[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] the thread asks are Indians "Blacks" ? It's an impossible question to answer because the term "black" means differnt things to different people. Some Indians have dark skin and have been subjected to prejudice due to it. Should they be regarded as "black" ? "Black" is a term that gets imposed on dark skinned people by some light skinned people. The dark skinned person then is faced with accepting the term or not. Some may say o.k. I accept the term "black" and hope they can ally with other people that get called "black" as a power base. Many Indians have dark skin similar to Africans but they also have differences in appearance in many cases. So in recognizing that many have dark skin do they want to identify with Africans from Africa and people of African ancestry who live in other parts of the world? There could be an advantage in doing this if it could add to a larger group of people to oppose a group that sometimes oppresses them on the basis of skin color. However, there are more considerations involved in such alliances because once you make an alliance you have to cooperate and share resources in other areas when you are not actively engaged in countering racism. So the different groups will weigh the advantages and disadvantages in allying with another group. [/QB][/QUOTE]
