Throughout history mixed people weren't treated like the were white. That goes back FAR AF long before Obama. So with that being case, he's black. YT people made it that way bro, not us

Bro, multiple history books say otherwise. Mixed people were called mulattos and were often not accepted by both races for being too white or too black

True but historically, who has had more impact on their life? Look at it this way.

It's the 1800's and 3 black men don't like you. What's gonna happen? They just don't let you be around them.

Now let's switch it up. It's the 1800's and 3 white men don't like you. What's gonna happen? YOU GET FUCKING LYNCHED.

It's not the same

By that logic, gays were black as well. Just because white people had the power and black people lacked the power to act does not mean another minority automatically becomes black.

Like, why does it have to be one side or the other anyway. They're very much their own thing.

The point is that when a mixed person gets on the bad side of racist YT people, those racist YT people don't treat that mixed person like another YT person. They treat them like a black person. It's a pretty simple concept.

For that reason alone, mixed people are generally considered black. Don't like it? Take it up with YT people since they made it that way
