  Black has become a commercialized brand that black people don't even own.

  Why is it so hard to understand the “one drop rule” was perpetuated to distinguish who was white, not who was black.

  We should also discuss the why behind Black people wanting to claim these people so badly.

  This is why I say I&apos;m Black Full-Time bc there is no room on the planet I can walk into and be seen as something else. Half of these people are Black per-Diem lol

  I’m so tired of arguing with people about the one drop rule that I’m giving up. <br><br>It’s like our own people don’t find it weird and alarming that people that are visibly ambiguous and only 25% black are wanting to represent ALL Black people and it’s insane! Wanting to claim everyone is not helping us, no other community does this for us!

  The gag is, the actual Afrolatinos in South America or the Caribbean (Cuba, DR, PR) aren&apos;t even using that term. We call ourselves black. I&apos;ve been black my whole life and didn&apos;t even hear of this term &quot;Afrolatino&quot; until 2017/18, on the internet mind you. And once people like Fat Joe and Gina Rodriguez started using it, I knew it wasn&apos;t for me.

  People want to engage in the &apos;fun parts&apos; of our culture, like saying the n word, using a blaccent, being super expressive, our music etc. But only from a place where they don&apos;t have to deal with the ugly parts of living life as a black person!! ‼️
