To me people are people. I don't classify them by their skin color and
it has been proved that blood is blood regardless of the skin color of
the body the blood came from.


I wasn't being accusatory. *I was just stating, historically, if you had
one drop of black blood, you were considered black. *The remnants of Jim
Crow is still alive and well in this country.


With advances in DNA testing, a lot of people are getting a big
surprise. An awful lot of white people whose families have been in the
US for many generations are finding out they have blood relatives who
are decidedly not caucasian.


My great grand parents were american indian, french, english, irish
and german.
so......

So for the most caucasion with a great-grand father that was american
indian, so I guess I'm Indian if the one-drop rule applies.
