All societies are ruled by their lighter skinned members, including Negro African and Dravidian South Asian societies. This is not a racist statement but rather fact. When a dark skinned man in a generally dark skinned tribe usurps the rulership of the lighter skinned king, he then marries a relatively light skinned woman

Those rulers you're talking about are darker-skinned, so maybe what you mean is the lighter-skinned have higher status. "Usurpers" may convey the wrong impression too.

Anyway, this is something that happens in Mexico too. Darker-skinned politicians generally take wives from the lighter-skinned social elites.

FWIW: Butterfield probably would have started out in segregated schools and went on to a historically Black college in the area, so if he didn't want to move, he'd most likely be considered Black by his neighbors.

You try to alter what I wrote in order to refute. That’s what Democrats do as a matter of course. It is akin to the Straw Man ploy.
