[youtube]dD5M_n3aV6g[/youtube] Thought this video was interesting. You see a myriad of phenotypes,and hues of skin If you search online for pictures of old Black america,you will see that many of the people are damn near white.Interesting how one dropism worked,basically forming the African American ethnic group.The first Black governor(P.B.S Pitchback) appeared white,and could fool anyone by his appearance,but choose allegiance to his Black ancestry,like many people of the day.
Yup...one drop was all it took lol even though like you said, we had (and still have) 'black' people with very light skin. Perfect fuking example of the one-drop rule is Barack Obama, who is mixed, but is considered to be the nation's first 'African-American' president.. am I the only one confused by that lol
True lol Whats funny though,is watching all of the people(primarily white) try to "claim" Obamas white heritage lol Its like,if a mulatto is an average citizen,or a criminal,hes a black Nigger If a mulatto is president,or gets to some other prestigious,important position in society,hes a mulatto(half white) Gotta love that racist logic.
