Logic:  If &#8220;black&#8221; genes alone (no matter how few) make you &#8220;black,&#8221; why aren&#8217;t Hispanics and Arabs &#8220;black&#8221;?  We know the answer, but the logical question is never asked. If you &#8220;look white&#8221; and change the &#8220;race&#8221; listed on your identity documents to &#8220;white,&#8221; does the government throw you in jail?  Of course not!  However, since the question is never raised, the reader is left to scare himself with his own fears and misinformation (like the best horror movies). <\/p>\n<p>Since it has been admitted that the man is no longer &#8220;black,&#8221; what is &#8220;black&#8221; anyway?  Is it just a stigma &#8211; like &#8220;non-Aryan&#8221; genes during the Third Reich?  The man&#8217;s children did not marry &#8220;blacks&#8221; and his second marriage was to a &#8220;white&#8221; woman.  This indicates that, like so many mulatto elites who hang their heads and accept a &#8220;black&#8221; label (while pretending to take &#8220;pride&#8221; in the stigma), he has little or no &#8220;black&#8221; culture (whatever that is).  Also note that he is still nearly half non-European or non-white, but these genes don&#8217;t detract from his newfound whiteness.  Why?  Are the American Indian and East Asian genes socially recessive while &#8220;black&#8221; genes are socially dominant and stigmatizing?  If they are, logic leads us again to question the exceptions for Hispanics, Arabs, etc.  If you truly believe that &#8220;black blood&#8221; is damned inferior, why should you care whether it comes speaking Spanish or English?  Obviously, it cannot be the &#8220;blood&#8221; alone but the identification with &#8220;the Negro&#8221; that is stigmatized. Yet, mulatto elites still teach their children that they must identify with &#8220;blacks&#8221; so their (Caucasian) beauty and intelligence will impress the hell out of &#8220;whites&#8221; and lead to acceptance for &#8220;blacks.&#8221;  Said &#8220;whites&#8221; are assumed to be too dumb or too racist to note the contradiction of using people who are biologically non-black to prove the equality of blacks.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findarticles.com\/cf_dls\/m1248\/11_89\/80497063\/p3\/article.jhtml?term=\">If said &#8220;whites&#8221; note that said &#8220;blacks&#8221; are not &#8220;black&#8221; and say so, they are called &#8220;racist.&#8221;<\/a> If said &#8220;whites&#8221; are racist enough to accept the &#8220;one drop&#8221; myth, why in God&#8217;s name should they EVER believe in the equality of a &#8220;race&#8221; whose genes are so different from those of any other &#8220;race&#8221;?  But most of the racist &#8220;one drop&#8221; folks make exceptions for Hispanics and Arabs, so it can&#8217;t be the genes alone, and we keep going around in a circle&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What makes the battle against &#8220;one drop&#8221; so frustrating is the fact that each author seems free to change the &#8220;rules.&#8221; In this article, we are told that the guy is no longer &#8220;black&#8221;&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7988,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[63,141],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-a-d-powells-view","category-news-clips"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AD-Powell.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p89tuq-1kZ","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5145"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5145\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7210,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5145\/revisions\/7210"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multiracial.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
