Now to somewhat address this team light skin/biracial vs team dark skin as it relates to Purely African’s comments, when I first started my blog and podcast, damn near every piece of content I created was going in relentlessly about white people and white supremacy. So the people who make comments questioning how come I don’t talk about white people since I’m half white, well, I actually have a way bigger library of talking about white people and white supremacy than I do of talking about black people’s bs but, it’s just not up on YouTube…it’s on my blog. So if you want to read my old blogs or listen to my old podcasts, feel free to do so. But one thing that noticed before I began to make my shift to talking about the bs black people do is how when I was talking non-stop about white people and white supremacy, every black person who either read my blogs or listened to my podcasts swore I was the blackest thing alive, despite them knowing I’m biracial. Meaning, they had absolutely no issues with my “blackness” when I was turning up on white folks, but the minute I started calling out black people’s bs then all of a sudden the, “YOU’RE BIRACIAL, YOU’RE A MULATTO….GO BE WITH YOUR MULATTO PEOPLE…TALK ABOUT MULATTO ISSUES…blah blah blah!”, that stuff came out with the quickness. Let my content switch back to strictly talking about white people and white supremacy, the one’s who want to kick me out of black society will the very first ones preventing me from leaving by one drop ruling me to death. You know, the same way they one drop rule every mulatto or biracial out there. Now I’ve talked about this before, but the reason why they will one drop rule us to death is because no matter how much they may claim to despise me for being biracial (as if I had a choice in the matter), they don’t want to see us biracials getting a leg up on non-mixed black people in any shape or form. They want everybody to reside in the bucket of blackness right along side of them. Some biracials don’t mind in being strictly in the bucket of blackness, some of us want no parts of being in the bucket of blackness and some of us will come down to kick it with those who can’t escape the bucket of blackness for a few hours then hop our asses out the bucket to see what those light skin/biracial privileges are hitting for these days. Point is, we have options that the rest of you don’t and the fact that we have options is why so many of you want us to be seen strictly as black, so as long as we don’t talk smack about blackness…then y’all want to kick us out. When they attempt to kick us out and they see we may get a few privileges here and there that they can’t get, then they want to try to snatch us back down. Basically, it’s just a never ending cycle the non-mixed negro population goes through. Funny thing is, a lot of them who want to kick us out one day and then snatch us back the next day, they act like they are really in control of the scenario, but fact of the matter is, us biracials, especially those of us who are light skin like me, control the narrative because we’ve always known since our youth in some shape or form that we can blend in the non-mixed black population like it’s nothing and then run over to mixed race light skin land and chop it up over there. For those of us who grew up around mostly white people, we fit in fine over there too. We may not be white, but I guarantee the overwhelming vast majority of us really aren’t dealing with too many issues from the whites like the non-mixed black population may deal with. Take Colin Kaepernick for instance, if he decided to walk back every he ever word he said about police brutality and he apologized for kneeling, white society would welcome him back with open arms like nothing ever happened. This is just reality folks and for people who are not mixed trying to tell me different, well you’ve never experienced life as a biracial. You all think you know white people, well I’m here to tell you, we know white people probably better than you considering those of us who are mulattos, we’re half white our damn selves. For those of us who grew up around mostly white people, they are the experts out of the group. I didn’t grow up around mostly white people but I know a few who did and I see first hand what takes place. Now I said all of this to say, you can fantasize about kicking me out all day, but like most things when it comes to the progression of black society as a whole, as the great urban philosopher by the name of Christopher Wallace (Notorious B.I.G.) once said, “IT WAS ALL A DREAM”, meaning, it’s just a fantasy that you all know you have absolutely zero control over. You know it, I know it, the whole world knows it. Sure you’ll get on social media and do your hardest to convince people otherwise, but offline, we all know what’s taking place and what’s taking place is, non-mixed black Americans, especially non-mixed American DOS stay losing in everything for the most part. Even the stuff non-mixed black people appear to be winning in, like sports and entertainment, non-mixed DOS stay losing because at the end of the day, hardly any non-mixed blacks (if any at all) are signing any checks of significance. You’re just not.
