Your identity is whichever race you chose to be. Halle Berry chose to be called a black woman.
I'm mixed too, but I think I'm more biased to the asian half of my personality. When I was younger, i thought of myself as white.
The same can be said about white people. I'm sure everybody's mixed with a little something, the way I see it is if the you don't have a significant amount of non-black blood then you're black.
Edit: btw, I'd like for you to prove that the people the first answerer named are mixed.
you have a point...almost every Black person from the U.S., Caribbean and Latin America is mixed to a degree. The average black person is about 20-25% white.
Your condescending tone is unnecessary considering how unbelievably obtuse the question is.
Google search genotypes, phenotypes, quadroon/octoroon; compartmentalize those terms and then reintroduce them into the gen. pop. of that feeble little mind of yours and then ask the question again.
50 cent, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Sean Combs (puff daddy), Gabrielle Union.
There are pleanty of black people in the US. What the hell, how can black people not be black?? Im mixed race (black Jamacian and english) do you mean everybody is mixed race like me??
Well, Akon is straight from West Africa, so there is a chance that he is not mixed.
I really don't completely understand your question but I do know that Blacks in America are black under the U.S. definition, but if you go to parts of Africa where all the people are straight-up black or very dark skinned, than they will think of us more as "mixed" instead of black. (Which is what we are, because many black people mixed with whites and some mixed with natives, so "African Americans" are a mixed race ethnic group.)
