Antonio Brown becomes first black gay Atlanta council member

Cute guy!

Sexy bro

Very cute!

Loves his urban accent

He's not black, he's mixed heritage.

He’s a honey bunny

What about me????

Another site calls him "bisexual", i suddenly stopped caring.

Yay! I support hot bisexual dudes!

Yep he’s bi, which makes him even hotter. 🔥🔥🔥🔥👅😋

Bisexual ? I see he hasn't fully come out yet.

Atlanta residents elected bisexual businessman Antonio Brown to be their new District 3 city councilman during a runoff Tuesday night, making the entrepreneur the first Black LGBTQ member on the city council. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Brown defeated former Atlanta Public School board member Byron Amos by securing 53.26% of the vote. Amos registered 587 votes in the race while Brown secured 669 votes in his favor. Brown fills the seat left empty by Ivory Lee Young Jr., who passed away in November 2018.

Brown, 34, said to 11Alive at his victory party Tuesday evening that his campaign was purely driven by the community's support.

"I believe the people were tired. They wanted their voices to be heard, and that is a reflection of the outcome of today," he added.

Many rushed to social media to congratulate the luxury menswear designer on his historic win.

Cock and pussy

Is he dating anyone?

Based on OPs photo, it's time to get his ears pinned back.

That's some fine HIgh Yella!

why does the article say he's gay? Is there a link somewhere of him talking about his sexuality? I want to know if he's bi or gay

He sounds nerdy, i bet he wears glasses.

He probably told the black publication that he was bi and the white publication what he really was which is a gay.

He's cute

the article is incorrect. Brown is not the first lgbt Atlanta city council member. There was 1 before him

He likes the pole and the hole.

r21 Black is the key word in that phrase.

Black

First openly bisexual ATL council member

Fine

I thank Mayor Pete for this

Papi

Model

HE ISNT EVEN BLACK. LOOK AT HIM. HES CLEARLY VERY MIXED

One of his models

he is very good looking. Hope his star can rise in politics with no scandals. I know it's Atlanta lol but let's hope

Beautiful

Style

He’s hot but that is not a black man

R35 EXACTLY

wonder if he'd run that Bi me?

oh I see in the last 6 years he's done business and met with celebs too. Perfect for Atlanta lol the LA of the south

He’s probably nearly wealthy

I've been following him on IG for a while but hadn't realized he's gay/bi.

He looks more Latino than Black(yes I know you can be Afro-latino but in terms of how gays see race, he is) so that’s why he’ll end up a DL fav

He’s barely even Afro-Latino. He’s more mestizo than Afro.

Great achievement.

Congratulations!

A lot of ignorant people here about race

warm, musky and inviting anus with a light dusting of speaker wire

R44 I know race. He’s not simply black.

Good for him but jeez, I’ve seen darker Italians.

Fine you "he isn't black" trolls. Do you think he could pass the paper bag test? He is black. Get over it.

If he's bisexual, he's way more into dudes, or at least his twitter reads that way.

He's also /religious/.

Does a lot of public speaking and volunteer work.

He's like a black and gay Kate Hudson.

He’s not black r48

Look at his facial features. Look at his hair.

He could pass for Italian.

[quote]He could pass for Italian.

ROFL.

Uh, no.

Yes. He could. REAL Italians. Not the fake ones out here that inherited an Italian name but if they did a DNA test there’s no Italian

White, black, brown, whatever he is, he is gorgeous!

LOL, R54. No.

Italians are European and have European features.

Do you think Croatians look black, R54? Because they're geographically closer than Italy to where black people come from.

R56 just because Italy is located in Europe doesn’t mean they’re white. Italians and Greeks are not white.

They're white, Vick. You know how you have "light skinned black people" versus "dark skinned black people"? There is also the same kind of diversity when it comes to white people.

The Stupidity on race here is vile

They aren’t white. White People aren’t dark. They’re only dark when they have the DNA of others... like Middle Eastern people which populated Italy and Greek.

He's [italic]culturally[/italic] Black, you fuckin' "he's not black" idiots. In the United States, African-Americans are of ALL shades of brown, a fact you've already known. Stop instigating shit.

He's handsome. I like how he sounds when he speaks.

He identifies as black. Case closed.

Nothing better than a masculine bisexual black dude.

The real Antonio Brown is gorgeous. Boomin.

He is rather light complected for a colored man? Are you sure he is not Samoen?

Zaddy

Swag

R69 R69 that’s not a black man.

I love this one of him wishing his mother, and all other mothers, a Happy Mothers' Day.

How long until them queens in Atlanta start spilling his tea?

Love this brotha

WHO IS HE DATING? that's what matters now that he got elected.

If he says he's black the he's black. Good God, some of you persnickety queens are too much. He looks like someone who had one white parent and one light skinned bi-racial parent. A union like that will produce children that are especially light skinned. I've never met a bi-racial person (black/white) who didn't consider themselves black. There are some bi-racial people who are so light skinned they an easily pass for Caucasian so I guess some of them might tell people they're white. But I've never met one.

that all stems from the history of racism in this country. There was a time when the "1 drop rule" applied. If you had the appearance of being mixed with any other race, you were automatically deemed not white and a part of the other race, leading white laws and society to treat you as such. Even after the civil rights movement, things in this country still aren't equal and many mixed people choose to identify with the non-white part of their identity as they likely experienced discrimination or at least a non-white experience growing up

R76 nailed it.

But reality is he’s not a black man. He looks like someone whose majority is very much NOT BLACK.

Stop putting him in the same category as actual black men, which he doesn’t resemble in the slightest.

Fem white gay men are insufferable, often racist as we see

DAMN, he's a hot black dude. Too bad he's bi. I see a bright future if he stays away from scandals.

He’s a hot black dude who isn’t black.

DL fave Laurence has a black mom

[Quote]Stop putting him in the same category as actual black men, which he doesn’t resemble in the slightest.

Then 95% of African Americans need to stop claiming to be black, since that's roughly the percentage of those who have white blood.

