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

[Guest 90210]

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! !!!!!!!!!!

whites were the ones who came to africa and called us 'black'

 

dictionary:  having the darkest colour there is, like the colour of coal or of a very dark night:

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

 

LOL

I got paler as I got older, imagine I used to get called black face at school then the other day a friend of a friend made a racial joke in my presence, oblivious.

If someone can't immediately define you then you will have a lifetime of torment. People are racist, stupid and ignorant.

Where did u go school?

(Area not the actual school)

[Marly Mar]

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

im with stacks on this issue 

 

 

mixed race people arent black 

 

just becuase they may face the same racism for  it doesnt make you black 

 

no offence to any one mixed or mizchief but mischiefs identity issues are a clear cut case of why you should stick to your own race

what is his ''race''?

 

Not his skin colour/ethnicity his actual ''race''

 

1. A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.

2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race.

3. A genealogical line; a lineage.

What point do you stop being classed as black?

 

Being 1/4 white?

 

Being 1/8 white?

 

Being 1/16 white?

 

1/32 white?

 

What is your cut off point of being able to legitimately call yourself a black man?

 

Your actually a stupid, ignorant piece of shit

 

Malcolm X has done more for the ''black race'' then you have ever achieved in 3 life times despite you not seeing him as being a black man and not havin the right to speak on behalf of the black races and the problems they faced

 

Do your friends/mum know what you are? Serious question

I swear Miz is only 1/4 white, I think people assumed from his pic his mum was white.

 

 

For all intents and purposes Black = of Sub Saharan African descent

 

Nothing more, nothing less

Anyway from now on I will refer to mixed race people as white and I urge any self respecting ,black race loving black to do the same . Lets see how they like it
