You can be mixed all you like, there is nothing special about it. You live and die like all people. You can claim both sides, or one side, but nine times outta ten you will not be accepted into that white inner circle. The majority of mixed people in reality know this. This is why they try so hard to claim being mixed, as they believe in someway this will give them a hand up on not being “seen” as Black.

Just because the first homosapiens were found in Africa, it doesnt mean we all have black genes. If you study evolution, you will find that we acquired different traits according to the place the homosapien had migrated. Also, different kinds of homosapiens have been found throughout Europe with aryan features..

A lot of you have serious issues. Being Black or African American (which ever one you prefer) today usually means that you are mixed with something. Kind of like the Latin community. Look at her features, she is obviously mixed with something, but that doesn’t mean that she is less black or more black or whatever. Whatever she chooses to call herself is up to her and her alone, just like whatever you choose to call yourself is up to you. Stop making it a bigger issue than it really is. All worked up over nothing. It doesn’t what color you are. The only thing that should matter is how good of person you are.
Hot debate. What do you think?

yeah but by how much, not a lot thats for sure. a lot are only 1/16 or 1/8 and sometimes even less than that. Then you get to 1/4 and so on and you could be considered mulatto
