[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundjata: [QB] ^The problem with social constructs is that they're subjective, meaning the term "Blacks" and what it "includes" is never set in stone. Just look up the word "Mulatto". All mixed people clearly aren't considered Black and some can pass for "white", Hispanic, or "other". There was a segment on CNN recently, I believe from the show "[i]Black in America[/i]", which demonstrated this perfectly, so the two comments above are obviously not true, at least in any objective sense. A lot of it has to do with how one self-identifies as well. Indeed, Black is a term that is too easy to deconstruct which is why practical usage imo is warranted, unless one chooses to self-identify as Black, then of course I won't deny that right. Imposing labels on people however, doesn't help and only makes Black people look desperate. For example, when people got offended that Mariah Carey said that she wasn't Black or when Tiger Woods insisted that he wasn't Black because he didn't want to undermine his mother's contribution to his gene-pool. I mean, why get offended? If they say they aren't Black they aren't Black. It ain't like it was Malcolm X claiming he wasn't Black because of his white grandfather. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
