Like Obama is half white half black but i have rarely heard people refer to him as a white man. But he always gets called black or black racial slurs.

he looks black.

Lol. I mean I know Mariah has a lot of black blood in her
But I'd feel weird calling her a black womuh.

Obama would not be "black" in South Africa. Looking black is very subjective.

this goes back to my point

Which is that race is socially constructed which means that conclusions can vary from person to person.
Ethnicity gives a bottom line factual tea. Race is all in the eyes of the beholder.

Common said nothing wrong at all.  Taye Diggs, however, sounds very confused.

Ethnicity is difficult too actually, because it has a lot to do with identity, feeling of belonging etc.

If anything biological race is bottom line factual. Social race AND ethnicity are constructed.

Ethnicity is often determined by language, religion or both and can vary even therein. Latinos with African origin and Latinos with native origin are both ethnically Latinos.

i mean being mixed can suck sometimes .. like you LOOK more black yes but half of me is white.. half my family is white .. lol

Does it hurt or offend you to be called black?

no not at all because thats what i look like but no one ever really just says HEY BLACK BOY!! .. the only way you call tell im mixed  is cause of how light i am and also my eyes are naturally blue .. so ppl always asked are you mixed? or what are you mixed with  


but yeah no it wouldnt offend me
:ohwow: :flamebroiled: :heyddy:

This all reminds me of Mariah & her mother's Oprah segment/appearance on mixed children & interracial families a BIT.

It was really touching and kinda heartbreaking.  :stressed:

what did common say
In the midst of the black hunting season
He told blacks to forgive whites and 'lend a hand'

He was not talking about forgiving police officers. He was talking about race relations, period.  He was talking about forward movement in race relations. He saw blacks as ready to move forward and forgive past mess (not to forget it, but not to hold it against all white people.

I can see how you would be offended if you thought he was speaking about white cops killing innocent blacks going on right now, though.

america is disgusting tho. nnn

not school cliques being seperated by race, Is it OITNB? nnn


LOONA.

hhfff

I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt because interracial couples strongly advise their kids to embrace both sides and not just pick one.

But I think Taye is just a dummy.
