Nope, I completely disagree here. Partly because there are increasing numbers of black people asking us to fulfil some "fantasy of blackness." Partly because black people aren't a monolith who will all agree on "their own standards."

And mostly because defining yourself by the colour of your skin ultimately makes no more sense than defining yourself by the colour of your eyes (it used to be only racists who defined people by the colour of their skin, I wonder how we got so confused about this).

We need to recognise skin colour, sometimes, because there are problems that disproportionately affect black people. But defining ourselves by it? Surely this is the opposite of the goal.
