I don't see what's so hard to understand about race simply being an identification of appearance. If he looks black, he's fckin black.
he looks black in the unites states. the bby would never pass for black in South Africa or Brazil.

he kinda has a point imo

That "one drop blood" rule was around since the slavery days.

it's a bit more than one fucking drop

Feels like he's one of those people that has always wanted a bright baby

Sad

Hence why he only fucked with white women and his female back fans use to drag him on social media  :dead:

And since he lives in the United States, that's what we're kinda referencing.

Does it hurt or offend you to be called black?

Miranda

it could be seen as dismissive to his other sides, if people by default just see him as 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

I see where's he's trying to come from.

If someone is mixed,biracial etc... I feel they should be able to claim both/all sides firmly without others just dismissing parts.

People are so quick to say "oh so you're black or African American"

I understand his point but his son WILL get used to and over it.

Ok. And you're still BLACK lol

He went as far as creating a children's book for biracial kids. You'd think it would be his white mother who would be doing this but it's Taye Digg's self-hating ass, smh.

BetterAngels

He's saying that like we black people made up the rule.  It's the whites the made it a social norm, so he's preaching to the wrong crowd

no I get it, but he really hates the idea

I mean to "FEAR" the thought of someone calling you a huge part of what you are  :plzstop: what is there to fear exactly? :dead: it makes me feel like he wouldn't flinch if people called that boy white
