It just makes no sense to call someone who is half "white" and half "black" black.
it reeks of the same bullshit they have pushed upon anyone with even a remote trace of "black" in them, pure racial denigration really.
like Public Enemy said
black man, black woman, black baby
white man, white woman, white baby
white man, black woman, black baby
black man, white woman, black baby.
hell, in this stupid fucking backwards-ass shit, a person could have 3 white grandparents and one black one (making said person 1/8 "black') and BY LAW in the USA, you are listed as "BLACK."
we need to get past that shit as a nation and I hope the sight of a "mixed" man of great potential can make people realiz ejust how stupid and self-destructive such a simple thing as deciding whether someone should be labeled "black" or "white" truly is.
