Oh, well. It was just a thought.

I betchya Al stays awake at night fearing that the Thurmond kids will show up one day to repossess him.

Why would they even want to?

Al Sharpton is out to prove himself a bastard ?

That was proved beyond any shadow of a doubt, many years ago...

This isn't even tail-male descent, but a collateral descent from the late owner of the late slave, to the late Strom.

The way Rev Al is carrying on, you'd think he had just learned he was related to the Thurmond family.

Drama queen...but we already knew that.

That's an interesting thought. I bet you that's next.

No, your answer is not exactly correct. A white woman can give birth to a biracial child and a black woman can give birth to a biracial child. I have heard of that rule also, but not all rules are correct.

Because if we used that reasoning than a woman who is half black/half white, could only give birth to a black child even if the father of the child is white. According to the so-called rule, what would Eartha Kitt's granddaughter be considered or what about Victoria Rowell's daughter?

Wake me up when everyone is ready to "self-identify" as "earthling."

Just a courtesy ping to let you know that I nicked that little gem for my tagline. :-)
