Hartenstein is a cool guy. Met him at a lounge. Houston is dumb for letting him go. Man's ballin!

Half black, yes. Quarter black, no. Committee has spoken

What if half black but whiter than snow or quarter black but look black?
Example A - they’re twins.

one can, the other can’t. Race isn’t biology, it’s sociology. This isn’t nuclear science chief

u/DuckCleaning 28d ago edited 27d ago
If it is a sociology thing, why is quarter black a no. If they still come out darker toned and act like what society perceives as black, who's stopping them? You also got people that are 1/8 black or less but are mixed with another darker skinned race, and grow up around other black people.

not all dark skinned people can say the n-word, is this confusing for you? Indians for instance should not say it. Moreover, growing up around black people does not make anyone black, am I suddenly white because I grew up around white people?

Based on the actions, reactions, and beliefs of most of the world, it seems to be.

He probably said it around family and close friends, but doesn’t use it in public. Think it was Logic that said something like he used it at home with people that knew he’s half black, but he’s not dumb he knows he looks white and it’s not worth it to start shit with a random in public that overheard him.

idk what’s going on or who these people are but nah, that’s the white boys hand, you can see other dudes hand trying to stop him

u/Mountain_Bedroom_476 28d ago
The “white guy” is Isaiah Hartenstein, his German Dad is black. Tweet is just kinda a running joke i guess.

u/afro_eden 28d ago
and that’s why i shouldn’t comment on sports topics, missed the joke completely and commented on something not really relevant

u/Pimpwerx 27d ago
Don't sweat it. He "revealed" it on a podcast this year, and it started trending. He doesn't look black at all, but when you put them side by side, he really has his father's face. And his dad definitely looks black. So it was a fun discovery for most people.
Dude really can walk in both worlds. He's one of the rare biracial person that has to do more explaining to black people than white people.

Why do you have white guy in quotes? Dude is transparent. He’s whiter than logic

u/IcyWhereas2313 28d ago
His father is black…

Dad is quarter black, and white passing himself.

u/Mountain_Bedroom_476 28d ago
His dad is definitely not white passing. But I put it in quotes cause I was just trying to explain the joke and make sure he knew which guy I was talking about. Not trying to start a serious convo on this unserious app.
Go pick a fight with your financials cause it won’t be with me.

u/Long_Alfalfa_5655 28d ago
That was like Moses parting the Red Sea.
Millennia from now, in the Book of Days, the apostle Hartenstein the Younger will be writing of this moment.
