Hamilton is mixed, not black. His father is black and his mother is white.

Almost all black Americans are mixed to some degree. Hamilton exhibits phenotypically black characteristics like his dark skin due to his African ancestry and that makes him black.

everybody is mixed. And race is a social construct. "black" is a somewhat meaningless and incredibly subjective term.

^ I see how what you said could be understood to mean he was American, i.e., that he was one of the black Americans you were talking about. I hadn't heard of him before today, so I would have assumed the same from your comment. But I also see now how you were using "black Americans" as an example of a similar group to make a point.

Yeah Instrumental was just giving an example of how phenotypes are categorized. It's not like we break things down to alleles and genotypes when talking about these things. Although maybe that's how racism will go in the future....

Surely it's however Lewis describes himself. Either black or mixed race. Anyone know? Either way, I assume everyone in this thread got the right answer.

yes, as non-native speaker the correct spelling in English is sometimes a really hard nut to crack, especially all russian names...e.g. Gorbachev = Gorbatschow in German, Gorbatchev in French, Gorbachov in Spanish and Gorbaciov in Italian....

Hello great Quiz as usual however I think the adjective would be 'sagely' not 'sage' which is a noun that means a wise-man or magician.

The walls of Aphek, Gath, Jabneh, Ashdod, and, of course, Jerusalem also fell after Joshua blew his trumpets — centuries after. In fact, no Biblical city walls at all fell before Joshua did that! Therefore I conclude that tooting the loud cone was the cause of all demolition forevermore.

Re: the swan dress question, in June 2024 Chappell Roan wore two swan dresses for an appearance on The Tonight Show. This is what I thought of first. (I am old enough to remember Björk but didn't get that.) But anyway, the answer is no longer unambiguously a single person.
