or you know not take the words literally an see them in a similar light to the mule idiom. I have a question

Which black person is more liberated?

The one that marries a black person but clings to the illogical and intrinsically unbalanced construct of race as a lens through which to view themselves -- ultimately passing this same flawed self view to their children

or

the black person who marries a non black person and rejects the intrinsic identify as the lesser in the afore mentioned construct

Within the construct of race the offspring of a black non black union is still black and takes away from nothing so far as black empowerment is concerned.

On the point of black empowerment the only way such a thing can really be achieved is through building wealth within most black communities, developing education within most black communities, and or dismantling the construct of race through violent or non violent means. Marriages between people of different skin tones and or cultural backgrounds (i.e. race) has little bearing on any of those.

The results Dr. Umar envisions stemming from black only marriages could be equally obtained by raising black children that become adults who value marriage and commit to it. In other better black parents (more of them) can net the same results IMO.
