    Your right alot of us have a mixed heritage. (Def not all) But I think there is a big difference in having ancestors a few generations back of a different race. Ancestors that you never meet, a culture they never shared with you. Most African Americans are atleast 70% black and most whites are atleast 80% and most even 98% white. With someone who is a direct descendant of two monoracial people their experiences will be quite different. When they walk out into society growing up the world sees they have parents of two different races. Their culture many times reflect that of having 2 different culture coming from both sides. They feel a real connection, real love to both of their heritages and the two people most important in their lives (well until they have their on children).

    Watch the video I posted.

    Generally,
    At the top, it's a political issue, for some that want to be Black leaders or for those who sincerely believe in hypodescent as a strengthening tool (it isn't, having a small group of empowered people is better than a large group of ignorant folk), or some who have taken the lemons of forced Hypodescent and made lemonade.
    In the Middle, some Black people see themselves and have rallied around, and affirmed themselves by the definition of hypodescent, or more colloquially the ODR. For some Whites, to now, want to reverse or flip the script on this bothers some Black people.
    At the bottom: is "Black is Black", "a nigga is a nigga", or some Black people who like being part of an ethnic group with different skin colors...

    Many modern Whites (not from the south or a part of racialist culture) don't really now about the ODR, being part of White privilege, few worried or cared what made a Black person Black. So it seems a bit disingenuous to some for Whites to want to claim Black people when it's advantageous to do so, especially given the history of white people (white men mostly) rejecting their sons and daughters as of inferior social status.

    I see it changing, however, it's always changed, for those who have been part of the Black endogamous community, many wouldn't know, and thus see Black progeny as fixed. Passing over to another social status or changing social status is continual however. Those, Blacks politicos at the top know this and it fucks up their political agenda when biracials claim so on the US census, socially many of those who have crossed over have been from White male and Black female unions, many Black women know this, and either use this to crossover or have have white/light children all the while claiming to be part of the endogamous Black community.

    Which is why, shoutout to flaminghetero, Black men and White women are a threat to the power structure of White male power, and matriarchal statusquo in the Black community. Black women having a White mans kids and claiming them as Black just maintains the status quo. I'm not making an indictment on White mothers who claim their children with a Black man as Black, because those are the social conditions we have lived under, but the tide is changing in the US, as more White women claim their kids as mixed because they see them as such, and generally (whether you guys like it or not) as more mixed children come to prominence and achieve social status in society. Does this improve the status of Black people? probably not, which is another reason why many Blacks want to claim bi-racials, and see Whites doing so, especially with prominent individuals, as such. If you feel like WP is on the wane, then the equal ID of "mixed" individuals shouldn't be a problem, given the union they were made in was an equal one.

    I wish these racial distinctions were merely superficial and didn't determine status, but in many cases they do and they go beyond actual genetic makeup, which no matter what you claim as ID, should not be ignored.
