conveniently black 

A light skinned or mixed African-American who tries to pass for a colored race or ethnicity other than black. He spends most of his time with white people because he thinks it will allow him to advance professionally. The only time that he will spend around African-Americans is when he is trying to prove to white people he can be down and fly.

Lavon has always been conveniently black. He never hangs with us unless his white friends are around to see him. If we weren't football players, he wouldn't even acknowledge our existence. fake, high yellow, black on demand, uncle tom, brown paper bag, sell out, wanna-be

conveniently black 

Fair-skinned African-Americans or ones who are mixed who try to pass for an ethnicity other than African-American when it benefits them socially or professionally, but then surround themselves with African-Americans to look down and fly, also to their advantage.

Yeah, I know Tyshawn. He's one of those brothers who only hangs with the brothers when no one is looking. He's conveniently black, he spends most of his time with the white kids and says he's Samoan.