And once again, Antonio Brown is part of the Black CULTURE, despite being of apparent mixed origins. You can be mixed or biracial as a member of the Black/African American CULTURE.

He's giving some latin vibes but overall you can clock him as black.

R81 Thanks for this one, truly beautiful.

R82 sweetie. I said MAJORITY Non black. I didn’t say he has a little white dna. Stupid.

That manufactured hairline is his biggest problem. Girl needs to accept the truth.

R86 Tell that to trump and his wigs.

So they put out a news article identifying this guy as black and gay when he's neither?

Dump has bigger problems than the rats' nest on his head

I wish him well and suggest that if he ever gets to Washington to steer clear from that Southern pervert Lindsay Graham!

R91 We need a metoo on Lindsey, I have a feeling he's a gay Epstein in the making.

oops meant R90

good for him, I though he was done after the steelers dumped him.

Biracial men are my weakness.

R94 Second that, there's a lot of biracial hotties on instagram.

Damn this dude is hot as FUCK! He has to be attached. If not, I'll move my ass from DC to Atlanta to be his spouse.

Not my type.

[quote]They aren’t white. White People aren’t dark. They’re only dark when they have the DNA of others... like Middle Eastern people which populated Italy and Greek.

GREECE. You're obviously not an expert.

GREECE. It was an error.

Both famous Antonio Browns are hot AF

This guy is clearly mixed. Come on.

Not the first gay---a lesbian was on Atlanta council during the 2000s. She ran for mayor. A total realtor whore, pro-development in the worst way. She was white.

We are talking about the first bisexual ATL council member here, not the white ones

Future ATL mayor

Future sperm donor to my guts

He is Shaun white black. Meaning black in thought and words.

He is Rachel Dolz black

Has Tyler Perry hit that yet?

He's black-adjacent.

He’s Black

He’s not black.

He's light-skinned black, like actor Jesse Williams.

Anyway, let's be glad that more gay & bi people are occupying political positions, especially those who have African ancestry. Our elected officials should be just as diverse as the citizens they serve.

White Gay effeminates are so annoying

Jesse Williams is half white. He isn’t light skin black aka a child of two black people that came out light skin. He has a white parent. That means he’s HALF WHITE.

And this guy is even less black than Jesse.

R114 C'mon you know the only reason some black folks are light (beyonce for example) is because of white/european admixture. Dont play dumb.

Most half black Americans identify as Black. Overwhelmingly

Black identity is cooler

It’s because in the US government THEY HAVE TO IDENTIFY AS BLACK. And they’re treated as black no matter what skin color they are.

Mariah Carey spoke about how in the USA she HAS TO claim black, but in other places she’s not considered black, she’s mixed race.

R115 if that’s the case when will you all admit why some “white” people are dark skinned...

It works both ways.

She think she cute.

With Sean Soto

Amazing how light skin black is given credit to some white ancestry but you all fight hard to admit those super tanned olive “whites” aren’t really all that white...

R119 Of course, some southern europeans (ie spanish) are darker because of admixture from middle eastern and black moors. Funny or not I find spanish and italian the most handsome european men.

Bisexual? Let's hope he finds himself a nice girl to settle down with and raise a family!

r121, what does he meant by “difficult times”?

I don't get it. You whites don't want light-skinned blacks to identify as African American, but you also won't accept them into your notion of whiteness. What do you guys want? For light-skinned blacks to suddenly form their own category and culture after being part of the African American culture for centuries?

Actually, I think you want them to hate darker-skinned blacks as much as you do, and have them plead for acceptance into the white category.

They’re mixed. They’re more than one race.

He isn’t light skinned. He’s MIXED, and very clearly.

Whatever, he's hotter than any of you hoes that's a fact.

He’s gorgeous.

R126 hit the nail on the head.

Preach r126!

There already are a lot of light skin blacks or mixed race blacks (not the same) that think they’re above darker skin cause they’re treated better than dark skin

Not really

Most light skin black People try hard to be accepted and identified as just as black as dark AAs

But they are never seen as the same.

And that’s SOME. Others blend better with the whites.

I’m in love with both R126 and R128.

Why can't he just identify however the fuck he wants to??

White, black, biracial, gay, bisexual. It's 2019. Who the fuck cares?

Do gay white men prefer light or dark skinned black ? I'm curious.

[quote]Do gay white men prefer light or dark skinned black ? I'm curious.

Yes.

R138 is everyone the same? I’m sure some like one more than the other. Some don’t care about color. Some like neither.

But light skin is and will always be more popular in the world.

Black bi and Gay men prefer Dark. It’s considered more masculine and manly. Black Women also prefer darker men for the same reason. Light skin men are widely derided as “soft” or “corny.0

The thread title clearly says he's the "FIRST BLACK GAY ATLANTA COUNCIL MEMBER". Not the first gay Atlanta council member.

Good looking man

He’s not black or gay.

He just IDENTIFIES as both.

Here's an article about him that mentions his write up in Krave magazine, a "fashion and lifestyle publication for men of color"

Dude is black, get over it

He's inspirational and well-spoken. I wish him the best of luck in his political career.

Don’t call black People “well-spoken.” 🙄

He identifies as bi.

Why are you shocked he’s “well spoken”?! R147

Do you think he likes light skinned or dark skinned black women?

R151 I think based on seeing many videos of him that he likes all types of women and men, and doesn’t discriminate based on race like you do.

Only racists see someone like him and assume they only like “light” or “dark” black people.

PS there are more than two shades. Dumbasses.

Here he is helping homeless LGBTQ youth. For a young man, I admire his devotion to the community.

^ Waah waah waah!

R154 hope you never meet me. You won’t like it.

Why? What will happen? Lol

A lot.

I imagine it'll involve you doing a lot of hissing and flouncing.

Whatever brah

Nope. And I’m not a “brah”. I’m a white man sick of racists.

Uh huh

Shouldn't you be out being a huge masculine mainstream bisexual black bro, playing a sport and finding a chick who will probably orgasm three times over your unbridled mascness, instead of conversing with us pitiful effeminates, R159?

And R160, are you still lusting over your WHITE bitchy gay boss from Chicago?

