This is an excellent question. For me, unless biracial, i think i lean towards the latter. Features too
But that’s my point how much do we regard ancestry of a person compared to their current experience in regards to being black? Do they get a pass even if they don’t fit the mold of what’s considered black off of ancestry alone?https://twitter.com/___d0minique/status/1023226765488087051 …

Why so?
-
Because for example, grizzly’s grandmother is Native American but it’s not a part of his experience
-
That’s not what I mean by ancestry though. I’m speaking of folks who have to go generations and generations and generations back to damn near slavery to find that blackness. Ancient origins.

Oh right, well that’s even wor——well, even more far removed. I don’t wanna say they don’t get a pass but i don’t necessarily/readily regard them as such off the strength

right. her mom would be non black passing if not for the hair giving her away lol. so i can say she may have struggled with discrimination from other (non black) latinos bc of it, but other than that, she hasn’t had the majority of the struggles of a visibly black woman.

i’m just saying in a case like hers, where a black feature IS visible to me, i personally wouldn’t find offense in her id’ing as afro latina, despite her lighter skin tone.
