If the one drop rule was devised by white supremacists to maintain division on the grounds of racism. Does that make anyone who adheres to this rule a white supremacy racist? So was Obama the first black president or the first mixed raced president? If you think the former does that then make you a racist?

One drop ruled in in early 1967 as invalid /1967 WAS 57 YRS PAST ! as not a law not based on science long ago ! after dna was discovered and broken down ! THE ONLY FOLKS bringing up one drop in 2024 is DSBM wanting sexual access to MLS women. No we are not blk nor white nor we ID as either = deal with it folks !

dark people don`t come in all colors these people are mixed race

Would be interesting to see a comparison to other similar rules around the world. for example South Africa and the separation of people considered "Coloured" from mixed parents and developing another race/class. Humans are Barbaric creatures, and the acknowledgement of the White Purity by anyone with one drop of black blood is absurd. What i think is even worse, are those that are proud to live by and enforce this race/class separation.

Our genetic our reccesive, so he still looks black. Unless they look white they’re Black

Probably 99%+ of the US are. Makes labels silly. It's all about nurture.

If all of America was to have a DNA test you would find at least 25 to 50 percent of the entire population would not qualify as white under the one drop rule.

If every document and application wouldn't ask about race or ethnicity, maybe things would be different. Theres never a check box for biracial

I knew about it all my life. People say, what is your race or where are you, what are you is code for this

Wow 👌🏽 👏 👍

so what do you do if they classify you as white sometimes , I had a big fat w on there before , if not that then Hispanic then Arab different people see different things , depending on their experience and intelligent internationally its different because white people in Europe are much darker , wavy curly hair especially the south , with ad mixtures . in south America (Latin America /Brazil)who's white and who's black is different in Asia the same even in Africa some small town cops is not the world in regards to whos considered what but at the end a black person is 4d hair African features dark skin and anyone claiming black outside of that is stealing from actual black people experience

The one drop rule is delusional thinking and bad math..

biracials should debunk that rule, but they would have to fight for their own space in America, and make a category of their own right. Only in the US do they refuse to give biracials their own space, characters in movies. in turn erasing their unique experiences and the blk ones. I believe everyone should be proud of their born differences and not be bullied into categories given because of constructs but should be okay with sitting in their genetics and who their father and mother created them to be,. How unjust was it of her mother to lay with a blk man have a child which no one forced her to go to a lesser type of black man that would leave her, then deny her daughter access to part of her heritage while because of her skin she can hide her child when she feels like it. How selfish is it to deny someones Wytess or what ever ness because you feel it should be so.That is my opinion and I am not biracial but it would definitly cause less of an identity issue, Biracials do not look full black and they don't always look passably white. So why can't they check their own box and have their own space that speaks to their experience? Also black people should not shame biracials for saying they are biracial so they can feel adjacent to wytness. It is so exuding low self esteem and self hate. mixed race and biracials never feel pressured to choose your sides they all are you and if Blk people can make a space trans, Jews Italians why not you. as lone as everyone is respected and treated fairly

Biracial people claiming black have white suprematist ideology

👍✋Extra Good job 👌🤝 Wow. Great view, I love to see new places 👍 Great movie 👍 Bravo 👋 And I have a new movie from a walk around the city 😊 Yours sincerely, DJ Janusz from Warsaw Poland 🇵🇱✋

Yeah, y'all are black and that's it. Who gives a crap if you are a "mixed" person?

Love this rule

u like msty playz fortnite plays????

You see it as a so called bad thing I see it as a good thing .Jacob have I loved

I have more white and half white in me than black. Sometimes I act like a white person. Sometimes I act Asian and some times I act black. I don't lean with what black people say because I try to balance myself with all races. That means I have nothing against white, black, nor Asians because they all apart of me. I think we are all a big family. Know matter what hate goes on we are gone be brothers and sisters forever. Black people tell me things like white people put us through slavery. I'm like it's said and done I have to move on. My family is everyone I don't care what the next man said about me.

so white blood has NO POWER???? THATS WHY WE HAVE separation of love

She’s clearly not white

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing interview !

This woman is clearly racist im not going to apologise for my skin colour ever to anyone

Wait I'm 1/8 nigerian so does that mean I would be considered coloured back in the day? I'm pale as fuck

What a bunch of Bullock

What a load of BS

They white race on a ticket?

Thats sad! Denied inherited truth of her birthrites! I need her to write about how she actuall felt unfolding...a lie!!

She's a very beautiful girl that's what I would notice

Just now?

I feel so blessed to have been able to see your performance of One Drop Of Love at Santa Rosa High School in 2015! Both your story, and your telling of it have been very inspirational to me. The following year, my daughter experienced discrimination and multiple traumas, and as we try to heal from these experiences, I’ve been inspired to express our family’s story through a personal storytelling performance piece, which I am starting to write. I think back to my memories of your performance, your story, and how influential it was to me, and I hope to also be able to tell our story of one more perspective into the need for our society to develop not only tolerance but also compassion for people who are different from ourselves. Thank you again for your beautiful, inspirational story!

