Interesting video........

I'm glad you posted it because it highlights many of the arguments I have AGAINST accepting mixed race people as "Black".


First of all, she looks good to be in her mid 50s.

Second of all, notice she said her father was "Black" but her mother was "Italian".
She...like most people...mix up race with ethnicity; but I think she did this on purpose to conflate the two.
She could have said Black father and White mother, but she instead focused on her mother's ethnicity to somehow perhaps subconsciously disguise the White side and focus on the Black side.

Keep in mind also that many AfroAmericans who are called "Black" are mixed up themselves so there's no telling "how Black" her father was.


Third, notice how she refers to her adoptive mother as a "beautiful" Swedish/German woman.
Tells me that she sees those people as the standard of beauty.
Also how she refers to the little girl she had a fight with as a blonde girl with ribbons in her hair, also holding her up as a high standard that she probably felt she didn't measure up to.


Fourth, she points out the fact that she looked like another "Black" woman who was Jane Kennedy.
But Jane Kennedy is ALSO MIXED RACE.
So you have mixed people calling themselves "Black" and trying to represent the Black community but really identifying with eachother.
This is part of the problem which leads to further division and confusion INSIDE the community.

What I REALLY heard from her was....like most mixed race people in the U.S...she WASN'T ACCEPTED by the White community she was raised in and had no choice but to either be isolated or identify with the Black community because she KNEW that mixed people are often readily accepted in our community.

However I DO NOT consider her Black.
Just because White folks don't accept her as White....doesn't mean I have to accept her as Black.
She's mixed.
She should be proud of that fact and identify as such.

@Pioneer1 

ah ok, I posted it in this section of the forum cause I didn't feel this reflected anything I wanted on my status line at this time nor did it have a literary angle I was interested in going to, but with current events it is warranted to post so I did. 

 

For me, the USA's past starting as english colonies created an environment of dysfunction around most topics to the people in it. that modernity can not or will not be able to fix absent more dysfunction.

Not necessarily...She grew up in a white environment where  her mother is not just seen as white....but more seen as Italian - in that same white family her father is seen as American as in Black American.

This idea that you are now espousing will only serve to exasperate the situation to the benefit of those oppressing blacks.

This idea is not new...it was introduced to the west  in the 1500 to oppress non white people called the Casta System - Mulatto creole octoroon quadroon etc

it is true statement

 

It's a true statement IF:

 

1. Her father was predominately of the Black race or atleast presented as such.
As opposed to looking like Prince or one of the DeBarges...lol.

 

2. Her mother was BORN IN ITALY.
Italians are born in Italy.
If she was born in the U.S., may as well call her an American White woman and get it over with.

 

 

How Black????....as in degrees of blackness

 

Yes, there are....just like there are degrees of "whiteness".

Swedes are consider "more White" than Greeks or Italians.

 

 

 

She grew up in a racist society....and those are the standards of beauty...

 

Standards she probably adopted herself, and may even pass along to HER children.
Which will surely give them low self esteem if they are her complexion or darker.

 

 

 

Yes they are black if society says they are. 

 

So since "society" at one time said AfroAmericans were only 3/5 of a human being, then that means they were indeed?

 

 

 

 

This idea is not new...it was introduced to the west  in the 1500 to oppress non white people called the Casta System - Mulatto creole octoroon quadroon etc 

 

That aspect of it...I have no problem with.
I think maybe we should categorize AfroAmericans similary, but WE control the categories as opposed to the oppressor.

 

 

 

Well some say they do not feel accepted by the black community....as they are seen as not black enough.

 

Perhaps they aren't accepted by the Black community because they aren't Black AT ALL.

Half = HALF

Simple mathematics.

The confusion comes in when you try to call someone who CLEARLY isn't Black and doesn't look like most Black folks...."black" anyway.

 

You are entitled to your opinions....no matter how misguided I think they are.

By what standard do you call my opinions "misguided"?
Should the correct "opinion" be to accept EVERYBODY with one drop of Black blood in them as Black?

