    @tipsyturv what is “black” to you?
     

    You’ve mixed nationalities with color. There are black Mongolians and black Brazilians. What are the other two grand parents? 
     

    I’m any event, I doubt this guy knows anything about bid whist or jack and Jill. Still she/he/they shouldn’t feel too comfortable at a trump rally.

     

     @Pioneer1 no, I never said I was mixed, and do not consider myself mixed. However, as you wrote, like most Americans, do have white ancestry that I can point to. I also have native American ancestry that I can point to in the same line.

    thanks for ur input! i actually said "mongolian" to simplify things a bit because this person's ancestry is actually more rare and complicated. their grandparent is Black + Kalmyk. Kalmyks are a Mongolic ethnic group that live in Russia (Kalmykia) , who are descendants of Mongolian migrants . Most people dont know what a "Kalmyk" is , as there are only about 3000 Kalmyks in America - making this person's ethnic makeup a bit more rare/unique. That's why I tried to save myself some typing by just saying "Mongolian" LOL!!! Also, I did specificlaly say "Native Brazilian". As in, Indigenous. to answer ur other question.... As I mentioned earlier in this thread to clarify things, this person's other two grandparents are African-American.

     

    heres a pic of an ethnic Kalmyk for ur reference. very interesting people - as you see ...Asian phenotype/race but dressed like a Russian lol

    Depends on what criteria you are using. Whether it be cultural, aesthetics, body type , facial structure. It some matrix of the above.

     

    If you are more likely to get shot by the cops are are followed around a store I say you appear Black

    I once had a ghetto woman tell me I didn't seem Black more like a cool Italian 

    I once had a ghetto woman tell me I didn't seem Black more like a cool Italian 

    Yet street cats were cool with me because we could conversate.

     

    It's the old blacker than thou. I just prefer to deal with people not categories. Although there are exceptions. I avoid a$$h0l¢$

    this is the person in question @Delano @Troy @Pioneer1 @ProfD

    One grandparent who is Black and Mongolian, and another grandparent who is Black and Native Brazilian

    @tipsyturv

     

     

    Your questions that started, basically, with "I have a friend who"

    made me suspect that you were referring to yourself.

     

    You can identify yourself however you please, but I would hope 

    that you identify yourself honestly and not by your skin tone.

     

    As to the people who question your heritage, next time someone 

    asks you about it, give them an answer and then turn around and

    ask them about theirs. 

     

    Most people don't even know what it is.

     

    Or ask them what part of Africa they originated from. 

     

    I guarantee they won't have an answer.

    yes i love them, another is ananda lewis. ❤️ dont know if u heard of her but look her up if you havent, shes def part of that club lol

     

    Ofcourse I've heard of my girl Ananda Lewis.
    That's another beautiful one who I've been watching since the 90s during her days on BET's Teen Summit.

     

    Ananda Lewis

     

    She's fine as cherry wine.

     

     

     

     


    what do u think of people who actually appear multiracial identifying with their multiracial heritage? 

     

    Not only do I agree with it but I INSIST upon it.

    If you are multi-racial and look like it, I'd RATHER you identify as multi-racial than to run around calling yourself "Black" and mis-representing our race and the way we look.


    Power is EXCLUSIVE...not necessarily INCLUSIVE.

    I don't believe in running around calling everybody with Black ancestry "Black".
    No...get back over there with YOUR peoples.

    i have to say im one of those people who heavily identify with blackness

    but i def get some "side eyes" from a lot of people (both black and non-black) who question how "fully black" i really am 

    theres always a question of "where r u from? wat r u?" and when i say black it's "yea but what about ur family? u know ur grandparents n stuff"

     

    lolllllll. blackness is beautiful. i really see myself as a black person with mixed heritage. i love my black culture and honestly wouldnt trade it for anything else

    I am not a genealogist but I would say that people with

    multi-racial parents and grandparents are multi-racial. 

     

    What they claim, as far as their race is concerned, is  

    up to them.

     

    As to Chilli claiming to be "Blindian," I think she looks

    ridiculous dressing in Indian clothes, and she comes 

    off like an attention seeker, as I stated before.  

     

    Why can't she just sing about the Scrubs and Waterfalls 

    and go sit down somewhere.

    it bothers me that she dresses in indian garbs only because she doesn't seem to celebrate her black heritage or speak up about it as often

    im all for people celebrating who they are but if ur gonna celebrate all of it, truly celebrate all of it...not just some of it.

     

    i know someone who has a multi-racial mixed black/white/indian grandmother and they identify as multiracial because of her

    (their grandmother literally looks like a white woman with a tan lol)

    their other 3 grandparents are black though. do u think theyre going too far identifying as multiracial?

    I disagree and I don't care what anybody sees.  Just because one of her

    great-great-grandparents is some exotic race doesn't mean anything if

    everybody else in her ancestry line is Black.

     

    She is Black.

     

    If she wants to prance around in Indian garb and call herself "Blindian,"  

    that's her business, I don't care.

     

    She is still Black.

    Yes both Chilli and Tatyana Ali are VERY beautiful women.
    I've found them attractive for decades.
    Even when Tatyana was playing Ashley on the Fresh Prince, I knew she'd grow up to be a beautiful woman.

     

    Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' alum Tatyana Ali expecting second child - UPI.com


    And Tatyana does have an "Indian" look about her too.

    I did remember reading something about her father being Indian or something.
    You have a LOT of Black/Indian mixes down in Guyana and Trinidad

     

     

     

    Speaking of the Dravidian....I believe they are as close to the Original human beings of this planet more so than the other current races.

    I believe they...the Dravidians...are older than the Caucasians, Native Americans, and even the Africans.

    I believe they are closer to the Original Black man of the planet.

    yes i love them, another is ananda lewis. ❤️ dont know if u heard of her but look her up if you havent, shes def part of that club lol

     

    what do u think of people who actually appear multiracial identifying with their multiracial heritage? 

    i can kinda understand why some people may identify with their lineage if they see it looking them in the face every day in the mirror

    lol kinda hard to ignore that and they maybe want to connect with it IMO

    If she's only 1/16th Indian...and acting like that, then yes.

    i love her but i do "side eye" her sometimes because she is quick to throw on the indian garbs 

    but she doesnt' speak out about black stuff at all. like with everything thats been going on through BLM, etc.

    not a peep from her. i could understand someone just wanting to celebrate ALL of who they are, but i feel that she kinda puts the indian heritage above her black heritage.

     

    its crazy cuz tatyana ali is half indian through her dad, and shes always speaking up about black stuff and standing up for blackness.

     

    as you can see i have a thing for gorls like tatyana , chilli , etc. lol  i follow them a lot.

    i guess cuz people think i have that kinda "indian/dravadian" look to myself as well. lol i can kinda relate to them