So, my paternal grandfather was half Black and Half Native and my paternal grandmother was Scottish! My dad is a quarter Black, Quarter Native and half White. My maternal grandfather was Brittish and Native and my maternal grandmother is White. My mother is a quarter Native! I'm no mathematician but that would make me predominantly White with Native and African ancestry! The cool idea about race is how it came out through the physical form. I have the Native eyes, big bottom lip, button nose, thick brow ridges. I don't have the face in the back of the head but I have a bump! I had an olive skin tone, curly, afro hair! I had a high top, and also got my hair braided when I was younger. I was told by many that I had "nice" hair! All throughout my life I've self identified with Black because my godmother (who was Bajan Canadian) taught me the importance to preserve my African heritage and the triumph of how they (North American Blacks) overcome a period of oppression. She would teach me about different people who fought for Black equality before there wasn't any and how I had just as much a right to be proud of my Black ancestry as much as someone who is darker than me. Unfortunately, all throughout my life, people would scoff at the idea that I was Black and test me by saying the n-word! Regardless of what I self-identify with, the outside world sees me as something different. Back during slavery, when the world wasn't so global, I would have been identified as Black by society but now that we live in a world that is much more global, the new meaning of Black is whether or not you're dark enough others would say you were! Funny enough or ignorant enough, I think it's interesting, some people think that I'm Mexican and Hispanic! I get Filipino, Arabic, Greek, Italian, Russian, Brazilian, Native, Half Chinese, some people tell me that I look like I have some African ancestry but I think it's just to prevent further conflict. Either way, your race shouldn't define who you are so don't let it!

Only in America 😂

First of all, the premise of identifying the human race or species is wrong. There are no black, white, red or yellow people. We all come from the same source that is the homo-sapien of East Africa. Our human ancestors, due to the ultraviolet radiation from the sun, were dark brown. Eventually, some of them left the continent and spread throughout the world where the UVR wasn't as intense causing people to become lighter. We are hues of brown from the darkest near the equator to the lightest toward the North Pole. By continually accepting the term "white" and "black" only reinforces the definition that has been created by the early European anthropologists of the 19th century. It may be convenient. It may be a simple way to define the human race but it is all a ruse. We as human beings are more complex than we'd like to believe. And for those men of science during that particular period, it appeared to be a way of showing Europe as the dominant, superior tribe.

If you're a mixed person in America you will without a doubt find out about the one drop rule when these brain dead people end up calling you black.

when the cops came back to rhe car he put Black SIMPLY because there wasnt NOT an option for Mixed race people, it doesnt take a genius to figure that out! If she spoke Spanish or Portuguese the cop would circle Hispanic/ Latino! Not a smart girl in her analysis/ observation!! LMAO

only Black people embrace it due to low self worth in being Black and self hate issues! What a stupid rule being embraced! Imagine most Mexicans and other Latinos, Whites,Asians, Pacifi Islanders, Middle Eastern people all claiming Black due to a little Black blood and entering contests, scholarships, grants and getting awarded due to that, Blacks( predominately Black) would be all left behind and stay at the bottom of the totem pole ! They would riot! LMAO

Garfield Bulldog!

While known as a playwright and actress, I see Fanshen as a social justice activist who uses the medium of theater to deal with the complexities of race. One Drop of Love is inspiring, thought-provoking, a good mix of serious and humor...it is life changing. The play causes you to evaluate your own personal story around the issue of race. Fanshen...you did you thang...we thank you!!!

I wish Americans would just identify as being American

About the racist one drop rule!!

So nice to see how you've been enriching your life and the lives of others. I think of you often -- getting to know you at GCC was wonderful. I've told my beautiful granddaughters about you and wish they had met you. Both are at college now (UChicago and Simmons in Boston) and remind me of you in many ways. I'm just a vagabond now. I've spent time in Wasington, Alabama, California, and on the side of an Appalachian mountain the last year or so. I'll keep up with you via your vlogs and videos. Glenda

BOOK REVIEW: "Cosmic telepathy seems at work between native son James Baldwin of Harlem and native writer LM ARNAL across the fog of the half century. I can´t help but hearing his echo in ARNAL´s latest work, as this precocious, peripatetic, child of the flaming 1960s follows in his footsteps to confront the heart of darkness in the lower depth of white Europe and America. With the debut of ´Third World USA´ ARNAL looms as a digital-age harbinger of the unfolding Obama century on a global scale. A poet of sustained outrage on myriads of social action fronts who dares the proposition that the dream of a child of the African Diaspora is as precious as that of a king, a queen and a president." -K. W. Lee, Pulitzer Prize Winner, journalist, and Lecturer at UCLA, USA.

There is no race!!! We are all Homo Sapiens came from Africa. "White people" are just Homo Sapiens who live in the cold. Also genetics has recently shown that Eurasians have weak traces of Neanderthals in their DNA. Other than that, the only differences between us are cultural. This "race" thing is stupid, it's the start for racism and hate: A WAIST OF TIME FOR HOMO SAPIENS

My first time is today 08/02/2018. This rules looks crazy to me

Yoooooo!! Sounds really fun. I might give it a shot in August even tho that’s gonna be a crazy busy/stressful month lol. See if I can’t get Chandra, Kelly, Rudy, and the CSRD crew to make some guest appearances. 😊
