You can actually call yourself whatever you want, but just understand that Americans look ridiculously stupid when they criticize different kinds of mixed people for not identifying as black and that they also look stupid to most foreigners for identifying as black when they look like they just have two distant African ancestors.

Importantly, perpetuating and legitimizing the one drop rule is just continuing its racist ideology that categorizes anyone not pure enough to be white as black, African blood being understood as a grave contamination.
You don't know what the one drop rule is and need to stop mentioning it
 
Can I ask about the balaclavas? (The orange head covering in one of the clips. We call them balaclavas in Australia, not sure about other places.)
Are they worn to genuinely protect identity, or is there some other reason? The reason I ask is if I owned a rig as sexy as that dude's, I'd want to own it!
 
Looks black to me

Because you are brainwashed to think any non-white brown person is black. And no, he does not look black. He looks what he is, a mulatto. That's how real biracial actually look like. Either that or you want to exaggerate the diversity of the black race by lumping the mixed light skins. Perhaps you consider them especial or something.
 
Why can white people come in different shades and hues, but black people are limited to such a narrow range of skin tones with you?
Why should somebody that is half white be considered black and only black ? What is so especial about being it to make the individual to deny his white half anyways? It's like they are disrespecting their white families.
 
The media for Mariah carey say her as white when she came out and tried to hide her African ancestry, what are you talking about
Because perhaps she looks mostly white and that was why. But now she is regarded by black by many there.

There isn't much more diversity in skin tones among indigenous Eropeans than among indigenous Africans.

Portuguese people are some of the darkest Europeans, they're still unambiguously white.

It's much easier when you go along with the rest of the world and accept that there are blacks, whites and mixed people in between.

Two dark skinned people can have a child that is lighter than both of them. Genetics is a fickle thing, dude. Even sun exposure and environment affect color and also gene expression.

Yes, you googled a picture of white people and that came up, but a lived-in reality would reveal that you'll find people of varying skin tones in Europe and also throughout Africa with them having unmixed ancestry... Due to what I just said. You just need a larger population size to see it.

(P.S. Olive skinned white people are real)
