@choose4me

If Simon Cowell catch that your cat enh, e go hear am!

tpia:
ok, to all these people trying to be white by hook or by crook: why are you trying to force yourselves to be something you're not a la Michael Jackson.And we wonder why bleaching is so popular among Nigerians.

is it any wonder the whites get very protective of their race: they must have extensive experience with white wannabees. Such a pity.

who on this thread are you really talking about here? Who has said he/she wants to be White so far?

choose4me:
Carmelly,

U sure say na Human bin be that??Wetin dothe Nose abi he de use am fly ni? ;DGod is Great O

No be human being, na human plane!

@Tpia

What we are saying is that the rule is silly. It's illogical. If one drop of Black blood makes you Black, what does one drop of White blood make you? It's a racist rule. Apartheid thrived on an identical rule.

You say the rule produced America's first Black President, but the person in question does not regard himself as either White or Black. And I agree with him. Do you call the colour grey,  black because you could get it by mixing white and black colours?

p.s. And what's bad about a 100% Negro going for the White House? You say it like it's a bad thing.

what's the most dangerous game you ever played?

I just added some ideas to my post before i saw your reply. I think we're saying the same thing now.

My problem is with a rule telling anyone who they are. 50% means 50%. Not 100% of something some rule stipulates.

Whatever. He's America's next president. End of discussion _{maybe end of world too. but then who cares?}

@Carmelily

Thats what Racist White think,

They don't see themselves as racist sef, they see themselves as protecting their culture and heritage.

So if Any Mix comes into the WHITE, it is contaminated and therefore BLACk, regardless of the percentage.


But then What is Mixed? are they another Race?

i feel we should really think about this though.

i have "mixed" cousins, "mixed" friends, they all see themselves as black sha, even here in naija.

Haba, Gamine. And do you agree with the skewed White view?

Mixed might be another race, and it might not be. But there's already such an expression as "MIXED RACE" (i didn't coin it). And the fact remains that the one-drop rule doesn't make any sense.

Your friends and your cousins are products of a world where the rule has held sway for generations. But that's not to say they shouldn't choose a culture to be identified by. Good for them. It's their right. Another idea might be allowing the child at the age of consent decide what race he wants to be identified by. That's Human Rights since they are Mixed.

People like Obama and some of MY friends have decided that they should be who they are. Mixed. Obama has never said he's Black or White. That fact has annoyed some folks but that's the rational thing. who's to say what the predominant gene in his SOUL is? Na only him know. Not a rule.

clemcykul:
why not say am single and searching?

lol

coz i'm not

Gamine:
yeah,

but in their minds, Any Black is All Black.

So the TRUE WHITE should not mix with ANYOTHER RACE

@Gamine

I don't really understand. Of course, every Black should be All Black. Anything Mixed is just that. MIXED.

But what does the second statement mean?

Hope none of these naysayers placed bets anywhere

dyabman:
oh i guessed right

Hahahaha

You've been played!

@carmelilly

thats ur boy-friend . maybe ur ex

what a monster!

I take offence

He's my lawfully wedded husband

May your Wailing Wall prayers be answered.

LOL, she obviously didn't write the article and never claimed to have written it na!

Blackcat:
If they have white fathers not if they have white foster or white step fathers. I was referring to [b]blood ties [/b]not just family ties.

Oh ok. point taken

Blackcat:
if they are from black fathers they should fill in their race as blacks because they bear the black father's name. The man is the head of the family and as such the wife and the kids belong to the man.

By this reasoning, White children adopted by Black fathers should be called Black since they bear a Blackman's name I don't agree.

Also, i think a mixed breed child belongs to both parents (Black and White), not just to the father even though he is the head of the home.

The question remains un answered.

White father - black mother = black

black father - white mother = black.

Why?[/quote]Mr. Foulmouth, did you read through the posts at all? It's all because of the one-drop rule. And we have all agreed that it's a stupid rule. What other answer are you looking for?

You don't really have to insult everyone here to be able to get answers.

MrCrackles:
I agree with you

Always knew you had your head on right

mulatto (plural mulattoes or mulattos)

1. A person of mixed African and Caucasian descent, from the Spanish, "mulato", of mixed breed
2. (census) Anyone born to two 1/2 African and 1/2 Caucasian parents.
3. (census) Anyone 3/4 African and 1/4 Caucasian or 1/4 African and 3/4 Caucasian

KarmaMod:
Lol tell that to the forms

Never seen "biracial" on a govt form before.

Thought i said it before? Retards all over the place (govt no exception)

So, so touching. A truly global president

JustGood:
if anyone is able to determine reasonably what defines a black man, it will be easy to classify Obama.
I can't accept the racist one drop rule. If I do, we should just accept every other racist notions of white people.

I don't accept the one-drop rule. At all. Must have been thought up by a retard.

Halle Berry, Lewis Hamilton, Alicia Keys, those Nkrumahs on the preceding pages (to this), and Barack Obama are neither White nor Black in my book. They are Mulattos.

A black man is 100% black. A whiteman is 100% white. Any percentage in-between is just that. IN-BETWEEN. Neither one nor the other. Simple.

Nice pic there Gamine. Good to know the guy looks good in all colours!

OP's point is, not only are mixed race people with Black fathers and white mothers regarded as black but even mixed race people with [b]white fathers and black mothers [/b]are referred to as BLACK. Not logical when you say race is patrilineal. But it's just the one drop rule working.

For me, i think he is MIXED. Neither white nor black. When someone like T.D. Jakes becomes the US president, we can really talk about the 1st BLACK US PRESIDENT. For now, we just have to make do. Not quite it, but good enough.

Kinda like celebrating the new millennium in 2000 lol
