hitler wasn't a huge fan of my religion actually. Everyone ahs their own preferences when it comes to what they find attractive, a whole race doesn't have the same preferences. Unless you hang around with Nick Griffin, no one cares that white people are being 'watered down'.

Not you personally, but many of your race do believe this. From what I've heard over the last 20 years.
