Patrick Mahomes may not be Black enough for most Black people, or any other people.
In
popular American culture, and definitely not politically conservative
public schools, I assume there is rarely a discussion of the social
construct of race. Also a
discussion of words like miscegenation, mulatto, quadroon, octoroon and the concept of the one drop rule.
As this pertains to African Americans,
don't get me to start talking about African American (Black) self-hate
and distrust. A subject that should be discussed in public because I
believe it is one reason why lower income African American neighborhoods
struggle.
In this modern era Patrick Mahomes and any human being that has even a smidgen of Black Sub-Saharan African genetics can be as Black, or non Black (African American) as they want to be.