Although it's fictional, the book "Imitation of Life" comes to mind.

However, depending on what you mean by "internal phenotypical"....it could actually be an OXYMORON.
Physically speaking, if it's phenotypical...it is usually expressed externally.

@frankster I know the human stain, rarely mentioned film or book it is derived loosely from  hmmm well done, the authors agenda is to strong in the book but the film, cuts to the key issue. 

 

@Pioneer1 that is why i said "internal phenotypical heritage in the black populace in the usa"  Verbosity is useful at times to be clear. Geography/specific phenotypical populace in said geography/specific heritage in said populace . 

Imitation of life is a telling choice. It is the most well known or commercial literature based on the topic.

What does a Black Candidate for an elected position in the USA need to do to earn black votes in the polls absent their phenotypical identity?

Historically....Black candidates and non-Black too haven't  had to do anything in order to earn Black votes. 

 

The majority of Black folks have voted along the same party line for several decades and counting.

 

That voting trend will continue as long as Black folks are satisfied with the status quo...nothing in return for their vote.

 

The tide will only change when Black folks understand politics is transactional.  Voters should get something in return. 

 

Rest assured that AIPAC exists for a very real reason.  They're putting money up to secure their interests too.

[richardmurray]

@ProfD well, in your opinion , do most black people in the usa vote ? 

I argue most black people don't vote in the usa, the last time most blacks voted was circa 1865 at the end of the war between the states and from then to now it is a negative slope. 

Now if you answer to my opening question yes, most black people in the usa vote , I have nothing to say.

BUt, if you answer to my opening question no, most black people in the usa don't vote, then I repeat the question 

What does a Black Candidate for an elected position in the USA need to do to earn black votes in the polls absent their phenotypical identity?

That's interesting because men of all races couldn't vote until 1870.

To answer your question anyway, Black candidates need to offer Black voters tangible benefits.

 

More importantly, Black folks need to form our own political party.

[richardmurray]

@ProfD 

So do you think most black people in the usa who are eligible to vote are registered to vote? 

If yes then ok, but if not then your answer to the question is the key, and that is my point. Government isn't hard. No system of government is truly bad, including monarchy. If you do for the masses, no matter the system , you will get the support from the masses. A german once said on pbs as a kid he was in the german rubble and the nazi's came and ended the ruble and made life grand. He enjoyed the pre war nazi years. He didn't defend the nazis harming others but was honest. He was helped. 

The negative slope in black people voting or being registered from circa 1870 to today isn't an accident, it is well arned by elected officials actions in the usa,  the black people who vote in the usa  are a minority in the black populace ... based on recent statistics in NYC, from the non blacks, most people in all groups, including white or asian in nyc don't vote in majority ... So most communities are simply not being helped and thus don't vote. An elected official wants your vote in any government , do for you , it is very simple.

and thank you for correcting the time on the 15th amendment

Black folks in the USA have consistently voted Democratic since 1933.  Not sure that it matters much considering what we have gotten from that party over almost 100 years.

[richardmurray]

I can't confirm any statistics but I am sure most black people in nyc who are eligible to vote don't. If I extend my thinking to the non black , i am certain most communities in nyc's eligible voters don't vote. And the reason being what most new yorkers , any racial category say , over and over and over and that includes whites and asians, the elected officials don't do anything so....

I concur  , with fewer and fewer black people who are eligible to vote,voting since circa 1865 neither party has seemed interested in doing anything to earn the votes of those not voting which is the majority in the black populace

Well.....
Would you rather be the oppressOR or the oppressEE (is that a word???) oppressED?

Take your pick.
Because in this world, either YOU have power and are ruling over somebody or you DON'T have power and somebody is ruling over YOU.

 

Me personally, I'd rather be a RULER than RULED over.

It's a testimony to how blind and ignorant your beloved "society" that you put so much trust in, really is.

 

The goal should be to stamp out anti-Black racism.
Calling "everybody" Black doesn't accomplish this goal one bit any more than purposely getting arrested and going to jail solves the problem of police brutality.

