Keyshia Cole's race problem

From www.rhymeswithsnitch.com
I am not so much in the loop with pop culture these days as I'm on a TV diet.

However I listened to Power98 FM this morning and learned that Keyshia Cole is not Black.

As you can see from the quote in the pic from www.rhymeswithsnitch.com, Keyshia didn't technically say she is not Black. She said she's biracial.

Keyshia's biological mom, Frankie, said Keyshia's dad is Italian. But Keyshia has never met her father, nor is her paternity a certainty as her mom abused drugs and had multiple partners for years.

Keyshia was raised by a Black family in Oakland.

Some are blasting Keyshia because of her comment. Race is a touchy subject. Can a person choose the race he or she wants? Or must he/she accept what others perceive him/her as?


WHY CAN'T KEYSHIA BE BIRACIAL IF SHE WANTS TO BE?

The ONLY way Keyshia Cole could be "Black"
is via the racist-'One-Drop Rule' (which
was created by racial-supremacists
in order to degrade BLACK lineage
and banned in the U.S. in 1967).

This means that any BLACK person who
supports the black-lineage degrading'
/ racist-'One-Drop Rule' either has no
self-esteem, is insane or is an idiot.
.
THERE IS absolutely NO SUCH THING AS A
so-called 'LIGHT-SKINNED BLACK' person.

The LINKS in the SIDEBAR of my YouTube
CHANNEL explain this in greater detail.

More people need to realize and accept the fact
that THERE IS actually NO SUCH THING AS
A so-called "LIGHT-SKINNED BLACK" person
... but rather ... such individuals and groups are
actually people who are of a 'Multi-Generational
Multiracially-Mixed' (MGM-Mixed) Lineage
that some may have been pressured or
encouraged to ignore or downplay.

People of Mixed-Race lineage should NOT
feel pressured to 'identify' according to
any standards other than one's own.

The legal -application of the racist-'One-Drop Rule'
(ODR) was banned in the U.S. way back in 1967.

Listed below are related Links of 'the facts' of the histories
of various Mixed-Race populations found within the U.S.:

There is no proof that a 'color-based slave hierarchy'
(or that 'color-based social-networks') ever existed
as common entities -- within the continental U.S.

It was the 'Rule of Matriliny (ROM) --
[a.k.a. 'The Rule of Partus' (ROP)] -- and
NOT the racist-'One-Drop Rule' (ODR) --
that was used to 'create more enslaved
people' on the continental U.S.
.
This is because the chattel-slavery system that was
once found on the antebellum-era, continental U.S.
was NOT "color-based" (i.e. "racial") -- but rather
-- it was actually "mother-based" (i.e. 'matrilineal').

There were many ways (and not solely the sexual assault
and sexual exploitation of the women-of-color) in which
'white' lineage entered the familial bloodlines of
enslaved-people found on the continental U.S.

So a light skinned person cannot choose to identify with being Black? That's interesting....

But would not your philosophy work to do the same thing as the one drop rule in reverse?

@ Cm Writer:
.
At NO point ANYWHERE in my
posting is the phrase of --
"a light skinned person cannot
choose to identify with being
Black" found nor is it implied.
.
Thus -- I neither appreciate your
misquoting me nor your attempts
at misrepresenting my information.
.
Since you seem to have difficulty
understanding what I wrote I will
make an additional posting with
the hopes that you will actually
read thru it prior to making any
ASSumptions about it's actual point.

GOOD for Keyshia Cole -- for PUBLICLY
ACKNOWLEDGING AND EMBRACING the
FACT that SHE IS of MULTI-RACIAL
/ MIXED-RACE Parentage-Lineage !!!!
.
http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/Generation-Mixed/message/3930
.
.
And -- ANYONE who has a PROBLEM with this
FACT regarding Keyshia Cole’s FULL ancestry
can feel free to take note of the following ...
.
The ONLY way that Keyshia Cole could be
considered as racially "Black" is via adhering
to the racist-'One-Drop Rule' (which is a
non-scientific social-construct that was
created by racial-supremacists in order
to degrade BLACK lineage and which
was also banned within the U.S. in 1967).

[[[The FACT that the 'One-Drop Rule'
is a racist and 'Black-lineage degrading'
social-construct means that ... any
BLACK person who supports it either
has no self-esteem, is insane or is inane.]]]
.
.
THERE IS absolutely NO SUCH THING AS A
so-called 'LIGHT-SKINNED BLACK' person.

I didn't misquote you. I didn't quote you at all. I asked a question. All of the extra point making was unnecessary. Did your comment not say "There is no such thing as a light skinned black person"?

If your intent is to promote your message about mixed races being ignored, I can understand...but I would ask that you:
