“99 % of American Negroes are, in fact, on average 25% white!”
Would that be like a quarter-kracker but 3 quarter-blacker or am I reading too much into this factoid?
Slavery was in America jus’ all over the place for a long time. After Independence we began the long, slow work of getting rid of it. In the meantime I don’t think the slaveowners in New York and New England were known as ‘kraker’ or even ‘yankee’.