I don't agree though, that just because Harris referred to her adoptive mother as beautiful translates to her being a beauty standard. 

 

It wasn't Harris who referred to her mother as beautiful but the mixed raced woman in the video originally posted, who did.
 

Nothing wrong with a person calling their mother beautiful.
I would refer to my own Mother as beautiful.
However what was telling was HOW she referred to her being beautiful.

She didn't just say her beautiful mother but referred to her being Swedish/German before calling her beautiful.
Suggesting that her beauty was tied to those ethnic roots.

 

 

I know though, that we African Americans do have that problem in our background.

Ofcourse.
And we need to reeducate ourselves as stamp it out....like we did in the 60s and 70s.

Our community used to be VERY color-struck before the 60s, but then along came the Black Pride and Black Love movements and dark skinned became beautiful to use again.  
Along with Jet Beauty and Essence, we fell inlove with our Blackness.
Most other cultures around the world haven't had that yet, so many of them still worship white skin as the ideal standard.


 

 

I am not sure how to answer that question.
 

Don't feel too bad, there doesn't seem to be a question there to answer....lol.

Facts. Some African women are ridiculous with the pancake makeup:

 

 

They become a couple shades shy of a full blown geisha girl:

 

Clearly, those women who pancake or bleach their faces didn't get the memo that Black has been beautiful since the 1060s.

Man, your first two pictures remind me of an exchange that took place between a woman at work from Tanzania who showed me a picture of her when she was going back home to see her husband.

I guess she was trying to impress me or something as we were talking about make-up and looks and what women do.

She is actually darker than the woman on the left, pretty smooth skinned sista with her hair braided and wrapped up for work.

She showed me a video and it looked so much different, she was as light as Jasmine Guy with her lower hair straight and with blonde highlights!
Braided at the top towards the roots but straight as Chinese at the bottom with blonde highlights and she's flinging it all over the place as she's riding with somebody on her way to see her husband.

 

Face yellow.
Even her neck and hands were yellow down to her chest.
The only thing that reminded me of her were her facial features.

 

I said, "What the fuck is this?????"

 

She looked up at me smiling...eyes all juicy...saying she was on her way to see her husband.

She initially assumed I was surprised in a "good" way at how she essentially changed races.

She found out 5 minutes later....lol.

 

She couldn't believe that as a man I actually found her 10 times more attractive/prettier as the dark skinned sista that she was in that video.

Because you earlier said  this woman was Black because "society" said she was.

If society...by your standard...sets the definitions for people's identity and you agree with it (apparently), then it follows that you would also agree with society (at that time atleast) declaring that Black Americans are only 3/5 human.



 

The choice have been made....I am one of the Oppressed
 

Oppressor and Oppressed are relative terms depending on the environment and situation.
 

In the contemporary system of the United States, Caucasians are the oppressors and AfroAmericans are the Opressed.

In one of my neighbor's houses down the street, HE is the oppressor and the mice in his house that he is trying to trap and kill  are the oppressed.

At the temp service down the street, the temp workers are oppressed and most of the supervisors they work under are the oppressors.
 

It all depends on who's in charge and in a rulership position and who is submitting to them.

Not all Rulers are Oppressive....heavy is the head that wears the crown
 

True.
However nobody who is being oppressed is a ruler.
And that's a RULE, lol.

I'd rather be in a RULERSHIP position myself, rather than roll the dice on whether or not I get an oppressive or non-oppressive ruler.



Calling and recognizing that everybody is human is a start.
 

How is questioning someone's race...questioning their humanity?  (Unless..like you...they support the 3/5th decision, lol.)
 

Presenting mixed people are just as human as Black or White people.
They just aren't Black.

Just like I'm just as human as a woman, doesn't give me the right to identify as one.

Getting arrested and going to jail is a protest.
 

Actually...getting arrested and going to jail is simply GETTING ARRESTED and GOING TO JAIL.
You don't necessarily protest a damn thing.

Well Racist are still trying to find a scientific rational  or biological basis for race....so far they have not found anything that stands up to scientific inquiry and rigors of proving.
 

