Are Mulattoes Black because of the Jim Crow One drop rule or are they mixed?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Egmond Codfried: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [qb] The whole thing is puzzling both from a scientific and sociological standpoint. Take the cases of the Russian poet, Pushkin's LIVING Russian descendants. They are in Moscow today and are INDISTINGUISHABLE from any generic Russian Muscovite. Can they pass for "black" having in their family tree a black man from East Africa--a servant of Peter the Great. Or the case of this white English woman discovered while going through some old family stuff cast away in her attic that she has a great, great grandfather from Ghana who made some local news because he was a good sprinter. Nobody ever mentioned to her that she looked anything but a regular white English woman. Should she now claim to be "black" according to the "one drop" rule. Note that she is not yet "safe" according to the rule. "Safety" is attained only at the 1/64 level or 1/32 on the margin. [/qb][/QUOTE]Long time no see. I feel that the one-drop-rule was the reverse of how the nobility (1100-1848) looked at themselves. The wanted to be Black thus noble. But after they lost out, the Black blood was viewed as some horrible disease, not a mark of superiority. Now the whole thing is used to exclude Blacks from history and the proces which was started in 1848 is nearly completed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
