It doesn't, and didn't. The "One Drop Rule" only applies to blacks.
Note the "Pocahontas exception".

I didn't bother reading it due to it being irrelevant to me.

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.

Why did you bring it up?


I didn't, you did, indirectly.

"He's half black and half white. How can he claim exclusive identity with
just one race?"



If I remember correctly, and I think I do because the congressional
record will prove me correct, "Jim Crow" was a product of Southern
Democrats and it took Republicans to pass Civil Rights legislation back
in the '60's. Amazing that all of those Democrats from the South
couldn't be counted on by Johnson to put into law that people are
people.


Yeah, but don't pat yourself on the back too much. In '64, those
southern states may have been blue, but now, they are red.


With a few more gaff's by Obama about his Muslim Faith and those blue
states will turn red. I guess you missed George Steponopolis
interviewing him today. Obama and Biden have a habit of sticking their
dicks in the door jam and slamming the door on it.

Tiger woods is more asian than black.

Oscars:

Interesting how it only becomes and issue when they *need* it to be an

"they"??
You're gonna be in for a world of hurt when "they" have one of their own
as president and when "they" outnumber white folk in the US.

Time to start sharing that big income you brag about.
You haven't talked to Hispancs lately have you?

When did I ever "brag" about my income, Donny? Are you basing it on the
fact that my boat simply cost more than yours and I bought it new???

And, WAFI, since I have probably hired more black people than you have in
your entire town, I have to question what your point is regarding my use
of the word "they".



Next you'll be claiming to have 'black people' as friends.


You really are an ass.

Could be if you go around calling these friends...them, they, those people.
How are you getting along with your Mexican neighbours these days?

The county closed two of the places down as unsanitary and in violation of
zoning and building codes.

Life is much healthier around here.

What is wrong with referring to friends as 'they, them, or those people'?

Several of my friends threw a birthday party for me when I turned 60. They
put a lot of effort into the party, and I'll never forget them. Those
people were great.

I think maybe you are overly sensitive. Pronouns are not intrinsically bad.

Thanks.


But, why the snippage? Information overload? Did you not understand how
'they, them, and those' could refer to friends?
