does it bother anyone when light skinned or mixed african americans call themselves black?
in my experience other blacks have no problem with it, it is most commonly a problem with white people.
obviously in terms of skin tone they may not be ‘black’ but in terms of heritage they are african.
ive had several people, especially white girls, tell me im ‘not black’ and i always find it disturbing that they feel the need to express this opinion, and it is usually mean spirited like an attempt to hurt me.
im not half white and if anything behind african im predominately native american.
i have obvious theories on why this is an issue with people, but since i cant really observe it from an outside perspective i wanted to find out why this bothers some people so much.

Are you really part Indian or are you doing the trendy thing that is largely bullshit?
If you are indeed predominately Indian, why do you call yourself black?

im sorry, but youre a fucking moron, and apparently you cant read because if you wouldve taken 5 minutes to ACTUALLY READ MY POSTS you would have an answer to your inane question.
nevermind the fact that you tried to attack my character doing exactly what most insecure, igonorant, narrow minded white people do by trying to undermine my feelings and reducing the issue to simply a matter of ‘me trying to be cool or trendy’
listen closely fuckface, ill repeat it again…
MY FATHER IS BLACK, MY MOTHER IS (IN DESCENDING ORDER) BLACK, NATIVE AMERICAN, CARIBBEAN (WEST INDIES), AND WHITE
THE ONLY REASON MY MOTHER IS CARIBBEAN AND WHITE IS BECAUSE HER GREAT GRANDFATHER, WHO WAS WHITE, HAD A CHILD WITH ONE OF HIS SERVANTS OUT OF WEDLOCK THAT WAS FROM THE WEST INDIES
THEREFORE SINCE MY FATHER IS BLACK AND MY MOTHER IS PART BLACK THAT WOULD MAKE ME PREDOMINATELY BLACK
AND IN TERMS OF CULTURE BOTH MY PARENTS WERE RAISED IN BLACK CULTURE, SAW THEMSELVES AS BLACK AND WERE TREATED AS SUCH BY SOCIETY LEADING THEM TO RAISE MYSELF AND MY BROTHERS THE SAME WAY AND WE WERE TREATED BY PEOPLE THE SAME AS WELL
THIS IS WHY I SAY IM BLACK, AND AGAIN YOURE A FUCKING MORON.
AND APPARENTLY I NOW KNOW THAT THE REASON SOME WHITE PEOPLE GET UPSET WHEN I SAY I AM BLACK IT IS BECAUSE YOU DONT VIEW BEING BLACK AS ANYTHING MORE THAN AN ‘IMAGE’ DERIVED FROM POP CULTURE AND HAVE NO RESPECT FOR IT AS AN ACTUAL NATIONALITY OR SOURCE OF HERITAGE, GO FUCK YOURSELF.
