Arguably the biggest issue discussing race is race is a made up concept based on how far your ancestors lived from the equator and more and more how much you identify with the genetic features that gives you. So to define membership of a race is mostly a subjective concept. It was once encoded in law but for good or bad that is becoming much less frequent.Questioning people's blackness inevitably leads you down a rabbit hole
to making goofy arguments that reinforce stereotypes and oppression.
it's like the Sauron's ring in Lord of The Ring.
you think your using it but often times it is using you.
I did the unthinkable - clicked the comments section of her tweet...smh.Guess we now know which direction they lean. Wonder what was the final straw for her? The red flag laws for guns he passed? How about banning conversion therapy? The 12 weeks paid family leave and 12 weeks paid sick leave? No? I got it, it was the free breakfast & lunches for school kids! She's pathetic. We get it you're rich & feel entitled. Sorry Tim passed laws to help regular Minnesotans that don't have your $$$$
I think Black American describes the group better. An American with an Amazigh (North African) background would technically be African American, but they're not black.I would actually argue that the term “African American” better describes this ethnic group better than Black
Yeah that term would work too. I just think that the ethnic group needs its own name and most of the hostility toward membership with cease. It would also allow them to better formulate an argument for reparations. Though the best legal argument would require some sort of state action and ironically enough people who identify as other ethnicities today would be beneficiaries too. Race is way too broad to be questioned based on ethnic ties, but an ethnicity can be.I think Black American describes the group better. An American with an Amazigh (North African) background would technically be African American, but they're not black.
A lot of our racial classifications are rooted in 19th century race theories (pseudoscience) that just don't want to die. The discussion around blackness is mostly cultural, but because of these pseudoscientific concepts, we often conflate skin color with culture.
judging from that graphic, I think Kamala made this decisions at the last possible second.
no way anyone spent more than 5 mins on that.
As long as he’s taking it in stride and not salty, cool. Maybe next time.“you can’t reject me, I quit”
I can't decide whether to commend this or not.
dude is begging for biden to come back lmao
I don’t think that you could find a serious academic who believes that Blackness only would apply to Descendants of Slavery in the US or the colonies that would become the US.
