This post is a partial summary of the preceding post which contains links for some of the information.
The white person's continent is Europe, not American. North America has been a melting pot since the Spanish arrived 500 years ago with African slaves whom they sometimes mated with. The first documented marriage of an African to a North American occurred in Florida in 1525.
In British North America the "melting pot" began a century later at Jamestown. The small populations in the early Virginia communities meant that people often had to marry across the black, white and red color lines. The 1636 marriage of an African man named John Punch to a white woman [who was probably an Irish indentured servant] was not the first such union, but it is one whose descendants have been traced to the 20th Century. Diplomat Dr. Ralph Bunche was one of the dark-complexioned descendants. A Kansas woman named Stanley Ann Dunham [the mother of President Barack Obama] was one of the white descendants. Dunham like the vast majority of Americans with African ancestry didn't know she had an African ancestor.
Later the introduction of permanent slavery included two laws which initially accelerated the mixing of African and European DNA. A child's status as slave or free was determined by the mother's status as slave [including indentured servants] or free. If the child was black it would be a permanent slave. White children would be indentured servants. Some slave owners increased the number of permanent slaves by requiring white female indentured servants to mate with black males.
Subsequent laws prohibiting sex across the color line were generally ignored if the woman was black. The primary purpose of such laws was to prevent free white women from having black babies who wouldn't be slaves.
By 1776 some of the descendants of such "mixed" marriages were able to pass for white especially if they moved to a new location and changed their names. Some claimed they had North American or Mediterranean ancestry. The presence of the albino gene in the African genome could have helped some become white. Most probably didn't tell their children about their ancestry.
During the slavery era some slave owners, including President Thomas Jefferson and his father in law, had slave "wives" called "concubines. Jefferson's concubine, Sally Hemmings was described as white with long straight hair. The children of Jefferson's concubine were eventually freed, left Virginia and passed for white.
As the southern urban population began increasing in the early 19th Century, some slave owners bred light skinned women [fancy slaves] for the sex trade. The end of slavery allowed some of these women along with other light skinned former slaves to pass for white. Prostitution provided an economic opportunity for young black women with a resulting increase in light skinned children who could eventually pass for white.
Many whites who checked their ancestry after the broadcast of Alex Haley's "Roots" were surprised to find that an ancestor who had served in the military had the letter "c" after his name for "colored".
Barack Obama was the first dark complexion president, but he wasn't the first president to acknowledge African ancestry. President Warren G.Harding said one of his ancestors might have "jumped the fence". There is speculation that five other presidents might have had African ancestry: Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, and Dwight Eisenhower. It would be difficult to prove or disprove such claims.
Most parents with North American ancestry probably did not pass along the information.
Most of us who consider ourselves white who have some ancestors who arrived five or more generations probably have at least one ancestor who was North American or African. At five generations in the past you can have 32 different ancestors. I know I have a North American ancestor and suspect I have an African ancestor.
Skin color — is it important?
Everyone on earth originally came from Africa. Perhaps Native Americans should move back there if they have a problem with me being here.
Nope, we’re all human. Skin color in 2017 when basically everyone of every color enjoys the same freedoms as everyone else is just a crutch to blame personal and cultural failures on. Black American culture has failed blacks. But they don’t blame themselves. They blame whites. Same as every other outraged triggered group.
Has the author looked at the muslim colonization of Europe funded and propelled by Islamic nations?
Europe isn’t white anymore and the rights of the indigenous people there don’t exist. “Sit down, shut up, and pay your taxes!”
“Skin color — is it important?”
It’s not just skin color, it’s what’s correlated with skin color, like IQ, and that’s definitely important.
As long as people hide their heads in the sand regarding this inconvenient truth the race problem will only get worse.
Some black radicals will tell you that white people (white demons) are merely a science experiment by a black scientist gone wrong.
White people may be “from” Mother Africa but they are not “of” Mother Africa.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub_(Nation_of_Islam)
Yakub (sometimes spelled Yacub or Yaqub) is a mythological figure of the Nation of Islam (NOI). According to the story, Yakub was a black scientist who lived “6,600 years ago” and began the creation of the white race. He is said to have done this through a form of selective breeding referred to as “grafting”, while living on the island of Patmos.
The Nation of Islam theology claims that Yakub is the biblical Jacob. Mainstream Sunni and Shia Muslims reject this belief, or anything similar to it. The story has caused disputes within the NOI during its history. Under its current leader Louis Farrakhan, the NOI continues to assert that the story of Yakub is true, stating that modern science is consistent with it.
Any history of man that involves identification with anything in the world will be a history of cycles of human on human aggression.
The left leadership knows this and encourages it, whereas being on average more deluded by it characterizes those who follow the left. I consider skinheads, Nazi's and KKK types leftists ... i.e. mobbists ... and all mobs are bound together by a collective delusion of identification in many cases planted in their weak minds by some interest or another, usually a leftist interest. Hitler was of course a lefty.
It's not about form of government (fascist vs communist for example) it's about size and concentration of power and the extent to which that power moves in a direction away from individual liberty and encourages man to become part of a collective ... the existence and size of the mob are the true determiners of left and right.
And though the Little Big Horn was a disaster, for whites and the USA, the Indians won that battle, but LOST the war!
So just WHY are YOU bragging about being part Indian?
It’s not about wanting to live with whites, it’s about freedom of association, something that has been pretty much forcefully eradicated.
“Louis Farrakhan, the NOI continues to assert that the story of Yakub is true, stating that modern science is consistent with it.”
hmmm... in the era of Global Warming Settled Science ol’ Calypso Louie may have a point.
How about the Black Caucus? Should they go back to Africa? How about adherents to Black Liberation Theolgy? Should they go back to Africa? How about the NAACP? Should they go back to Africa? How about the advocates of literally thousands of African American groups? Should they go back to Africa?
Self-appointed black leadership have deceived the black “bloc” just as self-appointed “feminist” leadership have deceived and subjugated women.
NOW defended a rapist and workplace sexual harasser. Even with Monica Lewinsky’s consent it was an inappropriate power relationship. NOW used to be against the boss having consensual weekend trips with his sexy secretary. Suddenly it was okay because the Commander in Chief supported abortion.
NOW claims that a woman’s pay hasn’t changed since they first took up the issue in the 1960s. Well then what HAVE they accomplished that they claimed they set out to do? Besides smashing monogamy and smashing the patriarchy/family?
In the documentary about singer/songwriter Clarence Reid (aka Blowfly) he talks about how the black “leaders” haven’t had the interests of black people at heart. But it was good bank for Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
So Europeans have the right to expel or reject non-whites from Europe? Is that what this leftist wants to argue? There can be only one logically-consistent response: A race cannot “own” anything. Not land. Not ideas. Not other people. And that sword has as many edges as there are different races.
That’s part of the problem with Islamic theocracy. They believe that once a territory becomes “Islamic land” (the type of place captives seized in jihad are taken to be divided up as slaves), it forever is Islamic land. This includes countries far beyond Mohammed’s conquests.
Should I start a GoFundMe for moving me and all my critters to a house, already paid for, in Wales?
Please?
My father-in-law’s grandmother was full blooded Comanche Indian.
I lived among many many Indians during my 7 years residing in Oklahoma. I can assure you the inter marriage is at a huge level there.
Who cares?
That is part of the “we wuz kangs” mythology. Another part is they had “dominion over the Earth and Mars” until Yacub’s blue-eyed Devils stole everything thru “tricknology”.
Not kidding.
