You are having associations with other races right now, on this message board, on this thread.
What do you mean by "association"?
Are you saying that (for eg.) Fred Hampton was not "pro Black" because he had political associations with people of other races???
My ex-girl's dad (who is white- her dad, not her) visits Mumia Abu-Jamal in prison regularly, once Mumia took both Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan off his visitor's list so as to make room for John Black, cos John Black (an elderly white German guy) had been down with supporting Mumia from day one (he and my old girl were at the first ever public demonstration for Mumia's freedom that I know of). Is Mumia Abu-Jamal then not "pro Black"?
Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman both associated with John Brown, does that make them somehow not "pro Black"?
The Black Caribs of Dominica who are currently trying to stop production of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel to be filmed in Dominica, which portrays the Carib people as cannibals... they are both African and Native American... are they supposed to choose between the two, are they somehow not being "pro Black" by associating with themselves?
My mother's half-brothers and sisters are half-Carib, half-African as well, they grew up as and live as Black people, and (at least some of them) are involved in works to uplift Black people, you might consider them "pro Black", but if they were to "associate" with a pure Carib person (if you could still find one which is doubtful) would that make them no longer "pro Black"?
I think this discussion is like most discussions I have with you, I agree with the general thrust of what you are saying, but you seem to simplify things too much, things are just not always as well-defined and clear-cut as you make them out to be in my opinion.
