I’ve heard it said that even a 7% black ancestry defines a person as being black.
This appears to be of importance to the race pimps
than to reality.
Much advantage to being part of an oppressed minority
in our segmented political system. Only whites need to
be color blind; or else be deemed racist.
This is both in the eye of the beholder and in the mind of the person of mixed ancestry.
Sally Hemmings, Thomas Jefferson's slave, was an Octoroon (one eighth black). There was no such thing as a 1/16-aroon, so the children of a white person and an Octoroon were considered white. After the US stopped the importation of slaves from abroad, there were slave-owners who feared the loss of slaves over time due to mixed breeding. Hence the notion of “even one drop of black blood” making a mixed-race person black. Both of those concepts are archaic, now. Barack Obama does not present himself as a Mulatto (the original term for half-black/half-white), he presents himself as black, with virulent, black-racist attitudes, even though his mother is white and he was raised by his white grandparents. What he has become is what he has chosen to become based on the values he has chosen to internalize.
A lot of people think that the hideous venom spewed by Rev Wright is marginal. But it is the same hatred and nonsense preached in black churches around the country, and even by black teachers to black pupils in public schools. And it is the tip of the iceberg. It is no different than the kind of stuff with which the Palestinians brainwash their children against the Jews.
That sounds like something the Klan came up with. LOL! That would mean a person could be 93% white and still be considered 100% black. Absurd!
