@1aughingaspeopledie I'm not ashamed of my dual heritage, so don't lol me. Racial identity is a personal thing, and to be referred to as half white half black is an insult. While I'm descended from both white and black people, I'm more black than I am white both physically and in the sense that I would never be mistaken for or experience life as a white person. It's not about rejecting my European heritage, I simply reject the notion that he or I is as much a white man as a black man.

...as for "biracial", I don't personally have much time for that term. If people identify *themselves* by it then fine, but it seems to me that I have one race, not two. That one race is comprised of African and European blood, and the end result is a mixture that falls more on the African side than the European side physically. The bottom line is that unless you're Vin Diesel, you're unlikely to look in the mirror and see a white man if your of my racial makeup.

...to elaborate: as I've said before, mixed race blacks like him and myself are not zebras. Most of us look about 75% 'black', we do not experience life as white people but as lightskinned black people. It is insulting and offensive to us to claim that we're as much white as we are black, as well as being false. He hasn't focused on blacks like he hasn't focused on the middle class. Because he's a shill, not cause his mother was white. Look at his wife and kids, for fuck's sake.