I fail to see any racist or racism in this thread, quite the opposite, most comments are guys drooling over him.

[quote] I imagine it'll involve you doing a lot of hissing and flouncing.

I'm sorry, but that made me guffaw! LOL

R162, naw son.

Great news! And yes he’s hot. Keep it in your pants Antonio and your future is very bright 😎

OMG, how come R165? I thought chicks are lining up for a chance at some masc bisexual black dick.

[Quote]Don’t call black People “well-spoken.”

I'm calling Antonio Brown well-spoken. By the way, many Blacks ARE well-spoken, just like many Whites.

[Quote]Why are you shocked he’s “well spoken”?! [R147]

I'm not shocked. I'm impressed. Honestly, many young people aren't well-spoken, but he's one of those who is.

So much racism on here!!!!

Future governor

R167 he’s not black

Not talking about Antonio, I'm talking about DL's black masc dudebro! He should be nailing chicks left and right!

So, anyways, since this thread is popping did any of you fags use your free time to dig up some shirtless photos or nah ?

DL just can't stand successful light skinned black men!

He’s mixed race.

Has the Piedmont Driving Club weighed in?

Look at him with actual black men. If you don’t see the difference in facial features...

Total babebro

R152, do you find this DL thread objectionable?

Is it racist if I find your blue veins and parchment colored skin unattractive R179? No, because you're old, wrinkled, flat assed and hideous. Kindly stop discussing shades of black. Yes, you're a racist.

[quote]No, because you're old, wrinkled, flat assed and hideous.

Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong.

Is he a Boule member?

Jack and Jill? Anything?

Is he “somebody”?

[quote]He’s mixed race.

So is Jussie, but you don't see a bunch of white people rushing to claim him....let this guy fuck up like Jussie and see how fast he gets the BLACK label.

In one of the video clips, he refers to "a dark moment in my life". What's the tea? Does he deal with clinical depression?

Does he go to the upscale church in town?

Where did he attend college?

R184 he’s not Jussie looking mixed. Jussie looks like a light skinned black.

He has a thin nose, small lips, nice hair and is fair skinned. He wouldn’t get treated the same. He’s Rashida Jones and Mariah Carey mix type, not Tracee Ellis-Ross and Jussie

And yes, what we look like does matter. Light skin with more Anglo features will get treated better than light skin with black features...

Shush, R188 & R189. We're not allowed to discuss shades of black.

Obama = first half-black homosexual President!

R191 Dont forget muslim, he was also our first muslim president.

R184: BOOM! There it is! And r177, just that pic alone shows you where he aligns himself

Well if you're insinuating that the Piedmont Driving Club is still all white, don't. They've had black members since the mid 90s.

Jesus Christ R177 we all know he's obviously mixed race. Why are you continuing to harp on that. But as we've said several times. Most all mixed race people of black and white makeup consider themselves part of the black community.

[quote]but you all fight hard to admit those super tanned olive “whites” aren’t really all that white...

They are white, they just aren't "snow white" like redheads, who have some genetic abnormality that gives them powder white skin. 90% of white people tan olive. Only a small percentage don't tan properly or turn "red".

R196 incorrect. They have DNA from blacks and Middle Eastern folk.

Most white people do, R197, where do you think we migrated to Europe from originally.

[quote] folk

"People"?

R198 glad someone is admitting it instead of denying the reality.

But Italians and Greeks and Spanish have more of it.

They're still "white people", regardless, R200.

Barely.

It's funny because those pale whites in northern europe love to go to Spain and Greece and often end up dating/marrying dark whites and even middle eastern. It's like there's some sort of opposite attracts type of situation.

You guys are tedious.

Most British people are the descendents of farmers from Syria and Iraq who migrated to the British islands 8000 ago.

Get some perceptive

R204 WOW I guess history is repeating itself in the 21st century lol

Yeah, Northern Europeans love them some Middle Eastern men

I am so thrilled by the poster who constantly updates us on Atlanta's news and cultural buildings! What would we do without news of this important Southern metropolis?

Those white People love Italians and Greeks cause they’re not white

[quote]I thank Mayor Pete for this

Hasn't got shit to do with him, so stop it.

Exactly

My god. Let’s get to more important topics. What is his stance in healthcare? College loans? Who does he support for president? And most importantly, is he cut?

Are most black men cut or uncut ? I feel like I've seen more cut though but I'm not an expert so I dont know if the sample size is representative of the majority.

R212 most are cut but he’s not black.

He’s an out vegetarian! And based on this pic, clearly a supporter of the second amendment 💪🏽

why is this thread such a fucking mess? He's hot and part of the lgbt community.

We need to know if he's single, dating, fwbs, hookups, and if he's top, vers or bottom

He looks like a black Rob Kardashian.

R216 he does not even look black...

Black People look a wide range of ways. Don’t be ignorant

Black People don’t have Anglo noses and lips.

Some do, including some in my family

R217 Sounds bitter and jealous.

R220 cause they have Anglo DNA

[quote]Bisexual? Let's hope he finds himself a nice girl to settle down with and raise a family! —ALMOST typed that out without chuckling....

r124, well, considering that almost 90% of bisexuals end up in opposite-sex relationships, this is distinct possibility.

The great majority of African Americans have substantial Anglo DNA regardless of superficial looks

He looks thug but sounds whitest sounding black republican you can think of.

What does “look thug” mean to you, cause he looks like most modern black and Latin American males.

He's a Republican? 😟

R227 No, at least i don't think. He has gay legs

He doesnt look thug LOL, you never seen a real thug if you think this dude is thug

R224 incorrect. Most have over 70% African DNA.

r229 Ok not extremely thug but still the tatoos on the arm, he's trying to give that vibe but waste down it's gay legs.

25% is substantial

Bi legs

I hope he finds another good looking gay guy in politics, it'd be kinda cool to have an openly gay couple in politics but something tells me he'll end up with a woman.

He’s gay, very hot, very hung and great in bed with men!

Women are probably throwing themselves at him

r234 That's if you believe he's actually "bi", he sounds very gay to me.

