    IMO based on the experience of some my mullatto friends, many issue arise more from how their parents influence ther identity more anything else

    Those who came from stable homes seem to be straight (like most people)


    The only thing that I feel sorry for is that many mullattos must share the same complextion as the sensitive light skin ?

    That must be hard

    So what constitutes being a "mulatto"? Do you have to have a black parent and a "insert race" parent, or do you just have to have folks from another race somewhere in your family tree?

    A Mulatto is a person with a white parent and a black parent.

    Going extra hard on mulattoes because they got that privilege like the OGs say, not mixed ? with no white in them we go regular hard on them like pure nigras but mulattoes get the extra gorilla treatment.

    I've seen a few tragic mulattos. Once when I was in an Africana Studies class a dude was a mulatto and he was talking about looking different at family reunions and BBQs with the white family members but fitting in perfectly at the black ones.

    I would imagine its how they were brought up. If you are brought up as the black sheep (no pun intended) then you develop that "tragic mullatto" mentality.

    sounds like a few prominent mulattos need to step up and rep for who they are instead of just piggybacking on another team. because thats how they are viewed.

    how does one know that someone is mullatto and not just light-skinned
    parentage, that's what separates a Chris brown/Common from a J.Cole/Drake .
    J. Cole was just light skin ? until it was discovered his moms was white, and he became biracial.
    Jada N Will kids are just light skinned. but had either Will or Jada been white, then the kids would of been mulatto.

    Mulattos may also be an admixture of Native American, South American native and African Americans according to Henings Statutes of Virginia 1705, which reads as follows: "And for clearing all manner of doubts which hereafter may happen to arise upon the construction of this act, or any other act, who shall be accounted a mulatto, and it is hereby enacted and declared, That the child of an Indigenous and the child, grand child, or great grand child, of a ? shall be deemed, accounted, held and taken to be a mulatto.

    there's black people that's born naturally light skin from a dark skin parent. Like a lot of these Red bone ? that ? fall over for are those naturally light skin ? , they ain't mixed with anything else most of the time.
