Yep, I'm so mulatto-phobic that I can't stand deeply tanned blonde beach babes.

We seem to be beginning yet another season of a perennially popular American spectacle, “How Much Is That Mulatto in the Window?” I frequently think that, after 400 years, this show is about to go off the air — jump the shark, as it were. But then it returns, with ever more absurd plot lines. Yet, even as a so-called mulatto myself, I can’t stop watching.
The Hollywood pitch goes something like this: Put a racially ambiguous Black person in the public eye — Kamala, Meghan, Barack. Have them declare themselves Black. Count down the minutes before the world erupts into outrage, distress and suspicion. People scream their confusion and doubt, accusing the figure of lying about who they really are. It makes for good TV.
On this week’s episode, Donald Trump got his cameo, accusing Vice President Kamala Harris of switching races. “She was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she became a Black person,” he said during an appearance in front of the National Association of Black Journalists. His staged bewilderment — implying that Ms. Harris was practicing some sort of sinister racial sorcery — felt wild for 2024, when mixed-race people are everywhere, visually overrepresented in Target commercials and Kardashian family reunions. Yet even in the midst of our fetishization, a stubborn strain of mulatto-phobia remains widespread. And no matter what answer we give to the ubiquitous question — What are you? — someone, somewhere, will accuse us of lying; of being a grifter trying to impersonate another race, a more real race.
Multiracial, mulatto, mixed-nuts, halfies: Whatever you want to call us today, we remain the fastest growing demographic in our country. When we enter the spotlight, we are often treated as specimens, there to be dissected,...

Nobody cares about someone’s degree of blackness except for black people who scrutinize the shades of other black people, as well as those who claim to be black but aren’t (Shaun King, Rachel Dolezal).
And also those who claim they are Asian then say they are black (Kamalaladingdong). Otherwise, nobody cares.
That is ONE woman probably in a pink pussy hat, you NEED TO SEE the thousands of Tic Toc videos of young people, black people, rappers, ect. all over Tic Toc loving Trump AND spreading the word!! I am telling you I have a new found hope, pay NO ATTENTION to the media hype and propaganda they have become irrelevant they are losing their grip on the control they USED TO HAVE!!! Far too many places now to get information and THANK GOD Elon purchased X!! Look how far we have come in just 4 years LOOK at all of the conservative sources and podcasts out there, entrepreneurs have put their fingers to the grindstone AND they have become very successful!! ANYONE still watching MSNBC, CNN, we will NEVER change their minds they are brainwashed sheep AND they are a shrinking breed!!
black, is a color, NOT a race/ethnicity... Camel is South Asian...
Love your enthusiasm!!!
Great point!
Yep, you’re so black, Danzy. (Wikipedia claims her father is black.)
Her father’s probably about as black as she is
Danzy and Kamala BOTH have lighter skin than me, and I’m white - I think. But if I met either on the street, I’d assume they were white. So they can shove their “I’m a poor little black girl in racist America” act up their very white looking rear ends!
Racial grifters and hucksters...
* K Harris
* Pocahontas Warren from Mass (the Senator)
* Rachel Dolezal
* Ward Churchill, Colorado
* And lots more
All conveniently “switching” to black or Indian (Kemo Sabe Indian) when it is opportune and gets them ahead.
The same people who claimed Trump sided with neo-Nazis and others provoking violence in Charlottesville when he simply said that there were good people on both sides of the debate over Civil War statues and memorials in public places. It really takes you aback how they manufacture these narratives that are so outlandishly petty and shallow in their premise.

I’m find that out the hard way
About 2.5 people in the last 10 days
Just angry in general and lashing out
One I will never have anything to do with ever again - I truly trusted this person too - at least as a consistent friendly acquaintance
Not again. Ever.
😳🙀😱
I’m finding that out the hard way
People who identify themselves by their race have no accomplishments or beliefs of their own.
One drop rule. Especially for democrats
.Jamaican is “African black”. There’s no difference in the origin of the black people of Jamaica vs the black people of the USA. Ultimately most of their ancestors, in either case, are West Africans.
Not a good take.
Better to call her Indian-Jamaican. That is likely to work better as there is no direct connection with the US black population, as there isn’t.
This person seems to be quite fixated on maintaining the old slaveowner “one-drop” rule. Sad in 2024.
You are forgetting that she has significant white ancestry, which her mixed-raced father has discussed. She really is significantly more Indian than black, and likely as much European (Irish and Anglo) as African, if not more. Her “black” identity really is pushed by U.S. political and social pressures/benefits rather than genetic or cultural reality.
