LOL 😂 well I support him 110%. And as we all aware, DNA doesn't lie and our courts/ jury panels demaded it all the time.. this ain't CSI effect, it's proof.. 4% is a number too 👍👍

That’s the whitest thing I’ve heard all day

4% is better then thinking and feeling something your not

Color to the aid

And THIS is how toxic white victims get even.

Well the guy has probably been paying for affirmative action all his adult life so good on him. Does he have a go fund me?

sceptre472 SenWarren might be in the same boat as this business owner with Native American

😂😂 negative sir, you need a lot more than to claim being black

It worked for Liz Warren!

Y_Khalid1

Well, he is 4% more black than Fauxcahontas is Cherokee, so if she qualifies as a minority then so does he.

I am confusion

Wow. Next you’ll be telling me that a very white HarvardLaw professor has claimed she should be considered a “Native American” for hiring & promotion purposes based on her “high cheekbones” Ha! Impossible!! SenWarren elizabethforma

South Park can explain everything...

He cualifies only for 4% of the minority business help.

So do I

Now you're on to something. Protecting minorities is getting a little complicated isn't it.

Makes sense.

“Minority” privilege

I'm 4% Russian But that doesn't make me a Commie

With all the shit that's going on right now, this is what you're choosing to promote

Yeah right and more than a few light people want to join the country club.

Trump would do it.

Why not?

It's an interesting question. We seems to have forgotten that Virginia's Racial Integrity Act of 1924 (and other states' laws) declared if you had just "one drop" of African blood (as determined by historical birth records) you were "colored" and could not marry a white person.

Hahaha! That's a funny one. Did you take this from the Onion?

If you need a DNA test to let u know you’re black... there’s no way u should get minority benefits 🙄🙄

Why wouldn’t he! Pocahontas elizabethforma got scholarships, Jobs etc for faking it. You never wrote an article or criticized her but you are going after a genetic black guy. JeffBezos has no morals

Nothing much matters if human nature is peaceful n clear mindset .

Good! You want a caste system? Let do this. How do you do fellow Blacks?

This will be interesting to follow.

Oh effing hell.

If you benefit from the majority of not being a minority, then you don't get to benefit of escaping the majority of the reason the minority benefits exist.

Go for it

Well southern segregation laws, passed by democrats, did mention “a single drop of blood”. Give it to him he qualifies, he has 4

Lol

Also it should be noted, it's likely that he has more ancestors from Africa than the Caucuses. So calling him Caucasian is wrong.

So he's a minority minority? That's better, right?

Who'd of thought this South Park episode would become a reality, but then again it's 2018.

If he identifies as a black man, who are we to judge?

This is next level white privilege

Science national association DNA IS 99.9 % MADE BY THE GOV AND LAW ENFORCEMENT PROBABILITY AND CAPABILITY IS NOT 100.%

Eh, wines with a varietal name (like "Zinfandel") must be at least 75% that actual grape.

AGREED!

Why not? We don't have to be a female or a male anymore either. We are gender neutral so why can't we be race neutral?

And the other 96% qualifies him as an idiot business owner.

icecube baby

I'm pretty sure being 4% black is enough to get you a free coffee at Starbucks.

those tests are super flimsy,that's why company isn't doing them anymore.Technically we ALL descend from sub-Sahara Africa,but that doesn't correct racial injustice people 'of color' suffer+deserve some relief from, not white guys who've had all the benefits..

All these racists will say he shouldn't be eligible. He's black people. Let him in or contact the NAACP.

Sorry, that's bullshit!

Very American really.

Well, get ready for intersectionality to tear the country to pieces.

Tell the cops to treat him as a minority that he wants to be too. We'll see how that goes.

It's almost as if the American concept of race is kind of silly.

Lmao from the waste down. Lol but seriously....shits getting rediculous

typical liberal

What's the % standard that the US government uses to identify people as Native Americans?

SO give him his 4%.

Sounds good to me. I'll be teaching my daughters to put in whatever race benefits them the most. "Race is just a social construct" after all.

What percentage would one need?

So does this mean African Americans, who typically have 15-20% European DNA, get to use "white privilege" when needed? 😬😂

In that case I am an Alaskan. 😆

Mine said I was 100 percent mediocre. I don’t know what continent those people came from.

Obama was 25% black and wanted to be seen as 1st black Pres...

I'm 6% Swedish. This doesn't mean I get my own Skarsgård.

A DNA test said he was 4% black. Now he wants to qualify to say the word n-

So many opportunities to not be the worst, but white folks just can't help themselves.

What about the average Black American who has at least 24% “white” blood, Ryan. What do WE get?

We're all at least 4% black wtf is this nonsense

sincerely_rican

I'm 19% Irish. You got anything for me, jamesonwhiskey? TullamoreDEWUS? 😂

These chickens have come home to roost! 😂

Good thinking.

Color is nothing but a social construct. People should be able to identify any way they wish.

He should get only 4 % of profits😂

"Now he wants to qualify as a minority" The 96% white part checks out.

"I'm a certified black man. I'm certified black in 50 states." What might that certification look like? Can black twitter show their certificates for comparison sake?

🤣🤣welcome brother...but keep that same energy when you are disenfranchised as a minority. BTW I have European DNA due to a rape on the plantation in the 1800s. I should be entitled to......nevermind....💅🏽

IT'S ALWAYS SEEMED WEIRD TO ME THAT IF YOU LOOK AS WHITE AS BED LINEN, BUT HAVE ONE SCINTILLA OF AFRICAN BLOOD, YOU'RE OFFICIALLY BLACK. ISN'T THAT A CARRY-OVER FROM THE OLD RACIST DAY'S, AS OPPOSED TO THE NEW RACIST DAY'S?

I think every human on the planet is at least 4% black.

Uh, no. That’s not how it works. If a black person is 4% White/Caucasian, it doesn’t mean he or she can sign up for “White privilege.” Nice try though.

Using blood quotients is considered to be highly offensive. In Australia, it is how you identify and whether the group you're claiming membership to identifies with you. You need to be able to demonstrate ties.
