Re: Black is black?
It always bothers me that he is referred to as black. He's 1/2 black and 1/2 white. Sure if I saw him on the street, I'd just think of him as black, but knowing he isn't, I refer to him as mixed race. This archaic one drop rule is quite damaging for mixed race peoples.

Yeah, whatever. If he isn't an asian chick, you don't give a shit about him.Guest wrote:It always bothers me that he is referred to as black. He's 1/2 black and 1/2 white.

Re: Black is black?
The rule should be: What do you want to be called, and do the vast majority of others of the same group identify you as such? If he considers himself black and other self-identifying black people consider him black, that's good enough for me.Guest wrote:It always bothers me that he is referred to as black.

Re: Black is black?
Thats the ingrained racism in society. He is as much white as black however in order to be called white you must be totally white, have a relative that once holidayed in Africa and you are black.Guest wrote:It always bothers me that he is referred to as black.

Great song, though I prefer the Equals version. It's not available on Youtube, so here's Michael and the Slipper Tree from 1969, an underrated gem!tepista wrote:"Black is Black"
