What you are suggesting all throughout your comment boils down to ‘playing both ends against the middle’, and there is so much wrongness in that thought process that I feel unclean. Black Identity is NOT about blood quantums, and I’m sick of folks bringing up ‘one drop’ as if it represents the beliefs of a majority of …

Dang, you wrote a novel.

Fun fact: Ananse isn’t merely a folktale character any more than Legba solely is a trickster, even though both have countless narratives associated with them. He’s also a very active spirit in countless lifestyles, such as an obosom in Akom, a Gede Lwa, even a divinity in Kumfu and/or Winti. We have songs to petition…

It seems as if you’ve missed the point. That point being: Fuck “black” people who are only so when it’s convenient. 

Only people that mention President Barack Obama as half-white, are white people who need to convince themselves he’s an acceptable black man. He’s not racially ambiguous in looks or identity. The story of John Henry losses it’s depth if he isn’t US-black, African-American, or whatever form of black former slave you…

Damn, you really missed the mark and the point, and took so many words to do so.

One of these men is black in word and deed...I’ll leave you to figure out which.

This story deserves a skilled profession- not a fat headed slightly less white Clark Kent.

I love me some him but you can’t play both sides of the fence. He uses his ambiguity to his advantage and that’s fine I guess. But what you not gonna is play a part of someone who is a clearly defined black chocolate man, just because you have the same delicious build. Just like when Zoe S, played Nina Simone... She’s…

Agreed we chart our direction.

Thank you for this information, with receipts.

As much as I enjoy the writing here some of these men are willfully obtuse when it comes to is enjoy with BW. Even the headlines from both Michael and Panama are disappointing as it focuses on the race of the partner and not the other complexities. Note racial grievances against black men are real , those against…

I’ve heard some black men liken fucking white women to getting reparations. Simply, this way of thinking is disturbing, sad and disgusting.

All the stars, just all of them.

You are absolutely correct, I was injecting my bias into your comments. I am sorry.

No shit says the lady in an interracial relationship if this is going to be a lecture about assuming. My point concerns misogynoir which is a problem in the black community.

I think about this all the time and I have too much I can say about it.

Since we’ve started the oppression Olympics please note Native Americans owned slaves and although were not white they had more legal rights than African slaves.

The short answer, of course, is “yes.”

A perceived denigration of Black women? Really?
