Jesus was black according to Black Hebrew Israelites

Blacks also invented everything and built all ancient societies but whitey took it all away and blacks have never been able to achieve that again for some reason

That’s why Wakanda remains hidden from white folk.

The Pope is the Pope. If you are so obsessed with making race-based classifications, that’s about you.

The pope’s maternal grandparents, both of whom are described as Black or mulatto in various historical records, lived in the city’s Seventh Ward, an area that is traditionally Catholic and a melting pot of people with African, Caribbean and European roots. The grandparents, Joseph Martinez and Louise Baquié, eventually moved to Chicago in the early 20th century and had a daughter: Mildred Martinez, the pope’s mother.

My guess is he's either 1/16 or 1/32 black.

Looking at the portrait of his grandmother online, my educated SWAG is she is at least an octaroon (1/8) or 1/16 black.

Notice how his brother said that they don't talk about the Louisiana branch of the family. They may not have had the details, but they knew something.

Are you mad it’s not a trans Pope so you’re represented?

I use it along with mulatto and octaroon, it's simpler to say mixed race in this day and age because people don't know the family trees like they did in NOLA back in the day of the Quadroon Balls.

He has Mulatto blood from S LA. I am not sure if that makes him black or not. I mean they claim anyone with a single drop (yeah, I am looking at you Obama and Tiger) but I really don't think he has ever claimed "blackness".

Maybe more than that.

His grandparents were white-passing in Chicago but not in New Orleans.

Somewhere between a 1/32 and 1/64 is my guess.