Racists don't need to.
They believe in the existence of race and weaponize it regardless of the biology or science of it.

You can quote science or deny it all you want, a White racist will STILL see you as different from them based on how you look whatever you want to call it.  



 

As of today Race remain a scientific and biological fiction.
 

If it's fiction, why do doctors and scientists recognize it and formulate medicines and write articles with race as a factor?

They obviously not only recognize it but also understand it....even if YOU refuse to, lol.

 Black connotes a racial categorization....I see racial categorization as a social convention - if you live in a racist society then the society treats you according to how it categorizes you. 

The US as a racist society states that if you have one drop of black blood then you are black...if you belong to the US society then that convention holds and is binding.

Outside of that society different rules applies....in some parts world that same person maybe seen as white.

3/5 was a political compromise.

Just as how I do not accept the idea of races as biological  so too i do not accept the 3/5 concept as biological.

As of today Race remain a scientific and biological fiction.
 

If it's fiction, why do doctors and scientists recognize it and formulate medicines and write articles with race as a factor?

They obviously not only recognize it but also understand it....even if YOU refuse to, lol.

Sociological it is real in racist societies....because they enforces its biases with violence and discriminatory treatment laws practice and mores

I don't see my question, can you post it regularly?

 

Oops! 

 

"After or Post Kamala Harris will a Black Candidate be able to use their Black identity , real or advertised, like Obama or Kamala?"

 

I did not respond to the poll because I don't know how to answer? 

I remember when Obama was campaigning and, it was such a confusion for me. In one sense, he was portrayed as 'a Black man' by Black people and probably many others as well. But then on the other hand, it seemed as though Obama himself did not want to be regarded as such. He seemed to want to be regarded as a leader that represented all Americans. 

 

So, did he portray himself in words as being a Black man? I am not sure. 

Many Black people voted for him for that reason, because he was Black. They voted for him because he was Black, from their viewpoint and Obama knew that. He knew that he was being viewed by the world as being the first 'black' president of the USA, however, he wanted to represent everyone. 

 

But I remember when Trayvon Martin was murdered, Obama associated himself with this young man. He mentioned how when he was young how people would lock their cars when they saw him walking, I think, he said that. So, Obama had to 'play both sides of the coin' so-to-speak, whether he wanted to or not. So the question for me is, did Obama want to use his Black identity before and/or after he became president? 

 

I don't know.

 

I wonder if he went along with the 'black identity' propaganda while he campaigned and then afterwards, change his persona, and spoke against any connotations of him being Black. 

 

Likewise, does VP Harris speak at all about being Black now?

Did she ever identify in her conversations as being Black or ethnic to gain the support of Black people?

 

I do remember how it was broadcasted that she was Jamaican and that her smoking 'pot' was due to her Jamaican culture!

But her father did not like that!  

 

But now, should she become president of USA, will she identify herself in conversation as being Black?

Or will it be more highlighted that she is the first female president or both?

 

I am more leaning towards her probably not identifying as being black, but that will not stop Black women from seeing her in that manner. I thinks she will represent a symbol for all women and so, White women and Asian women, etc. will view her as non-black, while Black women will view her as being Black. It is set up for her to play both sides [i.e. all-sides] of the coins, so-to-speak. I think it's like 'an intersectionality' and so, many Black Americans maybe misled to believe that things will change for the better. 

 

But just like what happened with Trayvon Martin being sacrificed during Obama's presidency and countless others, her becoming president may insight more problems for Black people. It may be like 'taking one step forward but two steps backwards'. 

 

 

*************************** 

So I guess the answer may revolve around how that 'Black candidate' is perceived 'racially'. If the candidate is light skinned or bi-racial, then, they will be viewed like Obama and VP Harris, but if the candidate is culturally a Black American DOS then, I guess they will still be viewed as 'Black'. So, if let's say, someone like Jesse Jackson were to become president, then although he is light skinned, people will still view him as Black. And he too, will probably still profess to be a Black man, imo, but yet a president for all. 

