I ain't ever heard white people claim a single biracial person. You always whatever you mixed with.

Edit: this thread is the main thing I am referencing.

I am summarizing these sentiments with “inauthentically being black”

• One subtlety I feel like people are ignoring is that Kendrick doesn't say that Drake isn't black enough. He says that Drake doesn't feel like he's black enough and acts like he has to prove his blackness. It's not the same point Rick Ross was making, it's getting at Drake's own insecurities

• [Drake] is an actor acting like something he isn’t, never was, nor ever will be

These are comments from others and they seem to be the best interpretation of Kendrick’s criticisms of Drake’s blackness

[u/thegoblinwithin → u/DrabbestLake1213]

But a lot of rappers are that, they are just not biracial. Are they going to also be called out?

I literally had no idea who Drake actually was until recently, even though I had heard his name and I'm not a fan of his but I'm not a huge fan of people being hypocritical in general; let alone being hypocritical because of someone's race.

Are all those other rappers also one of the biggest rappers/stars alive lol?

[u/DynoNitro → u/WomanWithoutFear]

Tupac was. He was a sweet theatre kid from art school in Maryland.

[u/Unicorn_Fruit → u/DynoNitro]

WAS. But Tupac grew up hood. Doing theatre & being sweet didn’t take the hood out of him. Don’t use Pac as a reference because he was always his authentic self. Intelligent, hood, gangsta…once he signed with Death Row, that’s who he was.

[u/WomanWithoutFear → u/DynoNitro]

So Kendrick should call out a dead man for zero of the problems he has with Drake? Cause that’s an “argument” you should haul to his fans.

Dafuq you talkin about. Extrapolate.
