"since under Jim Crow any drop of black blood made you black period."

i think the law was if you were 1/64 black you were considered a negro.

Yes, I think that was the law, in fact about 15 years ago a woman that was I think 1/64 black in Lousiana tried to change the race on her birth certificate from black to white and she was not allowed to based on the law.
