Or a high-ranking member of the black community and from then on they are entitled to all of the benefits of being an African American in the United States even have the privilege to say the nigga. Referred to as the "black pass" in most cases a ceremony with your African friends will be held.

Someone of another race who has been in all aspects, accepted and regarded as the same, by black people.
