Ahead for black Americans, we usually identify ourselves as either African Americans or black Americans or just black. But usually when you refer to black people, it doesn't matter where you're from, right? You can be from AF, Africa or the United States. It used to be if you're from the US. But here in America, should biracials even be considered black? There have been some talks about black people dividing themselves or separating themselves from mixed people

And he thought he didn't really like that that much or something. He had he made some statement about it. And it's interesting. We've been fighting so much as black culture for acceptance and equality, and we were pretty much discriminated against and hated for interracial dating

Like the blue vein society created their own racial group. So they didn't see themselves as black. They saw themselves as mixed. So, yeah, it can lead to more division. You remember Beyonce, right? She popularized this movement where the black community we're talking about, well, we should be called black people, and the ones that are darker than brown skin should be called black people. So, yes, another discussion about phenotype. But yeah, man

It's this very sort of vulnerable thing to where it's a lot of vitriol with it, but it's also the personification of cool. It is the height of coolness in culture, modern pop culture, and blackness go hand in hand. So as long as that's the case, there's always going to be biracial people that will lean towards that blackness at some point in their life or when it suits them
