Most black people in America aren't fully black (but mixed with European blood), which is why they come in a variety of shades and color ("lightskin" "brown" "dark" etc.), but this doesn’t prevent them from identifying as black. By your logic, wouldn’t MOST black Americans be considered "biracial"?
Can we not do the whole race thing on here....
What's wrong with discussing race? Avoiding the topic of it isn’t gonna help stop the systematic oppression that occurs in the United States...
It has nothing to do with what this thread is about... I think y'all are the only ones concerned about it.

Tons of off-topic discussion has occured in this thread, but I apologize for getting off topic. I'll stop.

Unless most of their parents aren't straight European, but Cory's mom is, which is why he's BIRACIAL. I know it myself since I'm West Indian, and i have some white and Arawak blood in my background. But that doesn't erase the fact that he's way more BIRACIAL (half-white, half-black) than black. Most black Americans aren't considered biracial, because since you have only 15 to 25% of African blood, they are wrongly considered as Blacks even though they don't look like Black. That's an American thing I guess.But genetically, it's wrong to call Cory a black man.

Do you really think this is the best forum to get anything productive out of it or do you just want attention?
MTV Real World and 'Real Issues' haven't been in the same sentence (besides this one) since 2011. Anyway loving the diversity that seems to be coming to this season as well as RW:BB so maybe we're headed back to it.
I think anyone hoping that Darrell makes some kind of big statement and tries to rock Johnny in an elimination round is delusional. That's not his game and it makes no sense to do it. Johnny hasn't had great competition the last few years but it's not like he's a schlub of a competitor. Why would you do that and risk going home rather than ride with him and beat him in the final, which he should be able to do pretty comfortably?
And how do we know that Backpack won't come after Darrell first though?
It's possible I guess. But he'd be dumb to do that because a) Darrell could probably beat him in more things than Johnny would beat him at, b) it would probably alienate Derrick, and c) Darrell's smart enough to realize what's going on if Johnny tries to do it sneakily. I expect something like the Duel 2 where the top guys all just roll together and hash it out at the end.

anywho. CT being a possibility has me geeked. If I get 3 of my faves Cory, Theo, & CT, explode (yes theo is my fav before the season starts cause i know someone gonna say how when you havent seen anything from him. he followed me back on snap and watches my bomb *** snaps so thats my dog)

That was always so stupid IMO.
At least it makes for a competitive final unlike the shit stompings that have occurred for the last ~6 seasons. When was the last legitimately close final? Exes 1?
My mother is black, father is white - I identify as a black
buy anyway...
If Nia is done with the challenges and don't want to do them anymore I wish she would just say it so we can stop getting our hopes up. There is nothing wrong with moving forward from reality tv, I would really respect her for it. BUT this ***** liked to play games, and I know she does it on propose. If you are over it, just say so.
It has nothing to do with what this thread is about... I think y'all are the only ones concerned about it.
But anyway... Cory is black and identifies as such, so moving along now.
Thank you!

Lol its my fault in the first place...
***** this is vevmo
**** its vevmo you really think you gonna get a great discussion on such a deep issue like that for real.
Nah, you're good. I should've just stayed quiet ****.
MANDI!!! <3 Yasssssss
jk. Ppl need to **** about race on here. Take it somewhere else this isn't the thread to discuss who is black and who isn't.
Y'all really gonna contribute even more to this off-topic discussion Gamer was just complaining about... It's a wrap; NEXT.

*contributes more*
Cory was black until he started actin a fool on Ex-plosion. But he gained his black card back when he was hangin w/ Nia & Cee Jai a couple months ago.
Sorry for getting off-topic; anyway I hope CT & Shane gonna be in the final cast (and occassionally hook up^^)
It's possible I guess. But he'd be dumb to do that because a) Darrell could probably beat him in more things than Johnny would beat him at, b) it would probably alienate Derrick, and c) Darrell's smart enough to realize what's going on if Johnny tries to do it sneakily.

next discussion please.
If CT is on, I really think this a Duel/new individual game.
That was always so stupid IMO.
Cory is black. There.
anywho. CT being a possibility has me geeked. If I get 3 of my faves Cory, Theo, & CT, explode (yes theo is my fav before the season starts cause i know someone gonna say how when you havent seen anything from him. he followed me back on snap and watches my bomb *** snaps so thats my dog)
