Reply #65: Attempts at acceptance on what level? There may be a few [View All]

[Fire1]

who are accepted as 'white' only because they can PASS for white. I have never ever known or heard of a black person with brown or even light brown to yellow pigmentation even attempting to be adopted. Even Michael Steele isn't THAT stupid or delusional. Lighter or brown skinned blacks may be more TOLERABLE now days as peers, in the work place and the occasional friendship or in-law situation but there is still skepticism with regards to the intrinsic value of those relationships even among the black people involved. They are never truly themselves and really don't have a hellava lot in common with the white community.

There is NO segment of ANY WHITE COMMUNITY that will 'adopt' a black person who cannot be recognized as anything other than black! How do you know that Pres. Obama was 'accepted' by any other white people besides his immediate family? "Embracing the ways of the white community." Prejudice, racism and bigotry are the "ways of the white community" to a very large extent. OTHER ways that are of far greater significance, such as values, ideology,etc., can be just as easily obtained from the black community. So, WHY, would he or any other black person seek to be adopted or accepted by a community to which he/she does not belong?? That suggestion gets lost in obscurity.
