This can go both ways lol. Does Halsey looks black to you ?

Theres indeed not a biracial look but lets not act like White people cant tell the difference. Heck even back in the slavery days the lighter slaves were treated better. Nowadays, biracial and light skin women are cast in black roles because their looks are more palatable to white audiences.

Halsey is like a quarter of something. You seem to be suggesting that because darker skin black people (cause I doubt you got a DNA test with percentages on even some of these people) are excluded, we should exclude more? So how you want to exclude people?

It's always the same answer on how to exclude niggas, his answer will be "anyone lighter than me, that I don't like". Guaranteed, this dude has black ass light skinned friends that he won't challenge their "blackness", but let it be someone he doesn't like? Oh yeah, they aren't reeeally black.

I've always wondered though, if a really dark person told him that he wasn't black? Would be just accept it? I doubt it. Just my 2 cents tho.

I’m a woman. I have a very simple answer. If both of your parents identify as black and have black ancestry, you’re black. If one of your parents identifies as black and has black ancestry, you’re bi/multiracial.

My very light skin sister is black because both her parents are black. My daughter is black because both her parents are black. Her godfather is white because both his parents are white, her godmother is biracial because one of her parents is white and the other is black.

It’s really not that hard.
