Another point, ppl fail 2 acknowledge the difference between race & nationality; my nationality is 100% American & the same can be said 4 generations be4 mine but racially, if one is not just plain Af. Am then they're not. If u have ancestors even near ancestors from continents other than Africa what are these ppl hellbent on trying 2 get u 2 forfeit ur heritage going 2 do about it, travel n2 the past & intercept connections between ur African & non African ancestors thereby changing ur dna?

@IamJver83 Thanks for your comment, people sometimes dont really get the fact that things arent always wht they seem, no matter what someone looks doesnt make them that. Its a very ignorant judgement to pass, basically judging a book by its cover

PEOPLE MAINLY GET JUDGED BY THE COLOUR OF THEIR SKIN. YOUR MIXED RACE, BUT YOUR SKIN IS BLACK. THATS WHAT A BLACK PERSON IS.

[jeremybka]

@TaelynWallace Yeah no that makes sense, thats what i think is a problem because it generalizes everyone into a lump just because your skin is darker.

Some humans think you have to be one race which is not true.

@115manutd first of all I'm not an idiot looks don't matter if you have the races in you that's what you are if a mixed person who doesn't look mixed get a genetic test done what do you think it would say? My mom looks Black and the test she wasn't all Black...

dude u look like a pure african tht came off a slave ship 4 real the only thing about is tht u talk proper n ur hair is a little curly thts all u dnt even look special even if u got plastic surgery u would still look more like a negro but if seem to love ur hair so i suggest tht u be happy with tht the only other thing u can do to make ur self feel special is to have a baby with a white women then u would truly have a mixed child son or daughter tht actully looks mixed

[115manutd]

@GoldenlightPereillie lol u idiot how u look does matter if they cnt c the mixes tht ur mixed with then ur black u may have 25 or 50% but if they cnt see it then ur black n nobody is gona care if u tell them its all about ur look n besides white people r not gona give a shit if ur mixes of not. only black argue n debate n care about light skin n who has the good hair n bad hair n who has the better features becuz most black people wana be white n have there features n skin

This mixed race thing is insane , how can you mixed with something ( africans ) you already have in your dna . All dna comes from africans , no other race is the originator of anything .

You look like an ethiopian there are a few of your kind in ethopia lol from some tribes that look like you ahahahaha

I get the same here in the UK, i and few others i know are dark skinned but our blood is not african.

Personally i found out that my 3/4 of my grandparents are either full blood Native american or at least half, the last 1/4 of my blood is chinese

@TaelynWallace If Black is only skin color does that mean that East Indians with Black skin, Samoans,Fijans,Papua NG, Aborigines are Black to?

@APGifts I respectfully disagree with your point. I believe almost all people are ethnically mixed at this point. The rule that one has to have a certain percentage of mixed heritage in order to be considered mixed, is a human construction. I understand that there may be a social contract that makes it the prevailing truth, with a small "t". But the greater Truth is that someone's heritage, regardless of how many generations back, is still past of his/her genetic make-up, and it can't be erased.
