[quote="DANGIRL"]I think you are missing the point. Most "black" people in America are NOT mixed.YOU ARE STILL BLACK EVEN IF YOU HAVE THAT "WHITE FEATURES" YOU PEOPLE BRAG ABOUT.[/quote]
Dangirl,
No, I'm not missing tha point but I think you are. I'm American by birth, yea Im familiar with that "one drop" notion within the US constitution but sadly you cannot deny a person's heritage which ever spin you try to put on it.
My physical features and skin tone looks nothing close to your typical quote on quote " African-American". Do I think I'm better? Absolutely not. But I do consider myself different because I don't typically fit that stereotype which is what an African-American looks like? I'm biracial that's a fact.
I don't have two parents that's Black (same race) so in essence I am truly biracial based on the definition of the term. They're both of different ethnicities. One's Jamaican Indian (East Indian descent) the other is Hispanic/Latino and Black but looks almost white.
I can't speak for other African- Americans because I don't know their family lineage but I know mine and you nor anyone else can deny me my heritage. I could care less whether you believe me or not....facts don't lie . My blood is mixed and you can't change that and I can't.
Take Mariah Carey for example. The constitution's notion would make her a person of color and she would be deemed African- American based on the one drop rule. Does she even look African American by normal standards?
