[scaredyclassic]

i think i might be an octoroon, but im not sure what that is.

Not sure about the conservatives, but I’m guessing it has nothing to do with mixed races being “bad.”

This is just a guess, but perhaps white people are sick of the black community trying to co-opt him as being their exclusive representative when, in reality, he’s just as white as he is black — he “belongs” to both groups. IMHO, it’s anti-reverse-racism. 😉

I’m an independent and I like to point out he is half and half – and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I like people no matter what their background – heck, I have several ethnicities in me as well in ancestors of the last 200 years.

I’m pretty sick of everyone calling him black just because he is half-black….why can’t he be called white just as easily?

It seems pretty racist to me to call him black if he has a drop of non-white in him.

Actually, nearly all Blacks who are descendants of slaves have some White in them. Michelle Obama does.

Back then, there were plenty of rapes and interracial relationships on the plantation.

If you look at Brazil, you’ll see a population where Europeans interbred with Blacks and Indians. The same happened to a much small extent in USA.

The one-drop rule was applied by whites to keep Blacks from gaining white privileges and social standing.

I happen to think that people of mixed races are beautiful. Whites are prone to ugly wrinkles and blotches, but Blacks and Mixed have nice smooth skin.