Mixed people always spark debate.

Linked a video where ethnically ambiguous people take DNA tests. I lold way to hard when the chick Courtney says people tell her she looks Russian! Girl, you black.

The other 25% is never all white. R232

[Quote]gay legs

R231 WHAT IN THE HELL ARE GAY LEGS?

Bisexual Black Excellence 👍🏾👊🏽🙌🏾

Bisexual Biracial Excellence

I cant believe someone called him a thug because of his tattoos, you old coots need to get out more

Yeah he’s not a thug. Smh. The racism keep exposing itself.

Exactly

He has the most perfect nose that i have ever seen

I never understood the desire some men have to masturbate with one another. If I plan a sexual encounter, then I'm expecting a dick to fill some orifice.

Yeah I’m not into jerking off together either

lmao r247, Im sure Mr. Brown campaigned on this issue 🤣

What the heck are you talking about?

Damn he’s hot as fu—

[QUOTE]He’s an out vegetarian!

Nevermind.

Where I'm from the black men dont look like this. Maybe I should move to Atlanta.

Is he actually biracial or are you guys labeling him as biracial?

Spiffy

Swag

R252 HES NOT ACTUALLY BLACK. THATS WHY HE DOESNT LOOK BLACK.

I bet he’s like 25% black or less and just labels himself as black cause that’s what society says he is.

R253 ARE YOU BLIND?

I have people in my family who look just like him and they aren't biracial...

R257 lies

His line is at Bloomingdales

The ignorance about black people here is astounding but explains why white gay men have such a bad reputation as racist

He's gorgeous, I'm surprised no shirtless pics yet

Is Cory Booker not black, either?

Tell Steph Curry he's not black

Why would I lie about this? Sometimes light skinned blacks only procreate with other light skinned black people...

I know a lot about black people.

There’s no way he’s just black though. There’s no way he’s even majority white.

And I know this cause I studied this.

Steph Curry is more than black also...

But he’s not just light skinned. There is more to it....

Majority black*

^Most African-Americans are more than just black...what does that mean?

You’re either black or you aren’t. This is America.

Steph Curry is hot as fuck.

OMFG R268 BEING 79% black and the rest something else is not the same as being a big mix or majority white with some black.

For fucks sake

He looks like NBA player Klay Thompson.

R269 it’s 2019. Not 1950.

R272 another mixed man.

The vast majority of African-Americans are part European. Do you need a history class?

Why are biracial men so good looking ?

I guess the DeBarges aren't black either!

[QUOTE]it’s 2019. Not 1950.

So that means when Steph Curry and Klay Thompson fill out their census form, they check white on there under race? You think they check “other?” I highly doubt it.

Some things change, but most things stay the same.

Yes r274, but he's still black.

Yes, and I have black people who look mixed in my family even though both parents are black.

STFU about his race you fucking jobless piece of shits.

Lets talk about his perfect nose.

R275 see R271

R281 it’s an Anglo nose. He got from his white DNA.

Alicia!

R280 show me them

Even Sparkle identifies as a black woman.

Alicia Keyes mom is white... thanks for proving my point.

Alicia Keys doesn’t check “white” on the census form.

THEY CANT CHECK WHITE YOU STUPID FUCKS. GET AN EDUCATION ALREADY. WELCOME TO 2019.

You can learn and grow as people fucking retards.

I asked a simple question. Is he biracial? Does he have a white parent? You guys are making too many assumptions.

Why did you ask that question? It’s meaningless. He’s still a black man regardless if he has a white parent or not.

And how the fuck are we supposed to know about his parents, anyway?

No. He’s biracial. R291

His daddy chose to copulate with a white woman and produced this gorgeous specimen

He’s like 3/4 white.

I asked the question because people always making assumptions as if they are experts in genetics. Many black people have been passing as white for centuries and they weren't biracial.

R296 false. They had a lot of White dna if they could go as far as pass for white.

Having a lot of white DNA doesn't make you biracial.

Does he have a big booty?

Thank you, r299! These are the questions we need answered, not what percentage black and white he is!

Of course he does, R299. He’s black.

R298 you’re highly uneducated. Until you study this please keep your mouth shut.

Black men are beautiful. No matter what shade they are. We love being black, that's why the majority of biracial people identify as black. (not to mention that people get sick of always being asked if they're mixed race)

Someone on this thread finds Antonio Brown hot, but is unattracted (and racist) to "true" black men. THAT'S why he keeps disputing the same point.

Both Antonio Browns are sexy as fuck. Periodt.

No, I've literally studied this and seen real life biracial people. I have people in my family who look just like Antonio Brown who aren't biracial. I know many biracial people who are dark skinned.

Yes, I do too, R304. It wasn't you I was referring to, but the poster who keeps saying "He's NOT black" over and over. Antonio Brown being referred to as black obviously confuses his lower regions and upsets his mind.

After 400 years, white people are trying to redefine blackness. Biracial people have always been categorized as black in the US. This isn't fucking South Africa. How is Barack Obama black but Antonio Brown isn't? Are we only defining race based on facial features now?

Anyway...he's sexy as fuck. I'd bed him.

He's white enough, I'll allow him.

better get in line r307. I bet he has to beat off that ATL trade with a stick.

To all the people denying his blackness, if this man approached your mother on a dark sidewalk late at night he’d be considered black. When this man gets stopped by police for failing to signal a lane change, he’s black. When he gets elected to public office y’all want to claim him but that’s not how the real world works.

omfg why are people debating what his racial/ethnic makeup is? who cares?

He's hot, he's lgbt and now into politics. I hope he rises without scandal. Would be great to see him as a future mayor of Atlanta or a House rep for Georgia

Lol it’s tough to even follow who’s arguing with whom in this thread. You all are suuuuper angry over this.

The guy is closer to white than black. Just look at his face, color and hair texture. He is mostly white, no doubt about it, but he culturally identifies with the afro american community. Only in the usa where the racist "one drop rule" exists and ironically it is afro american blacks that believe in it and enforce more than white americans. This guy would be mixed in latin america, the UK and Africa. Only in the usa where a mariah carey or this guy is black.

