Well yea because many black people still have sex with a lot of whites and non blacks to bleach the bloodline. Of course self hating black people will accept him because they dont like the way they look. This notion about blacks accepting non black people is not the flex blacks make it out to be. Black people hate the way they look so they accept anything non black to feel attractive even if said non black is unattractive themselves.
There were plenty of whites before jim crow and during that identified as black because of the opportunities gained by doing so. During the worst periods of black history why would anyone who looked like Lena Horne, Adam Clayton Powell, Charles Drew etc identify as black if that meant being lynched, mobbed, attacked, killed and offered less opportunities to succeed? Because being/looking white and identifying as black gave them an advantage over black people and whites want to eradicated west african looking black people so they dont have an issue with them.
Its weird how Black people act like they dont know why they have certain family members who look white but identify as black. They act like these clearly mixed family members came through via immaculate conception. Whats wrong with admitting they were created intentionally by sleeping with whites and non blacks? Everyone sees it and I am more willing to follow the logic of those with more brain power than those who would rather lie and look like an idiot in public.
His father was an intellectual but he said it was because he was called black once in the military it changed his perspective. In other words, he wasnt living as a black person until he got his seat taken away from the table
