OK, just read this article & google "one drop rule". It is a thing.The one-drop rule is hardly the one America lives with!! That's just silly.
The actual rule is that if you can tell they're black, yep, they're black.
Lots of "one-drop" people "pass." May not even know: I've always had my suspicions about Jimmy Carter's big lips, myself.
Two things are true.I'm being nice in this OP because I don't want a mod to lock it for an "unclean start"....
So IF Hillary announces she is running for president in 2024....and she is a lot more visible lately...and who else do the dems have to put up in 2024.....
View attachment 568439Hillary Clinton Opens Up About Trumpâs 2024 Presidential Prospects on ‘The View’: “If He Wants to Be the Nominee, Heâll Be the Nominee”
“We are still in the midst of a concerted, well-funded effort to undermine American democracy.”decider.com
...and if Trump runs and gets the GOP nomination (there are more Trump flags in my area now than in 2016 or 2020...looks like Kyle Rittenhouse and Trump are a popular duo....ala Batman and Robin...
...so who would you vote for in 2024 between Trump and Hillary?
No, it's not a thing. The article you posted gave as examples known mulattos: half and half races. That's hardly "one drop"!!OK, just read this article & google "one drop rule". It is a thing.
IMHO we need a better definition of "mixed race".
‘One-drop rule’ persists — Harvard Gazette
Harvard psychologists have found that the centuries-old “one-drop rule” assigning minority status to mixed-race individuals appears to live on in our modern-day perception and categorization of people like Barack Obama, Tiger Woods, and Halle Berry.news.harvard.edu
How can you call something you place in the future "true"?Two things are true.
Biden will be president in 2024.
And Trump will not be president in 2024.
I think you are half right, neither Trump nor Xiden will be elected president in 2024Two things are true.
Biden will be president in 2024.
And Trump will not be president in 2024.
The 2020 census showed big changes in the multi-racial population. I still think black multi-racial is much larger than 1% while the black only population is much smaller than the 12% that they self-i9dentify as.No, it's not a thing. The article you posted gave as examples known mulattos: half and half races. That's hardly "one drop"!!
This country never bothered with anything beyond what people looked like. It IS, after all, a very conspicuous look, to have a black genetic admixture of any considerable amount. An octaroon (1/8 black from one grandparent) could sometimes pass, and I don't think there IS any word for 1/16 or further.
But you got me thinking. That IS what the Nazis did in Germany --- they traced basically everybody's ancestry to find Jewish descendants. Back to grandparents, IIRC, I don't know if they went further, routinely. But they could trace ancestry: because of excellent German record-keeping.
Yet another reason to hate datamining, it occurs to me.
Very interesting post! I think my math was wrong above --- 1 grandparent black is quadroon because that's 1 in 4; 1 GREAT-grandparent is octaroon because there are 8; one in eight.The 2020 census showed big changes in the multi-racial population. I still think black multi-racial is much larger than 1% while the black only population is much smaller than the 12% that they self-i9dentify as.
2020 Census Illuminates Racial and Ethnic Composition of the Country
Today’s release of 2020 Census data provides a new snapshot of the racial and ethnic composition of the country.www.census.gov
Actually datamining isn't as accurate as DNA testing. The DNA testing can nail the percentages of each race. For example, I was informed that I was 0.01% Ashkenazi Jew??? WTF? Anyway, that still leaves open the "percentage" needed to be a single race, or multi-racial. Is 90% white and 10% black white, black, or multi-racial? How about 95% to 5%?
You see the point I'm trying to make. I agree with you that the "One drop" is outdated. But for the 2030 census, I think they should add some DNA metrics.
Just an FYI one great-great-grandparent would be a "hexaroon" or 1/16.Very interesting post! I think my math was wrong above --- 1 grandparent black is quadroon because that's 1 in 4; 1 GREAT-grandparent is octaroon because there are 8; one in eight.
I agree with you, it's an interesting situation, and now with this DNA analysis, it's different.
I'm pretty sure "hexaroon" is NOT a thing, however.Just an FYI one great-great-grandparent would be a "hexaroon" or 1/16.
1/4 = 25%
1/8 =12.5%
1/16 = 6.25%
Its a hypothetical poll IF Hillary runs AND gets the democrat nomination.Did not vote in your poll because she will not be running. so your poll numbers do not reflect an INDEPENDENT view.
Nancy is 81, she will run for her district, but will NOT run for Speaker.2024 may be a little late.
But it's not too late for the old bitch to move to California and inherit Pelosi's seat and entertain demented thoughts of also inheriting Pelosi's throne. The first part, yeah, imaginable. The second? Remember, 2022 comes before 2024.
It may not be, but I'm not aware of any other prefix that denotes (16) except HEX or HEXA:I'm pretty sure "hexaroon" is NOT a thing, however.
