I'm looking for even a hint of black in this photo and I can't find any.

Is black more elusive than we all thought? Or is "black" just a state of mind these days?


I'm not going to post their pics but I have cousins with blond hair and blue eyes who are part black. (this is still on my grandfather's side). They're all related to me by blood. Passing is a thing.


People are getting up in arms over people like Rachel Dolezal and Shaun King, but you'd be surpised by how many black people are passing as white.


Just watch Imitation of Life (the 1959 version).

This. I know several biracial people that pass as white. I have a little cousin that looks like Robin Thicke with blues. His mom is blonde and his dad is really light skinned.
