I suppose she’s approx 25% white?

25%, if Obama's actual ancestry is what he claims.

During the "Slave" years, a Quadroon (25% Caucasian) was considered legally white in Virginia. Sally Hemmings, TJ's slave, was an Octoroon (1/8 white).

It's been a month since I posted this incorrectly, but I just saw it and figured out my mistake.

A Quadroon is 1/4 Black, not 1/4 White. And an Octoroon is 1/8 Black, not 1/8 White.

Duh.

I shouldn't post when I'm tired.

I'm surprised nobody else caught it. Maybe y'all are just really polite. ☺☻☺☻☺☻