 

[richardmurray]

@Chevdove hahaha

 

ok now to read your reply:) 

 

Thank you. 

You seemed to say that Obama or Kamala considered themselves Statian/American first and Black or Female or Male second, and use their multiracial identity to gain media assignment or association when fruitful AND black elected officials will do that going forward. 

 

I concur , I argue that Frederick Douglass and the Black elected officials of South Carolina post war between the states, set this black elected official style, that has persisted for near two hundred years in the usa. 1865 to 1965 to 2065. but I will say this, NYC is showing all racial groups in the usa are tired of voting for elected officials who don't earn the votes with favorable legsilations, all groups.

She didn't just say her beautiful mother but referred to her being Swedish/German before calling her beautiful.
Suggesting that her beauty was tied to those ethnic roots.

 

 

yes, I understand. I still think that she would say it even if her mother was 'Black'. But again, I do understand that we, as Black people, have had a serious problem with that kind of identity connection of connecting 'our skin color' and ethnicity to being beautiful--- or not.

Black connotes a racial categorization....I see racial categorization as a social convention

 

It is.

 

 - if you live in a racist society then the society treats you according to how it categorizes you. 

 

True

 

 

The US as a racist society states that if you have one drop of black blood then you are black

 

True

 

 

...if you belong to the US society then that convention holds and is binding.

 

Not necessarily.
Just because society believe it, doesn't mean it's true.
It could be that society was miseducated and ignorant.

 

 

The idea of races is based on hierarchy.

 

Currently, yes...but not necessarily.

Race can be compared to flavors of ice cream.
Obviously there are different flavors; that FACT can't be denied.

Now if a person or people want to SELECT one flavor and claim it's better or tastes better than the other flavors...that doesn't eliminate the fact that there ARE distinct and different flavors of ice cream; it simply means that they are trying to enforce THEIR opinions about a particular flavor on others.

 

neither are they white.....just humans various shades or hues of brown
 

Ok, so do you agree with me that these mixed presenting people are NOT Black?


 

Now the idea of race as biology has weaken....and so has racism with it.
 

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Biology is science, which means it's true.
If something is true....then it's just as true NOW as it was in the PAST.

From a biological perspective, all human beings are the same.

 

IOW, a fertile man and woman regardless of race from separate continents or anywhere else on the planet can get busy and reproduce offspring.

 

OTOH, a crocodile and alligator both reptiles in the order Crocodylia, could tango all day long and produce nothing. Same goes for whales and sharks. 

 

Nonetheless, despite our similarities as a species, our differences from a tribal perspective are very real.

 

The reason white folks fear China is because they haven't colonized them. Chinese people are on code.

 

Otherwise, white folks have codified racial classification and used every trick of divide and conquer and kill in order to maintain the system of racism white supremacy.

Yes, and WE should be competing with and trying to "out do" in this race, instead of trying to "get along" with our open enemy.

They've shown time and time again that there is NO "getting along" with them.

For those who have sense enough to realize this.

So far, the Caucasians HAVE had enough sense to realize that they are competing with others....when will we?

 

 

 

The Pseudo Science of Races which was invented in the West for the purpose of oppressing some people....was accept from the 1600 to the mid 1900 as Scientific fact.

 

Perhaps you're right that the "pseudo science" for races was invented by the West, but as I've said before...the ancient Egyptians as well as those in India knew about race and the differences in the races for THOUSANDS of years before today.

Nobody is out there "testing" to see if water is still made up of 2 atoms of Hydrogen and 1 atom of Oxygen

This is already been established as FACT.
 

If it's a FACT then it needs no more testing because it has been proven to be true.

 

 

 

 

If new evidence/facts is found that brings into question formally accepted theories thought to be scientific fact....

 

Again, when you're dealing with theories.......not facts.



 

Those theories in question...if they do not stand up to new and modern scrutiny will be reject as false and unscientific or fitted in to the new paradigm. 

 

Correct.
Again, we're dealing with THEORIES.

