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.

Up here the local native Indians avoid taxes also. To save that 13% on
every purchase would be nice.
I don't care about cheap smokes or liquor. I believe you have to live on a
reservation to avoid income tax.

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

There were the East Texas rednecks who dragged a black man to death
behind a truck. I was horrified to learn that it has been ten years
and the perp is still on death row. They haven't killed him yet. If
ever there was a poster boy for the death penalty, that guy is it. Jim
crow.
