If they're all blue, then how did the Fakestream Blamestream Lamestream Mainstream media find it necessary to find the yellow and the black from that blue? It would have been interesting for us to see up front.
Thank you for your response. I honestly did not know that 'One Drop' can determine your Race. Maybe as I have never had that discussion with anyone, especially with my black friends.
What I guess I don't feel comfortable about 'One Drop' is that one may be able to 'switch' his/her Race, depending on the circumstance and whichever benefits most at the time. At least we called Liz Warren out! "One Drop, But Don't Flip Flop" ... hey I made a funny!
PS: you might find it interesting that when my mother was growing up in Nazi Germany, each family had to provide an Ahnenpaß ("Ancestor Pass") to prove that your parents and grandparents were not Jewish. I have my mother's family's Ahnenpaß, and it goes back six generations! Great for Ancestry.com, but not so great thinking you had to prove your 'purity' or get sent away (which happened to many of my mother's schoolmates )
Yea, that’s how the majority of generational Americans view race, though its changing now. It doesn’t make sense to me either.
Wow @ the ancestor pass. Amazing that you are able to trace your family that far back but what a way to obtain it. The Nazis were beyond inhumane.
The one drop rule was a white supremacist rule to identify people who weren't racially "pure" (white). It's beyond me why mixed Americans want to adhere to it.
If he did, that’s good. Thought I read otherwise.
Not sure if mixed Americans want to identify with it. It seems that because they were often shunned by their white (and sometimes other) side due to the ODR, it just became ingrained.

I am a millennial and biracial (half white, half asian). I don’t remember the last time anyone called me a white guy.
Although I got plenty of “look at that asian guy with green eyes”
