it depends, there is no definite line, but a gradual scale.. You know black person when you see them... Yes, those Jews most certainly looked Black...
$.02 There is a reason why none of the people said they were black in your previous post...You made the mistake of telling them that those people were Jews... As we all know Jesus was a Jew, and if there are black Jews Jesus could have very well been a Black man... And if Jesus was God incarnate then............hmmm, ERR, ugh, scratch that those Jews are NOT BLACK!!!! LOL

When people have to ask if you are black or white, then you are probably black, unless the dark complexion if from a different ethnicity. It seems that if you are black and white, then by definition you are considered black, but I don't know why.

Good question. A very hard one to answer, given the inconsistencies in classifying ethnicity in the U.S.

I think it is a personal choice. People can tell you what you are classified as, but you do not have to accept it. You are who or what you choose to be.

Ask white folks. They seem to hold the barometer on that!

I think it's about heritage and ancestry, not the amount of melanin in your skin.

I think you are what you consider yourself to be.
