I have never considered Bi racials as black bi racials are what the are a mix of two races.
to me to be black then at least the majority of the bloodline should be black (Afrikan) at the extreme end of the scale if the much vaunted race war ever happens are you relly going to think a bi racial could be relied on to fight for the black side? against their own mother or father ect.
on a less extreme side can one really apply the same concepts of black pride such as sticking to ones " own" to someone who is just as much part of the other side ? if one believes the ultimate solution to gaining black indepedence and freedom is divorcing from non blacks could you even think a person with a white parent is going to divorce from them?
As for the law no disrespect to the person that brought it up but why the heck should we use a outdated white racist law to define who is black.
That same law defines anyone with any amount of black blood as black, are we going to define those with 1 percent Afrikan blood as black just because of some racist white American legaleze was created that defined black blood as so posionous that even 1 percent of it was so contaminting that a person with even one percent of it could no longer be considered white.
Like most white American laws its racist in the extreme and detrimental to the black race.
The fact that bi racials are legally defined as black in the US is from the same legal minds that believed owning black folks, lyniching black folk, and not allowing black folk the vote was fine remember all of those things were also part of the laws of Amerikkka at one time too.
It was all about white blood being so pure, superior and precious that even a single drop of another races blood contaminated it.
Its also a uniquly white American racist concept, even in other racst white nations such as the UK and most of Europe bI racials are not considered or termed as black (though they are often part of the black polotical scene) but in general such individuals with 50 50 bloolines are termed as bi racials or mixed race and other less flattering terms such as halfcaste (and are in almost every other land than Amerikkka considered a distinct group of their own,
Fyi that tends to be the case whatever the mix is werher its white and Asian black ad white Black and Asian black and Indian ect.
Why should we of all people be using racist white Americas law to define who is one of us, also its notable that no other race defines people of mixed relationships as one of theirs Asians do not consider those off Asian- other to be Asian whites don't consider those of white -other relationships to be white.
doesn't it tell you something that only black Americans accept or term the products of biracial relationhips as one of ours and doesn't it say something that only by white American laws are such people considered to be black.and when the mix is something other than a white and black one these same rules are not employed.
I for one am not about to use a white racist law as a bench mark for who I define as black. neither is it about skin tone behavior or feature type, to me its bloodlines and it has to be majorative black (as in Afrikan or "negro" since some people like to mess with the term black and include some brown skin Asiatics and Aborigines ) if someone is fifty percent "black" and fifty percent other then their not black to me I don't hate on them but their just not black too me.
To me terming those of equally white as black bloodlines as black just seems to be playing along with racist white laws rhat were creatd to protect white "purity" and considered the black race as so inferior that how diluted the bloodline was really didn't matter and so it was okay to term anyone even those with equally other bloodlines and often more other than black in them as black .
