one drop rule

since you are from Europe ,you don't know is but,
its not the blacks that started the one drop rule.
it started from the slavery days.Here in america if
this was the 1800's, Marianne Pearl would not be a free woman.and even right now some mixed people wanta play that i'm not really black game.they'll find out if they are black when the police stops them for no reason, they go apply for that job where there happens to be no blacks working,bank loans,etc
In a perfect world , mixed people are mixed.
In this world , mixed people are black.
" here we just assume you need skin that's at least dark brown to qualify " LOL , and what if your
not dark brown and your light brown , what do you qualify for?

Words to live by

"I must admit moreover that it may not be easy, in every possible case, to trace the line of separation between the rights of religion and the Civil authority with such distinctness as to avoid collisions and doubts on unessential points. The tendency of a usurpation on one side or the other, or to a corrupting coalition or alliance between them, will be best guarded by an entire abstinence of the Government from interference in any way whatever, beyond the necessity of preserving public order, and protecting each sect against trespass on its legal rights by others."


— -- James Madison, letter to Reverend Adams, in Robert L. Maddox, Separation of Church and State: Guarantor of Religious Freedom (1987) p. 39
