I’ve been seeing discourse about biracial people and how they shouldn’t identify as black but as mixed/ biracial so imma create a thread of prominent biracial people throughout history you can look up to and be proud to identify as biracial/mixed 💫🌟🌟🌈
DISCLAMER ‼️‼️ This tweet in no way is trying to promote colorism or the narrative that being biracial is inherently better than full black inviduals it’s simply to get biracial people more proud of our contributions and history and to be proud to identify as biracial
If y’all wanna add peeps go ahead but Kamayla Harris And Barack Obama are not in this thread because they’ve hurt the black community structurally and Barack did many things that can be considered crimes against humanity like drone strikes so he’s not in the thread 😑
