I've known plenty. I used to live in New York. Some may be "pro black." Most aren't. I've gotten into an argument with a Dominican girl who claimed that there were no Dominicans of African descent. The brother of the same chick almost came to blows with somebody who had the temerity to refer to Sammy Sosa as "a black man" in passing during a conversation about baseball.


Oh and on the subject of Sammy Sosa. Does this look "pro-black" to you?

Yup. Gotta be careful with that. I know a lot of West Indians who embrace their 'Blackness' as Americans, the difference is they love to point out that culture is more than Skin color.

The Caribbean is a big place. Several different islands, several different cultures. There is a huge distinction between people from English-speaking islands in the Caribbean and Spanish-speaking islands when it comes to embracing there blackness.


In Spanish speaking countries, the "one drop rule" works in reverse. People that would be considered "black" in the US, will almost never claim that they're black if they're mixed with something else.

BTW I've NEVER heard the Rock, Vin Diesel or Jeter describe themselves as Black.
I think deep down they see themselves as biracial, which they are.

The Rock an Jeter generally don't identify as a black, but they've acknowledged their black parents publicly. (Well, the Rock didn't really have a choice because his early wrestling career was built on being the first third generation wrestler in WWE.) However, Vin Diesel has never claimed to be black or biracial or acknowledged any black ancestry, so it's strange that any black people would be in a rush to claim him.

I don't really think she gives a F about what you believe. She was completely serious. Oh and just to really feed into it all. She's 100% Japanese and people think she's Samoan.

GL - obviously you aren't one of the many of us who grew up with the "what are you?" or having people come up talking to you various different languages expecting you to understand.