R265 he is definitely mostly white genetically. The hair texture is the first sign to look and not the skin color or face.

Because using mixed race as a separate racial group is more harmful to the African-American community than not. You should read about how mixed race people were used against blacks in South Africa.

Hot black King 👑

R230 average black american is 12 to 18% western European dna and not 30%.

Well, his mother isn't white. That's for sure.

R310 he looks like many of the carribean latino men you see in nyc or florida.

Blatino men

Antonio is a handsome fella. PS: As an Italian-American who is half-Sicilian (other half is Calabrian--OK, might as well also be Sicilian..!), I can assure you that if you are on the Italian mainland and mention that you have Sicilian blood in you, non-Sicilian Italians will make a point of "reminding" you, very quickly, that you are "Sicilian" and not actually "Italian" in their eyes!

Dude looks more Dominican or Puerto Rican than Afro American. And he is definitely over 50% white. Want to know what an actual pure black looks like without going to africa?, google jamaicans or even better....haitians. You can even be here in the USA and find afro american communities, especially in north where they can be reach 90%+ black. I am a carribean latino with mixed heritage (european, african and some native american) and i can say with authority and expertise. And i wish the racist "one drop rule" would fucking end

Pure blacks are almost purple

I'm from Nigeria, there are light skinned Nigerians who are 100% black with DNA tests to prove it. You guys don't know what pure black looks like.

All black people aren't dark skinned. All West Africans aren't dark skinned. You don't need to be part white in order to have lighter skin.

r324 How do you know they're pure? How do they know they're pure? Yes a pure blooded African is very dark

Exactly. There are pure Africans who are light skinned. So much white ignorance here

If they're light skinned then there's white blood somewhere down the line

DNA testing and historical accounts written by European explorers...Igbo people came in light and dark varieties even before Europeans arrived.

Full black men get pissed when you call biracial men black because they feel erased, at gay black clubs biracial guys are treated better/ get more attention so there is an element of jealousy as well I know this because I'm latino and had some similar experiences.

^ This sounds like some southern foolishness.

Every word of R330s post is a projection. A lie to me. See his other posts. He's troubled. He's one of the obsessed who doesn't like this dude Antonio Brown being "labelled" as black. Nonsense is right.

He’s hot and seems like a nice guy. I dm him on his Instagram and responded nicely. I think I’m in love

R333 what did you say to him and what did he say back?

R332 You're insane, go ahead and block me you'll see I only wrote positive things about him. I'm not the one going back and forth here.

"Passing" is what many light-skinned blacks used to do during the era of American segregation and racial classification (like the family depicted in the attached article). However, many other light-skinned blacks refused to pass, like singer Lena Horne.

Antonio Brown is one of those light-skinned blacks of today who refuses to pass, unlike some others, who claim to be of "mixed origins" or "multi-racial." You see people of his appearance doing exactly that on Scruff and Grindr, for example. I call it the new passing. They do it to be considered more acceptable by white people.

I said your post at R330 about black men in clubs being jealous of/or resenting mixed race men was a lie. And stupid too. Only white men have these obsessions. You're all over black threads stating your love for light skin and mixed race black men. So I am not insane R332. I think you are oblivious to your own prejudice and I am being kind. I did read your other posts. Why wouldn't you be "positive" about Antonio Brown? You're obsessed with him. But your comments about "full black men" exposed both your ignorance and racism.

[quote]Where I'm from the black men dont look like this. Maybe I should move to Atlanta.

[quote]He's giving some latin vibes but overall you can't clock him as black.

[quote] C'mon you know the only reason some black folks are light (beyonce for example) is because of white/european admixture. Dont play dumb.

[quote]I fail to see any racist or racism in this thread, quite the opposite, most comments are guys drooling over him.

[quote]His daddy chose to copulate with a white woman and produced this gorgeous specimen

[quote]He's white enough, I'll allow him.

* R335, is being positive.

his nose is ver sexy

Imagine if he was part Native American all along. LOL

He is damn hot, great body and huge dick. 100percent Gay.

R324 it is not the skin tone that matters (although that can count) most but the facial phenotype and hair texture. This guy is clearly mixed and definitely has more white than black. I am a mixed carribean dominican and know what i am talking. The largest mulatto majority country with significant minority quadroons and blacks (haitians at resort areas and elsewhere not included). He can culturally be afro american if he wants though.

[Quote]He is damn hot, great body and [bold]huge dick.[/bold]

You've had him, r341?

I congratulated him, blah blah, and said he provided hope. He said, “I thank and appreciate you” (present tense and classy)

Although I've commented several times in this thread, I don't actually care if he's biracial or not. I was just saying that you can have substantial amount of European DNA and not be biracial in the conventional sense (both parents identifying as black). I've seen biracial people come in all shades, phenotypes, and hair textures. I've seen black people come in all shades, phenotypes, and hair textures as well.

[quote]I was just saying that you can have substantial amount of European DNA and not be biracial in the conventional sense (both parents identifying as black).

Exactly—being light-skinned owing to white ancestry several generations back isn't culturally the same as having a black parent and a white parent, even if you look "damn near white." Ex: Robyn Dixon, one of the Real Housewives of Potomac, frequently gets mistaken for biracial.

The "one drop rule" probably saved the African-American community to be honest. Afro-Latinos are still struggling with identity issues. Americans don't have 1,000 categories for mixed/black people who hope to abandon their blackness.

A light-skinned Black guy gets elected and DL racists on one hand say he’s not black, because they find him attractive, joined by LSA purist trolls who want reorganise the race to exclude anyone with some white ancestry? Lol only on DL. Meanwhile, no one gives a fuck what the guy himself thinks.

If Steph Curry is black, then this guy is black. Lol at the Dominicans and Puerto Ricans trying to redefine race to suit their divide and rule system where black people are classified set against each other based on skin tone. Being a black person in Latin America is worse than it was in apartheid South Africa.

I see no lies R349. And the old white men of DL are too ready to agree with them. They love to classify things.

