Identify as Black/white?

So imo she gets to choose. Is that what she's done?

What's Barack Obama, black or white?

In America Black blood no matter how small a percentage is the dominant factor. It was once black letter law, but is still the unwritten law. Obama is a Black man in America, mixed race in some other countries but never white. 🫥

Both. He could just as easily identify as white if he wanted.

Then the question becomes one of melanin or DNA. San Bushmen have the oldest DNA. Everyone else is a hybrid to some degree. Everyone has African DNA. We all could easily identify as black using that metric.

Melanin would be interesting. Many shades. Can someone identify as artificial orange?

"Allowed to"? What do you mean by that?

Not a good choice of words... I mean should people be screaming at you for not agreeing that a black person that identifies as white... is white?

People should not be screaming at me.

Can a white person identify as black and should society accept this? Can a black person identify as white?

What are your thoughts?

Only if they are also Liberals.

Okay, so this thread is about Apache Liberals who scream at white people who identify as black people and/or scream at foods that identify as peanut butter? Does that about sum it up?

I trust that the soft spoken Inuit are watching all this go down from a safe distance, and quietly nodding.

There's a joint nearby that puts it on a burger. Still deciding if it's worth $15 to find out if it's any good.

This has become an unusual thread... the unifying theme is self-identifying, screaming, peanut butter and the Inuit...

There is some cinematic universe potential here.

What kind of potential I have no idea.
