The "1 Drop Rule" explained and how it's tied to AfroAmerican identity

[IllmaticDelta]

Unfortunately because of slavery we all have white ancestors.

Yes

People who are black have a small percentage of Caucasian in them

yes and no. Some can have about 5% and other's can be over 75%

, a biracial person however would more then likely have majority Caucasian DNA considering there would be a small percentage from there black parents and a large percentage from there white correct?

The typical Biracial in America is starting at around atleast 60% white but this is where genotype and phenotype don't always correlate. Take Lauren London (American Biracial) for example.

^^her parents

Never passes for the American perception of biracial even though she's pred white genetically speaking. Compare to Monica who has 2 "black parents" and is probably between 20-35% Euro

But all that is irrelevant because black people don't have to claim biracials if they don't want to.

In America, you can self identify as any way you please but in the end, ancestry, physical features and shared cultural experiences influence how one will identify.

Actually, in the United States, biracials under the age of 18 are what their father is.

After the age of 18, they have the option of self-identifying.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Because we don't want people who don't look like us representing us,

They do look like "us" (other aframs)

you trying to claim white people as black proves you got self hate and no black pride.

They aren't "white" and they had/were apart of "black pride"

No blacks outside the U.S. claims the one drop rule, nobody in the world in any race claims one drop rule except AA's.

Simply not true.

Black Americans didn't assign anything to this man. His family self-identified as black. His parents could have passed. They chose not to.

He was called a ****** in the halls of congress damn near everytime he spoke. He took that L for his people.
You're showing your ignorance on this man, so I'll post this video for you to learn.



Get at me when you finish watching or don't get at me at all.

No he was not black

He was simply mixed or mullato. End of story

So this is an American problem, and something I can't correlate with

 

[How Sway?]

If mullatos culturally identify more with african americans that cool and all

But that doesn't mean they're fukking black. period. They're just mixed

 

[notwhoiusedtobe]

Are you some type of forum notary public?

Saying end of story doesn't make posts official You can view him how you please, I have no qualms with that. But the man identified as black, was treated as black by whites, was/is viewed as black by black people and has gone down in the history books as black. So, for me, that's good enough

You can say that ACP was a mixed African American, obviously he was, and so is Condoleeza Rice. But would you call her that, though?

Eta: While I'm at it, would you deny this woman the right to call herself black because she's mixed?

 

[notwhoiusedtobe]

Yes

yes and no. Some can have about 5% and other's can be over 75%

According to this, the percentage for African Americans usually looks like this

• 77% Black Africa
• 21% White Eurasia
• 2% Native America

 

[IllmaticDelta]

He his not black.

No because the previous 150+ years that created the "Afram" identity can't be reversed, which includes the colorline, one drop and jim crow laws

Origins of African-American Ethnicity or African-American Ethnic Traits


The newly formed Black Yankee ethnicity of the early 1800s differed from today’s African-American ethnicity. Modern African-American ethnic traits come from a post-bellum blending of three cultural streams: the Black Yankee ethnicity of 1830, the slave traditions of the antebellum South, and the free Creole or Mulatto elite traditions of the lower South. Each of the three sources provided elements of the religious, linguistic, and folkloric traditions found in today’s African-American ethnicity.30

Denying him his "blackness" isn't going to change the reality of how the Afram ethnic group/identity was formed and came to represent "shades of blackness"

1. So the fact that he was treated as blacks by whites means that black people should automatically view him as such?
2. Yeah Condoleezza rice is mixed knowing what I know now. If she hypothetically speaking looked more white she'd still be considered mixed

• 77% Black Africa
• 21% White Eurasia
• 2% Native America

That's the avg. The range is different, meaning one person could be 50% white and the other can be 100% African but if you avg the 2 people they would avg to 25% caucasian and 75% negroid meaning the 2 person sample contains a range from 0-50% caucasian or 50-100% negroid.


For example Louis Gates is 50% Euro

-->mother was 40% Euro


his father/paternal aunt were 60% Euro

other paternal ancestors

 

[Yup]

If you don't sit your willfully ignorant Canadian ass down. You want to cape for black people who don't want to be black and dismiss black people who are proud to be black, I see you...




I told you to watch the video first or keep quiet. But since you want to use arrogant cac tactics - cactics, if you will - and purport to know more about African Americans than actual African Americans, you will now be ignored for trolling.

I don't cape for people who don't want to be black or white people who claim being black. He is not black and you and the op are a fool.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Neither do I. I ready pointed out the different between white people and fair skinned blacks.

[Yup]

my mom is light skinned black anf she is still black. These are white people masquerading as black due to US twisted ideology of one drop rule...it is nonsensical and stupid. Now i see why colorism is so entrenched in aa society...when you have black people calling whites black.

 

[notwhoiusedtobe]

1. So the fact that he was treated as blacks by whites means that black people should automatically view him as such?

You just going to cut out the rest of what I said to make a false-point, huh? I never said that, but I did say you can view him as you see fit.

2. Yeah Condoleezza rice is mixed knowing what I know now. If she hypothetically speaking looked more white she'd still be considered mixed

Cool, but being mixed doesn't mean she's not African American, does it?

And maybe you didn't see the pic of Ms. Corinealdi, who's also mixed, but I doubt you or anyone else would say that she's not African American, would you?