Antonio Brown says he's black, he identifies as black and he represents black constituents. He's cool and ready to work for all the people in District 3 in ATL. He's sexually and politically progressive and cute as fuck. Speaks well and comes correct. Turns the world on with his smile. He's handsome and that never hurt nobody. Let the dude do his job. You can imagine someone anyway you want, but don't tell a man who he is. So many old white men on DL live in their abstract ideas. Y'all love to caterorize and sub categorize. Organize your preferences. (neurosis)

Don't attempt to redefine a young man or woman of color to fit your fantasy. They encounter your type everyday. Most will politely correct you. ONCE.

Brazilians, Dominicans and other Latin Americans want racial structures stratified in such a way, that black people are at the very bottom based on skin tone, so that they can all have someone to shit on. There is no concept of black pride in those countries and unlike the US where people embrace blackness with pride, they will do everything in their power to deny or negate any black ancestry. For example, the actual black population in Brazil is always underreported because people would rather go to the extent of describing themselves as “sun-tanned” than endure the shame of being black.

When they come over, they find it near impossible to let go of these racial classifications they were raised with and often experience culture shock at finding black people so proud and audacious enough to look white people in the eye and confront racism the way black Americans do. They are also extremely upset to discover that people consider them black. Some even go into depression. During Obama’s campaign, virtually no one in Latin America believed he would get elected.

Here’s an example of what it’s like to be black in Brazil. Notice how even victims of racism aspire to procreate with white people so as to “improve the race”. This is the reality in all of Latin America and the real reason Dominicans are complaining about the “one-drop rule”. They basically want someone to shit on and think being considered black consigns them to the bottom.

It is incomprehensible to Latin Americans that anyone with white blood in their lineage would willingly identify as black. To them, blackness is something to get away from and erased as much as possible. Hence their pretending their issue is the one-drop rule.

Also, no one is buying Mariah Carey as a black woman, no matter what she says. She’s visibly white and passed for years as the white Whitney Houston. But Halle Berry and Alicia Keys are visibly black despite their white mothers.

Mariah is obviously not white

Lipstick alley girls are obviously here

R353 but shes not black either.

And R330 is correct. There are tensions in the black community over color. Colorism is a big thing in the black community

I'm loving this. This guy is screwing up everyone's perceptions of race and sexuality.

[QUOTE]It is incomprehensible to Latin Americans that anyone with white blood in their lineage would willingly identify as black. To them, blackness is something to get away from and erased as much as possible. Hence their pretending their issue is the one-drop rule.

Exactly. With the Latins it’s the one-drop rule flipped: any ounce of white blood and you get to be white. They can’t wait to abandon their heritage and join the ranks of whiteness. Blackness is unique that way.

Black Dominicans traditionally call themselves [italic]indios[/italic] (Indians).

I'm very positive, I made some jokes but I said he's very good looking mixed dude, I dont know what's so offensive about this, I guess I can't compliment one group without the other feeling jealous.

Antonio Brown always had an interest in fashion, and specifically, shoes. As a young man with a love for luxury sneakers and the drive to make something of himself, he branched out from corporate America’s clutches and started his own business, LVL XIII Brands, Inc. As the CEO, Brown has gone from selling one-of-a-kind sneakers to offering various styles of footwear and apparel.

Rolling out spoke with Brown to pick his brain about how he rose from corporate life to being a well-known Atlanta businessman.

Where are you from? I was born in New York City, raised in Houston, TX and then left at 21 years old to Washington, D.C. where I resided for five years before moving to New York for three years, and now I’ve been in ATL for the last two years.

Did you go to school for fashion? Where? I did not go to school for fashion but it’s something I’ve always had a passion for and interest in, though. After investing three years into a company and going through a corporate buy out, I decided to leave corporate America for good and invest my money into myself and start LVL XIII (Level 13). Always having a passion for luxury sneakers and being a collector myself, one day I made the decision to do it myself. I went and put in the search engine, “How to start a luxury shoe brand,” and from there, the Universe started conspiring in my favor and bringing the people I needed in my life in order to make this happen. Now, we’re not just a luxury sneaker brand, we are branching into apparel, oxfords, loafers, sandals and unisex styles.

How long have you been in business? I’ve been in business for over two years, first launching in New York before I transitioned my offices to Atlanta, GA.

Why did you decide to host a brunch/day party and nightclub mixer every 1st and 3rd Saturday in Atlanta? As a CEO, I pride myself in continuing to push the boundaries and perception of what something can be, and for me, there was a need in Atlanta for events targeted towards industry and affluent like-minded individuals. It gives these individuals an opportunity to come together, network and build together as a community. What better way to do this then over brunch and listening to great music? For me, it’s about building long-term relationships and creating dynamic projects together through this outlet of food, music and entertainment.

THE most famous Antonio Brown is smokin hot

R361 yes he is

and R360 wow body!

LETS be honest. He’s the black exception to the “white or latino only” white gays. Dr. Jake would love to shout him out on Insta*then proceed to fuck him*

[quote] well, considering that almost 90% of bisexuals end up in opposite-sex relationships

Baloney! The vast majority of (let's talk about males only here) bisexuals end up in same sex relationships. And that's mainly because 90% (or more) of men who claim they're bi are really just homos who can't or won't admit it.

Shut up r364

He’s the exception cause he isn’t really black r363

No thank you R365.

Let’s talk about his other features. Height? Weight? Any VPL sightings? Shirtless shots? These are far more important

^ I've been asking for shirtless pics cause I couldnt find any but either he doesnt have it or the gays are not looking hard enough.

see R360 for shirtless lol

Want something done right do it youself

you lazy bitches

you're welcome

biceps

lips

so he cut down in recent years compared to R360

ooh a nose ring.

I hope he does a good job and can rise in the political ranks

and damn let's find out WHO HE'S FUCKING

I'm curious to see who he chooses to be his date.

Rise in the political ranks? Lol calm down y'all, he's just a city councilman. Let him at least win a state congressional seat first, then we'll talk about his political future.

