W.E.B. Dubois was mulatto and Marcus Garvey was a dark skin black

Mulattoes and blacks will never get along to a satisfactory degree and mulattoes need to have their own category separate from blacks.

They get along just fine in many countries.

They get along fine in many other countries because socially they are recognized and accepted as mulattoes. Wherefore, in America there is a one drop blood rule that just unfortunately labels anyone with one drop of black blood black. Many other countries don’t have this, so it is easier to a mulatto and socially accepted as mulatto, but not in America. In America people see that you are different but still put you in the black race, unless you are Latino black.

Not necessarily, many do adopt other terms other than Black, but many adopt Black as well. It is just not imposed.

G-man said: People who are black and opposed to mulattos getting their own category wouldn't get along any better with mulattos (or people who describe themselves that way) once they get official recognition than they do now.

Response: That is true but the advantage for the mulattoes would be that they are free to move on with out blacks. Therefore work on their own culture, politics, educations, society, etc like Latinos. The freedom to be your own with out having to answer to certain black leaders and deal with all of the problems that torment black America, mulattoes can focus on their own up building.

Now people who describe themselves as mulattoes I look at it like this -- if you are looking very different then blacks or whites or some other ethnic group then none should claim you -- you should be allowed to create your own ethnic category and work on your groups development. One of the major problems for blacks is that they have too many mulattoes and various genetically non African black looking people among them. This just keeps the feeling or inferiority about not having light skin and that entire crap going. Then inferior feeling persons want to take their anger and frustrations out on somebody. Usually other blacks and mulattoes are the innocent victims. They need to be separated like they are considered different groups in many other countries

Would you be equally offended if "White" people considered American "Mulattos" "White"?

I ask because I've heard this kind of argument from disgruntled American "Mulattos" before and the underlining complaint by all of them who had your arguing points, was they hated being considered "Black", but they never complained when someone thought they were "Latino/a", "Middle Eastern"/Persian, Italian, Greecian, etc. You only hear about them complaining when someone defines them as simply "Black". Basically, it seems to me that most disgruntled American "Mulattos" are happy being classified and/or mistaken as any other ethnic group and/or nationality except for "Black" American. Neutral

Side note: IMO, just because someone assumes you are "Black" doesn't mean they think you have no other ethnic bloodline ancestry in your DNA makeup. It just means that the African traits show up more to the observer so socially they see you as "Black" but that doesn't prove anything genetically or culturally. If they (the observer) discriminate against you because they see you as simply "Black", then screw them because they aren't worthy to be your friend in the first place. Their loyalty or hospitality relies on whether or not you have visible, recent "Black" admixture or if you are a pure "WASP", IMO. Either way, they aren't sh*t in my opinion for doing that. I'm just saying...

The Basis of it all

I don't separate "Mulattoes" from "other" or regular blacks, unless we are differentiating in the physical appearance department. Other than that i think any attempt to diminish blacks to help arise the mulatto is futile.

Just as it may give a feeling of deprivation by being lumped with blacks of misfortune, that same shame should apply to being akin to whites who carry a superiority complex etc.

have fun, this board looks boring

I saw that video clip and those people are arab looking the only thing that showed that they had some black ancestry was that the hair was a mixed black and arab hair combined. Outside of that these people had brownish yellow skin like arabs and looked totally different from blacks with dark skin and caramel skin. These people are are lighter than the moors who conquered Spain, and a moor was a person who was part black and part arab. You are just following the phony fake one drop blood rule, and trying to place this one drop blood rule on the Lemu arab tribe in this skip gates (Henry Louis Gates jr.) video. These Lemu arabs have some black ancestry but looking way more arab than black. You are putting the one drop blood rule on them, nothing more.

Frank sweet is Puerto Rican he may in his back ground some where had black ancestry but he looks white totally, so is Frank the owner of onedropbloodrule.org a black man?

The reason mulattoes and light skin people in America who have some black ancestry keep having people mistake them for Latinos, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and other ethnic groups is because people can see they are mixed. Blacks just want to keep these mulattoes with them for various humiliating reasons. Also, Sankofa you are simply going by the phony fake one drop blood rule nothing more, what looks black to you is not a black person in the eyes of Latinos and other ethnic groups. Even Africa does not consider mulattoes official members of the black race. This is why you have coloureds in Africa. The coloureds look less mixed than American mulattoes and light skinned ones. Many backs feel oppressed and want mulattoes to feel the same way. Long ago mulattoes in America were considered coloreds and the America courts considered blacks and mulattoes different ethnic groups. Blacks and whites did consider mulattoes different too.

Let us all go back to what once was. Many blacks hate their dark and caramel skin tones especially dark skin blacks. If blacks considered mulattoes blacks then why do they call them mulattoes, light skin, mutts, and other names? Why not just call them blacks? Because they know that mulattoes are another ethnic group. Also mulattoes if they are called white well they are part white, no one gets upset when mulattoes are called black. And, they are neither fully black nor white, so why not start calling them white. I say give them back their separate category. Some blacks hate being black and are jealous because they can’t pass for something else.

@ Salsassin

Because I saw the video with gates and the Lemu, the Lemu religious leader was interviewed by gates, and the Lemu leaders son or grandson translated from english into what ever language the Lemu leader spoke.

Your right there is a lot of variety in there look at some of these people, and at the same time they look mixed.
