mad this guy was a jew too

Bruno has more melanin in his skin than people like Steph Curry who get considered black just coz they have African ancestors.

The current framework of race is very American influenced and retarded if u think about it. A lot of mixed people claiming black when they look like they have more European genes in them. Meanwhile brown and literally black skin people from Asia can never be black?

I feel like it’s great that he recognizes his influences. It’s great that he pays homage, but I personally don’t think that’s enough. I have an issue with Bruno being an unoriginal artist, he’s not a unique artist, he’s not a creative artist.

Black/white are retarded concepts created how long ago by white people. What cant be denied is melanin content in skin of ppl. Bruno clearly has a lot of melanin in his skin. So logically he is also 'black'

[Grafter]

That is not the logic of bein black

 Black means struggle, black is negative, black exists only in the context of racist oppression. No one in black majority countries is black or identifies as black UNTIL they start facing racism and struggle because they are darker 

Black is a misnomer and we need to stop subscribing to it. Stop fighting for it. Stop fighting other people over it. Stop defendin it. We need to step away from black and all its nasty oppressive baggage

[ag.]

Colourism is heavy in Africa ha colourism and racism are slightly different things

[Grafter]

Yes 

But some people are still called black (at least in the Caribbean, your either black or brown) within colourism and it only represents the crap end of the stick or the struggle

But aside from that ive met jamaicans and nigerians who just dont identify as black first and foremost an that's cos they never grew up really where their skin colour was a political problem. Of course the affects of white supremacy impact them but its not the same impact it has on us who grow up as minorities knowing very well that we are black,
