From a commenter on quora on the question if Mariah Carey is Black.

In America she would be classified as “Black “ but if you look at her without knowing her history then you would think she's white.

It's a complicated but personally coming from a mixed family myself being mixed Indian and white even though I look more white than Indian I would still say Im Indian so I guess Mariah considers herself black.

it was the write-up by columnist, Kelvin Mackenzie, which caused the most uproar as he compared Barkley to a “gorilla at the zoo”.

Anderson hinted that Mackenzie was fully aware of Barkley’s Nigerian roots, which could explain the racist taunt.

From an article of a racist abuse of Ross Barkley.

Growing up watching lots of Black entertainment news and shows, I have always known the mixed raced guys were not exempted from racial abuse or seen as black.

Even though Barkley is mixed, especially to the racists, he is black in their eyes.

Even in Britain, Barkley is seen as white; this includes people who just recently find out about his black ancestry.

The one drop rule was used in the US to keep the white gene pool pure, as blacks were seen as diseased and abnormal. Then, even octoroons, i.e people with just one great grand parent were forced to identify as black, failure to follow this rule attracted severe penalty.

That rule has never been practiced outside of the US, so i wonder where some non-Americans are learning from. Besides, these days, a lot of Black Americans do not believe in it; they're always so quick to point out anyone who looks very white, but claim to be black...there, half black/half white people are mostly still seen as black, though.

I don't think the Bulgarians saw anyone in that English team as one of them.

Racists abhor people of their race who mix up with others, just as much as they abhor the other races, sometimes even more.

Worst of all was people they consider blacks on the field. Definitely, those Bulgarians do not consider Ross Barkley white.

FIFA to pay Uzoho's wages for Six Months

FIFA will step in to pay Francis Uzoho wages throughout his six-month injury term.

The GK suffered a fracture of the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) & meniscus of his knee while in action for Nigeria against Brazil in an international friendly recognised by FIFA, and is thus eligible for the compensation policy put up by FIFA to protect clubs who lose players on FIFA Grade A international duty.

I tell you...especially when you're privileged to work in places like TOTAL E&P, NLNG etc...

the salary and job benefits for a GT from this place... is more than the average turn over for most Nigeria business...let alone a manager....

someone like Bab omotowa who rose from being a management trainee at NLNG to being the global vice president shell @ Netherlands now.... just don't wanna imagine his salary...

He totally denied that that was what he meant, saying Barkley even looked 'whiter' than him, he also denied that he had any idea of Barkley's black ancestry.

What makes you so convinced that Anderson was so sure of what he said?... I am very sure of this: British people generally see Barkley and people of like ancestry, who also just look white, example Ryan Giggs, as white. This might not include some family members whose mixed features are apparent.

Maybe they consider him an abomination. Not black, not white.

This is in respect to racism. Keep in mind in the past, the white racists did not want their kids whether boy or girl having children with the Africans.

So a child from a mixed breed would be considered a n***r child. That is the same thing playing out. It is the black in them that carries the term.

u are right. During apartheid in South Africa, coloured people were considered illegitimate .. because sexual relationships between whites and blacks were prohibited ..
