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

not because they were black
i mean they had every right to be called white
as well as black
the society at that time hated mixed race people who watered down their precious pure white genes

yeah lets prefer coloured hair and eyes and ignore blacks and asians, and people who aren't caucasion
we are waste
we don't deserve attractive features
you darwin ape pigs

I'm sure in the very olden days Obama wouldn't be allowed to sit at the front of the bus or drank from the "white" americanswater fountains. Neither would Tiger Woods or Lewis Hamilton... Rosa Parks had white descent in her yet she still had to sit at the back of the bus. Just sayin

Yeah but it has obviously stuck with them and people still consider them black. The whites in America may still consider them black. To be honest I don't really consider mixed race people as black or white and just consider them people of dual nationality.

However many others (especially in america, from my first hand experience) will refer to themselves as black. Obama is an example of this.
So i suppose the question we have to ask ourselves is, Why?

You're basically saying, that because they experienced racism this is why they should be defined as black?

Tbf, that's a stupid logic.

I could be a militant racist against all white people and mix raced (with white in them), does that make them white too?

Racism works both wats, and all have experienced it one way or another.

yes, i think the mixed race people in the US and the mixed race people in the UK both differ in their answers. I agree with the question....

Dual nationality?? What if both their parents were american???

No I don't really care. Some mixed race still consider them selves black and so do most whites in America. I see mixed race people as people with eyes and ears and noses like any other human being in the world. Whether they excell or not

fair enough, you make a fair point, if he wants to be identified as black, he has every right to, no-one should try to say he is white

but tell me this, do you not agree people would burn down his house, attack blacks, and scream that their race is being watered down IF he said he was white?

would it not be wierd if he said

yeah i'm white

look at it from this perspective

most mix raced people claim to be black because society would kill them if they claim to be white

people are too proud
they think of whites as pure
whites arent even white
they are pink

Mixed race people are often seen as black because we look more black than we do white. I could pass for a light skinned black guy. I could never pass as a tanned white guy.

I don't have servants...I had an ironing lady a while ago, but she was white. No thanks, I'd rather bathe in bubble bath and bath creams. Much better for your skin.

This would be the end to the thread if the question was whether or not you cared.

But hey, thanks for your contribution. Have a nice day.

I had an au pair once She was from the Czech republic i think. She did all the ironing and stuff. I dont know hwy im telling you this

i didn't say he was the first white president
and by black person, i meant his father.
