“ Just because there is one black man in the White House, doesn’t make up for the fact that there are one million black men in the Big House.
—

Angela Davis, speaking at Appalachian State University, January 24, 2012. (via douglass-forgot-the-chitterlings)

“Mixed” man in the White House,you mean? (his mother is white,I don’t know why people forget that) and if all you need to be considered “black” is a black father then we have a bunch of black people running around labeled as “mixed”.

(via thebeautifulconcept)

He says he’s black, and yeah, historically all you needed was one black parent…but man, fuck the history, you can’t tell that man, who claims his blackness fully, who marks himself Black, that he’s not black. 

We don’t decide his identity. He does. But people forget that, right?

^ This. 

(via deliciouskaek)

^THIS. He’s black. America won’t let him forget it and he doesn’t deny it. “White” folks are African too, but that’s a WHOLE other topic. It should actually be a book. Oh wait, there are already books and research on it. Carry on.
