Whites & Asians support 1-drop rule. Sorry
How is she (Mariah Carey) a nut job?

And do you know every single white person and every single Asian person to make such a generalization like that they all of them support the one drop rule (1 drop rule)???

One drop rule is dead. And many times it's black identified peoples and individuals that support the stupid one drop rule.

Many people that are not self identified as white declared themselves white on the census or if people chose not to write anything they'd be tabulated to/by default as WHITE, so Obama allegedly marking down black on the census mean that he does not identify as white or as mixed or all of what he is.

Isn't it against the law to lie on a census?

The intensity and profundity of the historical and social ignorance that is the foundation of threads like these continues to amaze.

It is amazing how many people forget the one-drop rule. Forty years ago when Obama was born, this wouldn't even be a question.

40 years ago?

Hell, we saw Donald Trump question Obama's birth certificate, and his grades, and his book, And he was, briefly, a frontrunner among republicans, for president, based on those words alone. We had Newt Gingrich claim that he was needed to help the NAACP not just be "satisfied with foodstamps".

Let's be honest.

If the President were any guy, walking down the street, most republicans would be as angry as George Zimmerman. We're dealing with people who have been openly peddling white supremacy ever since Obama was elected.

The one drop rule only existed legally in some southern states from 1931 to 1967. Not before or after.

Not too long ago, in some states like Ohio, individuals like Obama would have been considered as, treated as, and embraced as WHITE man.

George Zimmerman is part black, and has mixed ancestry.

Have you ever heard of them adopting the mantle of 'bi-racial'?

Black in the US is an ethnicity, surely a mixture of African ancestry and European or aboriginal American ancestry.

You are wrong legally, historically and culturally.
Wrong. Have you ever heard of New Orleans?
Derek Jeter identifies as mixed race and he clearly is.
