At least in my necks (plural) of the woods, and I've lived all across the country, if you are part Black, unless you are a really pale version that can sometimes pass as white, the racists hate you as much as if you are 100% Black.
The harsh reality of the situation is that most traditional African Americans -- those with roots here in the U.S. going back more than 150 years -- are not 100% Black. And they don't get any kind of "break" from racist-inclined whites for not being totally Black.
I had a half white - half black girlfriend for years (her mother was 100% white, father was traditional African American), and she talked about being ostracized in some situations.
I must admit I missed the ads where he presented himself as only partly Black, but even back then, I didn't watch much TV. If they did see those ads, it was seen by many as the "Mongrelization Of The White Race" and "miscegenation", and "The Great Replacement"
