Everyone has the right to identify however they like even if they white identifying as black or black identifying as white. But that don't make it right. Only embracing a part of yourself is denying the other part is your heritage, is your genetics, is whom you are. I don't approve of those who don't love thy whole selves including that white part.

In 2000 the census was changed to allow you to select more than one race. Correct me if I wrong but Obama won the election in 2008, 8 years later. Lets just be honest the thingthat changed was when white women really started having biracial kids and raising them in their white culture giving biracial people a real connection to their white heritage. It's not so easy to look at your mom who birthed you and raised you and say your heritage is not mine.

Race is a social construct & hierarchy, if you look at how it's been set up, FACT, white people place themselves at the top, people who are biracial can be considered EITHER black OR biracial but not white UNLESS they are passing. It is up to the individual & their experience to decide if & how they identify, not everyone else. If we want to fool ourselves we are free to do so but we have to remember that society will impose itself regardless. FACT

No, my problem is with white aussies who think they have insight into africans in america just because they jerk off to Beyonce.
Why can't they just worry about their own issues of "second class citizenship" since they are living under the tyrannical dominion & genocide of the Aboriginal majority ruling class that rules over them & stole their lands?

Blacks have no more right to label biracial people than whites do. Biracial does NOT mean black! And whether you like labels or not, if you parents are of different races then you ARE biracial and you can't escape that. Just because you have a problem with white people does not mean ALL biracial people have problems with whites.

Oh well I believe that if you are not black or biracial then you have no right to tell us how to label ourselves.

"they are not considering us." so true.

question: at 2:58 why do you care so much what white people think about biracials? Why is their opinion so important to you?

You say white people only see biracial people as black, I say BULLSHIT! I see biracial people as biracial. Halle Berry went on about how she's the first African American woman to get an Oscar and that pissed me off. She's NOT black she's biracial. I believe If you were not born or raised in Africa then you have no right to label yourself as African. I have only watched the view once, they were talking about affirmative action and I liked what Elisabeth Hasselbeck had to say plus she's hot.
I never listen to Ann. She has built a career based on being ignorant and braodcasting opinions that she knows will be obtuse and offensive - but will put her in the spotlight. She is nothing more than the weak bully in the schoolyard in need of attention. Don't waste your time feeling offended by her. While she positions herself as "educated", she is ignorant.

that is one thing about whites that annoy me. right up until obama became known to the world. a mixed person mixed with black, was seen ONLY as black. whites made no fuss over how they claimed themselves, nor were there mixed of 2 races choices on applications.
its not until obama comes along white change the rules again...they did it, cause they want to discredit him, and take claim at his successes.
im mulatto myself. so i should know.