He and Mayor Pete would make a hot couple though.

R379 just being young and hot will make him popular unless he majorly fucks up his job. He seems intelligent enough and personable too. If he plays his cards right he could eventually be a House Rep for Georgia or even mayor of ATL. In the next year or so his name will become more prominent

I'm excited for him, hope he doesnt fuck up.

sworn in !

We might be witnessing the political beginnings of a future US President.

From rags to the White House: The Antonio Brown Story.

R360 already featured a shirtless pic of this bro

Any backstory on his scar?

Probably a knife fight.

R358 nothing to do with identifying with indians and such. It just describing the skin tone and color. Only afro americans such as yourself take that term as literally.

It's a shame that all the discussion on this thread is about Mr. Brown's ethnicity and questioning his bisexuality. Fuck all that. Spill tea! Who is he fucking?

Informative video starring some afrolatinos.

Is Antonio afro latino ? Why is this relevant ? Stay on topic please.

I don't know. Latinos in this thread keep acting as if their racial classifications are normal... Antonio Brown is American, not Latino. Latino caste systems do not apply here.

Nice body.

[quote]Latinos in this thread keep acting as if their racial classifications are normal... Antonio Brown is American, not Latino. Latino caste systems do not apply here.

Also, important to note that Latinos antiquated racial caste systems were designed to put dark skinned blacks at the bottom of their hierarchies . Americans are having none of that stupidity. As mentioned up thread, they’re all about black erasure.

Now back to celebrating this handsome black bisexual man and his bright (no pun) future.

YEP, Latin America has perverted color and racial views

The most hilarious thing about this thread was discovering how much internal conflict an attractive black man engenders in racist whites and Latinos, forcing them them to even look up his DNA history in order to explain away the unwelcome attraction to a black man. This thread was such an epic meltdown that makes it an instant classic.

Man: I’m black and bisexual

Racists: No you can’t be because I find you hot. Something’s not right here. Shut up, you’re not black, you don’t know what you are. We’re ready to accept you as honorary non-black because you’re so hot. Man, I can’t stand it. This is a conspiracy to force us to accept blacks. I need therapy.

I wonder if he comes out with a white or latin boyfriend, the meltdown is going to be even greater.

R397 Bravo!

Preach R397!

He is one fine brotha.

He’s not black.

Also, I find the comments about Latin America disgusting. You white trash mofos run your mouth so much without knowing a damn thing

The comments about Latin America are facts.

What's with his hair, it looks weird? Does he have Caucasian style hair?

R404 Caucasian doesn’t mean white anywhere but the USA.

And he has white man hair, white man nose, thin lips, beautiful skin but is “black”.

He's covering a receding hairline.

Still fine af though!

Why are people so mad that he identifies as black? I don't understand. Your opinion isn't going to change how he labels himself.

[quote]He’s not black.

R402 has posted this statement 70 TIMES on this thread!!! He surely is upset about the Antonio Brown situation. Down below. He needs therapy upstairs.

Black is beautiful R402. Antonio Brown is beautiful. Both of them.

R402 is a Latin American. Probably a black Dominican that calls himself “Indio” even knowing he doesn’t have a single drop of Indian blood.

[quote]Also, I find the comments about Latin America disgusting.

They really are disgusting... because they’re true.

Now back to enjoying this handsome light-skinned black man.

R409 most dominicans do have native american ancestry but it is small and is sure a lot more than the vast majority of white and black americans. Another thrash afro american who always has us on your pathetic minds.

Beautiful Black King

Snow bunny?

I love it that he surrounds himself with other prosperous and woke black men

He isn’t black. He’s part black.

Fact is that you drop him in Africa he looks nothing like them and they wouldn’t treat him like them.

He’s black and he’s back!

He's culturally [italic]American[/italic] Black, r415. Or African-American, if you prefer. It's a distinctive culture than those in the continent of Africa.

Also, he looks like many Africans, particularly those who live in North Africa, Egypt, and Ethiopia.

You just don't want him claiming his Blackness due to your own prejudices about Black people, especially those who are dark-skinned.

Ignorant white gay racists

You guys are obsessed with latinos, too bad it's not mutual. And Antonio identifies as black for political reasons, all biracials in politics identify as black to get their vote (see Kamala Harris).

Almost all black-Whitlock biracial People identify as black in America

Black-White Biracial People

[QUOTE]Also, I find the comments about Latin America disgusting.

Was any of it untruthful? Surely you’re not going to sit there and pretend that light skinned Latins don’t love to claim white?

...how in the hell has a thread about a city council election in Atlanta generated over 400 posts?

Some black guys were upset that this good looking biracial man claims to be black while some white men were upset that this hot man happens to be half black.

If he weren’t hot, this would get four replies

Don’t forget the old haters of bisexual dudes

we need to find out WHO HE'S FUCKING

c'mon messy ATL queens speak up

HE’s Above that nasty stereotypical queen social scene. He’s a manly Bi King.

Victory

Was this posted already?

R66 He’s hotter for sure

[quote]You guys are obsessed with latinos, too bad it's not mutual. And Antonio identifies as black for political reasons, all biracials in politics identify as black to get their vote (see Kamala Harris).

Nope. He’d still identify as black if he wasn’t a politician. Not like you Latinos that claim everything but black and think distant white ancestors make you white.

[quote]Some black guys were upset that this good looking biracial man claims to be black while some white men were upset that this hot man happens to be half black.

It should be noted that those blacks are racist LSA purists. Never black guys. Obama has a white mother and never went through this. Neither have Alicia Keys, Halle Berry or Drake. Also, do we know for sure he has a white parent?

Where's the black guy?

R432 The only latinos claiming a distant white ancestors are the black ones, the rest of us are fined being mixed, we get more attention being mixed from both white men and black men.

R383 Omg, that hand wave. Is he camp? I'm here for it.

R435, you must have missed the video at r351, then.

[quote]Some black guys were upset that this good looking biracial man claims to be black while some white men were upset that this hot man happens to be half black.

This thread happened because racist whites and Latinos were unhappy that a black man was stirring their loins. The end.

