Mixed race people in the UK are acknowleged as a race in their own right.How does that differ in the USA and how does that impact on mixed raced identity.

Over here they are just considered black which in my opinion is wrong. Tiger Woods has refused to accept this label and insisted on recognizing his other races. Obama is mixed yet everyone calls him black. The Jim Crow one drop rule was supposed to have ended but ignorant people keep applying it today even though it was created to allow white slave owners from supporting their slave raped children. I don't understand why so many blacks today insist on keeping it alive. Some probably believe it shows off Black Pride but all it manages to do is create more ignorance and intolerance.

i think of you may desire to incorporate the undeniable fact that we live in an extremely distinctive, globalized society now. Black human beings can combination with the different race they choose. i do no longer remember any regulations that limit them from doing so interior the twentieth century. Plus you calling out Alyssa became very immature and recommend. She's a extremely smart and proud female, as all and sundry might desire to be approximately their identity.

Race and colour are actually superficial rubbish. Humans will always find a way of being better than the next person. My test is that if you put a group of "like" people in a tank of poo, there is always an idiot who says , "Look the poo only comes up to my chest! Ha ha ha ha....Shorties!"



Race is in the mind. It is still ,"Yes sir." if someone waves the greenback. Take Obama, he may be black but if he becomes Pres, how many white people will be glad to kiss his rear.

Did anyone say rear?



so I say its full of cr*p.

the reason why blacks are still black even if they are mixe goes back to slavery when the master had sex with slaves and the babies were born into slavery and it therefore made a people mixed with black and so called blacks become one racial group and as these two group mated as well with more whites and made black people less african than the ones who arrived as slaves.
