Why I hope my mixed-race son doesn't stay 'white'

Yeah...thats why it was hilarious that the klanman finding out hes part black...then he gets kicked out by his fellow klansmen and harrassed by them.

A serious ass lesson there.....

 

Here's to hoping I'm not kicked out of the new black panthers

 

Hell yeah and crazy hypocritical because a little black and white racist America says too black but if just a hint of white u not white enough

Sad really

Fact is, by shaking the family tree nearly all of us are mixed with some different ethnicity. Kids nowadays are generally more accepting (at least where I live) and eventually the way we mix and mingle today, being bi/tri racial is more common than not.

 

Positive news once more mama

We are people and promoting division based on race is Neanderthal as fuck

You literally have people running from one excuse to another to justify racism

First they had skin color, then they had that failed science known as phrenology...

Then they tried justifying supremacy/inferiority through genetics

Just give it up and treat people like people and not that 3/5ths shit

 

Exactly! Treat people with the respect you would expect and appreciate each other's differences. The differences are what make the world a beautiful place.

 

Seems that if a White person has a child from a Asian,Hispanic,or other shade instead of African they would be concidered White in a instant. Put a nubian in the mix and it is different. There is a documentary being released called Little White Lie about a Jewish person who found out she was Black.

 

Interesting observation, never thought of that before.

 

I have been reading on slavery for a while and got to know that most often than not the tall white dude whose pic you saw and was never spoken about might have been a plantation farmer and did not have consensual sex with your great grandmother but rather forced himself on her. I might be wrong though.

 

Who the hell knows

Wouldn't exactly be breaking news and it's kinda like a known fact that slavers were knee deep in slave pussy

I was just kinda weirded out that no one talked about the guy more often, but felt obligated to hang his photo on the wall

 

Same goes for everything else though, IMO. If you're a first generation immigrant, you're too American for your homeland's people, but too foreign for Americans. Or, if you're bi, then you're too gay for straight people, but too straight for the gays. You can barely "win." So why bother, lol.

 

Come on. Let him be.

 

I think that the people of genuine good will have gotten more open-minded, but those recalcitrant racists have doubled down on their position and gotten more extreme. 2 steps forward, 1 step backward.

 

To my core, I hate everything about this:

We [black people] love to remind others that we are not all the same. Yet, as soon as one of us steps out of that limiting 'black box' we're quick to remind them that they don't act black.

We want society to change it's perception of us, but we mock those of us who do anything that will change that perception.

 

It is so stifling to a person's sense of freedom and individuality.

 

So, basically ur upset that Archie's blackness is put into question

Colour is specified on a birth certificate in America?

You learn something everyday.

We don't have that here, it is sex, childs names, parents names, district of birth and parents birth places and that is it.

Details about a child is kept in the childs red health book (held by the parents) and race is only brought into the equation when the health visitor weighs and measures your child. IE you have a different growth chart in your book for Asian babies (shorter/smaller expectations) and Sickle cell and what not.

I have no idea why it would be necessary to have someones race on their birth certificate.

 

Welcome to Amurica where that's all that matters.

 

Well it looks like that, all the media coverage we've been seeing here lately, would suggest that's pretty much true.

I fear the UK is trying to be more and more American, in local government,we have a Kent police commissioner now! WTF for? no one seems to know! she is useless tbh.
Also more americano is data collection and a general Xenophobic attitude from various areas of politics.
Doesn't feel great here these days, maybe my perception has changed, but I honestly don't think so.

 

Same over here as well. I can't understand why the colour of a person's skin would ever need to be printed on a birth certificate??!!
