Why not? Talcum X (Shaun King) is 'black.' What if I identify as black when I apply? What if I have an ancestor 4 generations back who is black? If my spouse is black? If I have a black child?

Who determines what is black? Just call me Tupac Sugar.

If you spread some black makeup on your face to make you look black, you can become black! Just don’t think about 10 years from now when you get fired for wearing blackface...