But what has been established as FACT/TRUTH remains the same.

If it was true in 1600....then it's still true today.

 

Even if the situation changed, it's still true that it was "true" at that time.

 

In other words, if this land was occupied by Native Americans 1000 years ago....that's STILL TRUE.

It's not true that they still occupy it, but the fact that it WAS occupied by them 1000 years ago was true THEN, true NOW, and will be true IN THE FUTURE.

No "new knowledge" will come out to disprove this.

If information comes out that tries to....it will be lies.

Much of the "new knowledge" that you see a lot of people coming out with over the internet isn't new information or knowledge at all but LIES that they pulled out of their ass to make their point or bolster their propaganda.

Today, most are mixed and even Black.

 

Most Asians....as depicted in Egypt....were a slightly mixed but still Caucasian people.

I would not call them Caucasians.....but lighter skinned than their fellow Africans

Ethnicity is based on Geography, culture heritage language and diet all of ...which influences appearance

 

To a certain extent, but not as much as biology itself

A woman can lose fat and gain more muscle through diet and exercise but no amount of changing her diet or exercise will turn her into a MAN....that's genetic/biological.

True...... but that same woman can move from Africa and come to North America and get a lighter skin tone in a matter of a few years.

Totally different ethnicity.

Aryans were not what we considers white

 

But they were Caucasian, originally.
And later on many of them became mixed up to where the term became fluid.

But originally....it referred to the Caucasian tribes who invaded the Indus Valley region.

No....They were never originally Caucasians.

My point is, racial classification is a social construct but the actual RACE itself isn't.
It doesn't change.

No.
There are two different races in the picture.

Doesn't matter what YOU would call them....lol
....sheeeyid.....
YOU wanna run around here calling EVERYBODY "Africans".....lol.

They ARE what they ARE regardless of what somebody wants to "call" them.

They aren't Caucasian simply because of their lighter skin ALONE.
They are Caucasians because of their ancestral origins.
The White Berbers (Amazigh people) descend from Greek colonizers who settled on the shores of North Africa centuries earlier.

There were many sets of Africans residing in the Americas AMONG the various tribes of brown skinned Native Americans.

The Aryans were a tribe of Caucasians (one of many) who came from the Caucasus mountains (thus their racial classification/name), traveled to the Indus Valley region where they found the Black Dravidians (who were racially different from them) and conquered and oppressed them and drove many of them further south and east.

Oh?
I thought your point was the statement you made a few posts ago that:

Simply A teacher name Jame Elliot created a theory of Race based on eye color....and taught it to her students.

There is no phenotype that is specific to anyone race and excusive from all other races....99.9 percent more alike than different.

A set of traits make a phenotype....

I know that a few of hours in the sun can change your complexion a couple a shades darker and the vice versa is true...Geography

Way too many Carrots or consuming foods with too many carotene can result in skin tone change....dietary

 

Skin color is the primary biological factor that racism is based on.....simply exposure to sun or dietary change  can affect that.

Nappy hair (not curly or kinky but NAPPY) is exclusive to the African race, as Chevdove and Cynique pointed out already.

 

As far as I know GREEN (not blue or grey) eyes are exclusive to Caucasians.

 

 

So what were they before the Greeks colonize them?

 

The Greeks didn't colonize them, they WERE the Greeks and descended from the Greeks.

Later on, those Greeks mixed in with the local African populations to make the Berbers that you have today.

And of those two, neither look natural.
Especially the brother with the dreads.

How do we know those are their natural green eyes and that they aren't using contact lenses?


BTW....

You are saying the Aryans came from the Caucasus mountains....I am saying they were indigenous to Iran

Why did i say they were indigenous to Iran....because that is where the word/term Aryan Originated - it simply means noble civilize and city dweller.

The people from the Caucasus were not city dwellers but nomadic tribes men or herds men/horsemen ....nor were they considered civilize or noble.

In other words Aryan represented the Aristocracy of Iran....it was not a race tribe or ethnicity - they were sedentary agriculturalist
