Chuka Umunna: Black people need more than ‘lazy stereotypes’ on film and TV

[Grafter]

Pretty sure the very people who started labelling others as black an white was white people. Why should we accept and argue over a label that was put on us? Put on us for absolutely no positive reason...From the fresh africans ive met none of them even really identify with the word black. Doesn't mean a thing to them.

The term black is a red herring! !!!!!!!!!!

[Michel Kane]

Too many of us are worried about labels when in reality we should be worried about CONTENT.

SMH.

[SLEAZE BALL]

I am not tryna brush off a mans struggle

All I am saying is mixed raced people are not black

Surely it cannot be that hard to comprehend

[stacksbranning]

[SLEAZE BALL]

Doesnt make any sense to me a man with mixed heritage taking on the same caste system used to abuse him

You better come off that and respect your grandmothers struggle g

Cos I can guarantee when she got with ya grandpops noone werent moving like she was black so lets not act like thats how shit went down today

[Afroman]

/ the guy in the video stacks posted is a d*ckhead but he makes some good points in the first 3 mins of his video i dont carevto watch the rest cos at somebplint he'll jump out the window

[stacksbranning]

Stacks why you do you think there are different shades of black people?

 

There are various reasons ,health,diet,climate,some could have ancestors who were raped by white men , and some were born that way  . Remember whites come from us not the other way around . There have always  been different shades of black it doesn't mean they are mixed .

[dub]

people who are mixed white and arab are accepted as arab, people who are mixed white and chinese are accepted by chinese, and so forth

it is just generally mixed isn't labelled as white

 

but yeah, labels

[darkman]

Mixed raced people are not black

Surely it cannot be that hard to comprehend

[dub]

if someone is mixed black and white they are both, not neither - surely that's not hard to comprehend

[SLEAZE BALL]

Or black and indian?

Or black and chinese?

[Mizchif]

This is long, I'm not arguing any further about this I know what I am. I never said I'm black and not white, I said I am Black and I am White, i'm not diving myself into sections I am who I am, if some people don't want to accept me that's fine I know (and I really do) blacks and whites that accept me as their own, and you'll find these are the people that end up doing well in life. If this is such a massive problem for you, I feel sorry for your children. Because while the world changes and people learn to accept one another and treat each other equally, they're going to come into conflict, and then eventually going to turn on you and your beliefs.

 

I wonder if you even read the first post I posted here? It's actually insane that this is where the conversation got to

[Benicio del Toney]

their are light skin blacks  chillin in  nigeria,congo,serra lione etc right now . Its to do with your genetics  

 

Fam, Angola, Cameroon etc... have PURE mixed peeps.

 

Sierra Leone, there is a reason for that also.

[Benicio del Toney]

Toney  you are gonna have to upload another pic of your sis because from what im looking at she can never  pass as mixed race let alone white

 

Bro if you remember you argued with me when I told you Malcolm X mother was mxd, you actually argued with me on a fact I was giving you lol.

 

 

Remember this girl from BBC?

 

 

Is she black?

[Haze-e]

This has turned into such a silly thread.

[Guest 90210]

where did you grow up? i've never heard someone get called "black face" before, sounds awful

only in them surrey endz

[Guest 90210]

@Stacks

If one parent is mixed and the other is black

Are you still black?

Equation: 1 parent mixed = 1 white - 1 black

 

equation: 1 parent black - 1 black

 

= mixed parent x black parent = black(2) x white(1)

 

YOU ARE BLACK
