[toluco]

[Horus]

Gamboa looks Black to me. He's just not African or African-American. But what do I know?

Who is African American or BLACK?

Since 1977, the United States officially classified black people (revised to black or African American in 1997) as A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. Other Federal offices, such as the United States Census Bureau and the adheres to the OMB standards on race in its data collection and tabulations efforts.The U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation also categorizes black or African-American people as "A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa" through racial categories used in the UCR Program adopted from the Statistical Policy Handbook (1978) and published by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, U.S. Department of Commerce derived from the 1977 OMB classification.

Due in part to a centuries-old history within the United States, historical experiences pre- and post-slavery, and migrations throughout North America, the vast majority of contemporary African Americans possess varying degrees of admixture with European and Native American ancestry.

Some courts have called a person black if the person had any known African ancestry. It became known as the one-drop rule, meaning that a single drop of "black blood" makes a person "black". Some courts have called it the traceable amount rule, and anthropologists used to call it the hypodescent rule, meaning that racially mixed persons were assigned the status of the subordinate group. Prior to the one-drop rule, different states had different laws regarding color; in ******ia, for example, a person was legally black if he or she had at least one-sixteenth black ancestry. The one-drop rule originated in the Southern United States in the 19th century, perhaps in response to the increasingly polarized view of blacks and whites in the wake of the Civil War.The first year in which the U.S. Census did not count mulattoes was 1920, evidencing a shift in the American conception of what an African American is. For African Americans, the one-drop system of pigmentocracy was a significant factor in ethnic solidarity. African Americans generally shared a common lot in society and, therefore, common cause—regardless of their multiracial admixture or social and economic stratification.





Do you know how many genes separate the entire human race?
Six genes, out of the 30,000 to 40,000 genes that make us human, determine race. Race Has Little to Do with Genetic Makeup


African Americans have a lineage connected to the continent of Africa just like everyone else in the world.(life started in Africa)


Black Puerto Ricans have a lineage connected to the continent of Africa
Black Dominicans have a lineage connected to the continent of Africa
Black Cubans have a lineage connected to the continent of Africa
Black Brazilians have a lineage connected to the continent of Africa

any person in the world with lineage connected to the continent of Africa. Is considered black in this Country UNDER THE LAW.
Because if you have Black Characteristic's (BLOOD) you have a
lineage connected to the continent of Africa.

therefore you are considered BLACK

Gamboa is blacker than Barack *****.

gamboa is not black..black is african american you know hopkins,jones,pbf,sam peter

[Flawless 2]

I remember a poll asking "is Trinidad black or Latino??".

There are no black Puerto Ricans.

Pele isn't black, he's Brazilian. Really, Brazil has NO history at all of the slave trade. They only came to America, you know.

A person can't be black if he's not born in America or Africa.

Is he joking????


How is Gamboa NOT BLACK.

[Underdog82]

The first impression is usually the correct one. The second I laid eyes on him I saw him as black. Therefore he is black.

Sam Peter is not African American, he's NIGERIAN. Anyway, Yes Gamboa is a black man. There are many Afro Cubans and he's one of them. Most Cuban boxers are afro Cubans either black or half black (Mulatto, like myself)
