You just proved my point. I said white or black. Most people who comment on Tommy’s videos are one or the other. I guess I should have said black, white, Latina, Asian and just named every race on earth. Next time I will just say black or non black. The problem with what you said is that you seem to have had some type of fit because you thought that I said you were black.

Why does someone thinking that you are black upset you so much? If it is not because you see people thinking that you are black is an insult? Otherwise why have a fit about it? I am not one of those black american idiots that Tommy does his videos about. I said that if a person identifies THEMSELVES as a certain race it is either business. As long as it is not an attempt to make life easier or fit in. When people do that they are usually telling lies about there who their ancestors are or leaving out some of there less liked ancestors. I do not like liars of any kind. I see that as a lie. I also said that anyone born in Africa is an African. As you see most black people who are born here say African AMERICAN.

When did I say cracker? White African ancestors? My white ancestors are american. I know for a fact that my most direct white ancestor was a slave master. My fiance is white. I do not have a problem with anyone of any race. You can not change the fact that non white people that are called black are angry or offended because they take it as an insult. It seems you sure did. You are the one speculating since you assumed that I hate white people because I said something about a certain group of white people I do not agree with. I also said black. Does that mean I hate black people because I do not agree with every thing they say? I think not.

This is the problem. If someone that you would call mixed says that they are black I do not care. That is their opinion of themselves. I can not argue with someones assessment of themselves. I may not agree with it. I may agree with it. It is their life.

Maybe I feel that way because my mom’s skin tone is the same as Mariah Carey’s. My mom’s father was dark and she looks like her mother as far as skin tone goes. I am close to being light skinned but, not as light as my mom and my sister is dark skinned. People always say that I look like my mom. We have the same body type and are the same height. My is looks just like our mom as far as facial features but, all people can see is my sister’s dark skin. My sister looks like our mom and people can not see that because they are looking at skin color only. My sister had to listen to all kinds of shit about her skin color. Of course Tar Baby is number one. I was told that I sound white. By black people. We all know that is an insult that says you are not black enough. So, my sister is too black and I am not black enough? What kind of Fuckery is that?

If we go by what you said then if my mom had been born with grey eyes instead of brown people should consider her mixed even though it was an ancestor and not her mom or dad that was white. My mom had us late in life so she is 76 now. Would you like to tell her that she was not black enough to pick cotton when she was a little girl and not black enough to have to sit in the back of the bus? If my dad had been light skinned and me and my sister had very light skin and curly hair like my mom I guess you would assume one of our parents is white. You would be dead wrong. Other people are that light skinned and do have curly hair and their parents have a light skin color. They are not 50% white and 50% black. It is more complex than that.

Obama’s father was an African immigrant so he is definitely 50/50.
Anyway, your comment proves me even more right.
If African Americans themselves aren’t even completely black, how come any other race mixed with them is?

thanks man need more thinkers like you

First of all no one feels better than African Americans. You guys are the only ones who feel that way. Moreover, you guys are the only ones who literally FORCE other people to call themselves black. When someone doesn’t want to be called black you automatically think that they feel better than black people or they reject their black side which , in a lot of case is not even true. A lot of them acknowledge their African ancestry but they , unlike in America, don’t throw their white or Indian side out the window.
Since when pale skin and blue eye is a black feature? Does Michael Ealy look like Kunta Kinte? I don’t think so. You are so stupid if you call me stupid I feel super smart.
You can call Mr Ealy, Barack Obama etc..black it’s NOT going to change their genes. At the end of the day, they’re genetically still 50% black 50%white and that is something you CANNOT change.
You don’t realize that the whole world is laughing at your desperation when you call Barack Obama the first “black president” . What do you do with his white side? Oh you ignore it? Well guess what… You can ignore it all you want it’s going to be there for ever.

Ok I’m going to make this as simple as possible.
We all know black people (real black people with black features and genes) come in all shades so there are some light and dark skinned black people.
However, do not confuse light skinned black people with mixed people all they have in common is their light skins other than that light skinned black people don’t have curly/straight hair, blue eyes etc…
A light skinned black person is just light skinned and that’s it.
A mixed person is someone who has white in them.
This is not about “look” it’s about genes and heritage.
It’s as simple as that.
You can call mixed people black but deep down you know that they’re not really black. I have no problem with that(why would I?) it’s just that it’s really stupid. If you have a white mother and a black father how the hell are you black? Where did your white side go?
I would also like to add that this kind of stupidity only happens in America so don’t get mad at Dominicans if they don’t want to be called black because honestly, most of them are NOT black.

A light skinned black person is just light skinned and that’s it. like you said

black is black

Yes BLACK people can have blue eyes, hazel, and or green eyes as well. The color of your eyes is a genetic anomaly it has nothing to do with your race. If you want to be technical ALL people are black we all come from the same source white skin like blue eyes is an anomaly. Barak Obama identifies as black nobody forced him to do so, he understands that in this society you are black if you only have one black parent and it wasn’t black people who made this so. Until the last 20-30 years there were states where the legal definition of black was to have 1 drop of black blood. For Indians to be a half breed was the worst thing you could be white people didn’t accept you nor did most native Americans. Interesting that having a white mother didn’t make him more acceptable to the conservatives, have you ever seen a party create 2 sub parties to address only one part of a presidents nationality? There were at least 5 other presidents who had foreign born parents and one where both parents were foreign born. Where was the tea party or the birthers then?? What was different about this president? better question is why you are angry that black people took what was supposed to be a negative and turned it into a positive . If you don’t want to identify as black don’t. Most black people don’t give a damn if you call yourself a purple monkey, just don’t get an attitude when we accept who we are with pride. Now when white people look at you sideways in this country or treat you like a minority you just make sure you let them know you are not black, I am sure they will fix how they treat you right away!
