Please to not discredit their experiences with racism just because they are mixed race. Mixed race people still experience prejudices from both white and black people, and insinuating that they are “privileged” is a form of gaslighting and is insulting.

I don’t know anything about Education/College Networks. What is all this?

Clearly these blacks passed the paper bag test. Clifton talks a lot about racism with whites in his interviews. However it’s interesting how he never mentions the racism among light skinned blacks towards dark skinned blacks which was very common then and still exists now. Clifton wouldn’t dare bring home a dark skinned woman to marry back then, his parents would have had a fit.

They are labeled Black but in reality, they are mixed. That is whats more appropriate. And their appearance definitely gave them social privilege and sheltered them from social obstruction and exclusion that afflict most darker skinned Blacks.
