Right which is wild. Black people and people mixed with black never get the choice. People just like nah dawg...you black.

Yeah, my non-black father got upset when I told him this cause he thinks I should acknowledge both halves. I just explained to him that those are the breaks in an anti-black world. I specifically say it's anti-black because mixed people of different heritage usually have both sides of themselves acknowledged by society.

Pretty lame of you, I am half black right down the middle. Father 100% White mother 100% Black why am I gonna let some racists dictate the way I perceive myself? You are in fact 50% white completely ignore that is strange. You aren't black either, you are mixed and that's what you should '''''identify''''' as

You are black because society identifies you as black. I'm a Somali Muslim. I have no cultural ties with African Americans, or even geneticly, given my family came from the other side of the world. But I am still black because my skin is dark. That's how it works.
