A person of mixed race (Black/non Black anyways ) is both Black AND ________. There is no difference between a light skinned Black person and a dark skinned Black person, both can be primarily African descended and have the same amount of White blood, genetics is just a dice game. My mom is light skinned and she has siblings who are light and dark and they share both the same parents ( her mom was mixed ).
"so are you saying if people don't get beat up by the police they are not black"
I think it was a **** joke, lol.
