<p>Do you consider yourself to be black? If your answer is yes, then in 99.99% of cases, yes, you are black, and none of our opinions on the issue matter, nor should they. If you don’t consider yourself black, then again, in the vast majority of cases, no, you are not black, and again, none of our opinions matter nor should they.</p>
<p>If you are still personally sorting out your racial identity, then ask your family members what they consider their race to be, and considering that it’s just a form and not your formal declaration of self, follow from what they say.</p>