[quote]This thread happened because racist whites and Latinos were unhappy that a black man was stirring their loins. The end.

Truth.

[quote]I wonder if he comes out with a white or latin boyfriend, the meltdown is going to be even greater.

r398, I'm more interested in the response when he comes out with a wife/girlfriend.

[quote]...how in the hell has a thread about a city council election in Atlanta generated over 400 posts?

I know I can't believe how pressed some people are over this. I mean he's gay but damn. I was shocked at the site's reaction to Jussie too. Either gay black guys are DL's new obsession, or there are just a few trolls who keep these threads going strong.

I wonder if he has any ties to gay porn stars or insta gays?. Usually that’s normal for gay celebrities and politicians

I'm interested in him because he's gay, now into politics and HOT. All the other bs in this thread is shameful

His voice gives me impure thoughts. He could read the tax code and I’d likely faint. The guy is hot. Possible future ATL mayor? Why not...damn, Mr. Brown

I want to be Antonio Brown's Monica Lewnisky.

He’s bisexual, not gay.

Meet Antonio Brown, Atlanta's Youngest And First Openly Bisexual City Council Member

[quote]He’s bisexual, not gay.

Are your saying bisexuals don’t exist?

R448 is one of those old annoying fems

He's probably afraid saying gay will hurt him in the black community.

Too late, r451. The announcer in the video at r430 already declared him as black and gay.

The announcer erred

There is still something strange to me about announcing someone's sexual orientation on local news.

I’m Loving the increasing Bi Black male visibility Right now. The hot bi dude Ari on BET’s Boomerang is really getting a lot of love and attention.

[quote] He’s bisexual, not gay.

He was bisexual to get elected. More often than not men in public positions who claim they're bi do it in order to facilitate an easier coming out as gay eventually. Once people get used to them sucking cock part time it's not much of a jump when they hear he's going down full time later on.

I agree i don't sense much biness in him, all gay.

R457, that’s false.

I want new pictures of this light-skinned brutha.

He looks puerto rican

Some Puerto Ricans are black...

He's cute.Hope he does well.

Some Mexicans are black, some Cubans are black, some Americans are black but when you say Puerto Rican the first image that comes is Ricky Martin or JLo not a black person.

He does not look like Ricky Martin.

He’s the best

He's the spitting image of Jennifer Lopez.

Governing

You guys say something about him being "not black" and then contradict yourselves in the very next breath.

The ignorance about how black Many Puerto Rican’s aww is also astounding. They got those big butts and huge penises from Africa

He’s not even Puerto Rican.

Why is DL so focused on the race of this guy rather than the fact that he is bisexual?

DLers have been obsessed with race lately, R471.

Hmmm for some reason I thought he was Latino, but he very obviously only calls himself black. 🙄

^ You guys are acting as if you just learned about racial classifications today. Racial identity is genetic, political, and cultural. There are Mexicans who look stereotypically Mexican that identify as black. There are black people who can pass as white (e.g. Anatole Broyard or Malcolm Gladwell). There are biracial blacks who have very dark skin and strong African features despite having a white parent. If you have a black parent, then you should be able to identify as black. I don't understand what the big deal is.

I want his other stats: schooling, height, weight, shoe size, preferences in guys, and phone number. Don’t hate me, but I’m kinda in love

If he’s snow queen like Don Lemon I’ll go off him like old milk. But he seems too woke for that, and that makes him even sexier. His type is probably masculine brothas with fros or locks.

He’s a mega star. Stop tearing him down!

He's boyfriend will probably be a well off college educated biracial like him. He needs to keep a certain image if he wants to progress in politics.

*His (I just woke up)

He hangs with black dudes, bruthas. If he likes dudes, they have to be other Bruthas with swag and flava.

[quote]He's boyfriend will probably be a well off college educated biracial like him. He needs to keep a certain image if he wants to progress in politics.

Yeah I can see him settling down with a pretty light skinned twink, and making him his male wife.

I noticed straight people respond better when a gay couple follows their heteronormative dynamics (housewife - working husband) so maybe he'll get a fem twink to cook and clean after him. R481

How hung is he?

He's not black enough!! Too bad he's gay. He'd better not try anything with my straight husband or my straight son.

He’s a passionate hung lover.

I don't know if the other guy is just very tall or Antonio is short

^ they make a good looking couple, even though it's not that.

Antonio invites people to DM him on twitter. Regarding city council.

[quote]Those white People love Italians and Greeks cause they’re not white

They're white, Quan / Omar.

R486 looks like his type. Won’t be surprised.

He definitely identifies as bisexual

Is that hair or shoe polish?

R490. He’s openly black?

Please read the rest of the thread above and stop thinking you're clever. There have been hundreds of comments about his race. Please move on, R492.

But that is shoe polish on his head, right?

Can you be closeted black ?

It's called passing as white, Rose. R495

What cosmetics does he use?

Oh true R496

If he can't choose a sexuality, how on earth is he going to balance a budget?

Well, at least he hasn't come out as queer, I'll take bisexual over queer.

500 posts for a council member?

FIXED: 500 posts for a sexy council member!

bump! I hope his hotness is bringing positivity to the council !!!

Atlanta boosterism knows no bounds. Like the lesbian who broke the gay barrier on Atlanta council he could easily tunr out to be some developers' tool.

Bisexual dream dude

He isn’t black.

Bump

He is hot, sexy and XXL hung. I’d marry him in a minute.

He is hot and successful too!

That’s hot yo ⬆️

Can't you just hear all the "he ain't black" nitwits on this thread if he identified as white?

He's Café Olé black. He's just got a little extra cream in his coffee.

Beautiful bro

any update? I want to see his hot ass move up the political ranks. Hopefully he could eventually be a House Rep

Boss

Award nomination for Civil Servant of the Year

I've never been a bottom, but I think he could talk me into it. Dayum, what a fine, fine man!

Love this thread and love AB!

He's not black, he's interracial.

bump!

how's he doing?

Fine AF

yasss daddy!

NOOOO!

there's a new thread about his indictment since this is almost full
