1. I am a man.
2. My father was black and my mother was white. I identify myself as black because I am. So is he.
He might appear black , but I think he is a Indonesian, more so than a American.
I checked “Other” and wrote in “American.”
What’s a census form?
He lived in Indonesia, that didnt change his lineage. His father was Kenyan which, as you know, is in Africa. He's black.
But FRiend, that is an emotional statement. The census is about biological reality. If you were to have a child with a white woman, your child would most likely have quite fair skin, and the shape of his or her features may or may not appear African. That would be a biological result, no matter how you feel.
Example: Here is the actress Victoria Rowell, on the right, whose father was black and mother was white. The young woman on the left is her biological daughter, Maya, whose father is white.
Culturally, he is a foreigner. Not an American.
For his appearance he is mulatto. An African would call him “light” or “bright” or plain, old fashioned mulatto. Probably ask whats wrong with him.
Everyone including himself positioned him as “post”racial. My point is both he and many many people are the opposite and the furthest thing from the truth. He aint even American.
What census needs to do if they want to know statistics on the black /white community is amend their form for the inclusion of mulatto. There are more than enough to warrant the change.
So, he’s lied once again.
And what type of "African" would that be? Ive yet to visit Africa so I have no personal experience of how the people there would view me or someone like me. But I do know Africa is a large continent hosting a myriad of peoples. Khoisans, and Berbers for example are light-skinned yet are indigenous to the continent of Africa. They are Africans.
As for skin color, black can range from light brown to nearly black. Youre free of course to call Hussein anything youd like. But, as I've already stated, he and I share a similar lineage. I know I am black as is he.
The perennial affirmative action hire that has accomplished nothing in his life.
