[CULTDIAMONDS]

I was inspired by the thread about Whiteness to make this one. Also it's been a topic that's come up a lot on this forum lately.

Who is a Black person? What does it mean to be Black? Who gets to decide? Does the one drop rule definite who's Black or not? Is Black a social group? Why do some people hate being black so much? Should Black only be equal to Negroid? Is a tamil Indian Black? Does someone changing the definition of black actually change what it means to be black? If someone practices "black culture" does it mean there black? What is "Black culture" is it only listening to Hip-Hop/RNB? Does an quadroon who practices "Black culture" Blacker than someone who is 100% Black and practices "white culture"? What if everyone was seen as Black or no one was? Would it change anything really? Is it really that bad to be Black? If so does the broadening of the term higher any of its perceived value? Just questions to get the topic going you don't necessary have to answers them it will be welcome if you did though.

To me Black in the New world context should be someone who is at least 70% SSA. For the old world some who is from West-Central Africa or Negroid parts of Africa.
