The “One Drop” rule in Black History

[@talishak100]

Some Black American today people go harder for the 1 drop rule then the Confederacy back then. Time to let folks comfortably be biracial and multiracial. 🎉

[@lowki07]

The amount of black people in the states that still recite this as an actual law that is still in place is outstanding.

[@dbd254]

THIS!

​@@lowki07when Tiger Woods got arrested by White cops for drinking and driving and a DUI arrest thr the cops simply found him as Black. Biracial, multi-generationally-mixed people can't do that when it comes to getting pulled over by a White cop.

I agree, but nobody ever goes into detail about who was considered mixed before the one drop rule. Before the 1 drop rule, you wasn’t blk until griffe 75%+(or 75% yt), anything in between was still mixed race/mgm(mulatto). Which is also why you may find when ppl holding on to the one drop rule saying blk Americans mixed race and 70% blk on average, You’ll have ppl who don’t follow the rule and say blk Americans are actually 80% range on average but they includ bi racial (and mgm) in the numbers. I think I’m the only person not hypocritical when I say I don’t support the rule. My grandma clearly mixed race and my grandpa is 61% blk with a 1 drop dad, Regardless of the last yt person, it’s still different to constantly procreate with other mixed race ppl, vs the last heavily mixed person in your family (still half blk range) being a great grandparent.

[@TurnSene]

@@lowki07 I mean the one drop rule is still a rule in America. Why when Barrack Obama got elected as president and won the news and media refered to him as "The first Black President" despite being biracial and having a White mother which makes him half White. Why you think the news and media refer to Kamala Harris as a Black woman despite being biracial and being half Indian on her mothers side. The one drop rule is still clearly used or else they would not be referring to these people I just mentioned as simply Black.

[@watchtonight6178]

I would like to hear your thoughts on the "BROWN PAPER BAG TEST Auntie Bev! Thanks

[@BrooklynNY1979]

Black colorism is one of the SHITTYEST systems within the black community!

[@BeverlyMahone]

I actually did a video on it. Did you see it?

[@janomesteve3129]

The 1 drop rule is a American thing Like in Africa mixed and multiracialy mixed people are not considered black

[@elallen4399]

Rightfully so cuz they mixed 😂😂😂😂I think Americans are not seeing the government is still trying to identify all minorities to keep them in their place thats y they started lummpin black and Latinos as one

[@buckyc.9069]

When slavery ended, a Cherokee family who had a black child, that child was welcomed as a member of the tribe. I think the same was true for all the Five Civilized Tribes. We were way ahead of the rest of the U.S.A. We knew division isn't gonna do anybody any damn good.

[@watchtonight6178]

What I always wondered was WHY did the American Indian have Negros as slaves in the first place? I mean the Native American was looked down upon just as much as the African American by the slavers, so why imitate them with having Negro slaves? Just food for thought.

[@AddisonTenner-le4yr]

Yea until Freedman treaties of 1866

[@Red-Memes]

Hate to break it to you but the native Americans weren’t civilised. They didn’t even have written language.

[@AestheticallyHuman]

The 1705 One Drop Law in the southern states. Very true. I’m so happy to see people explaining it to the young one todays

[@kathleeenmcclintock4931]

It's always amazed me how the slave owner would deny his enslaved children!

[@funkediscofreak]

You spelled "disgusted" wrong

[@clod8]

And sell them.

[@emilyfarris3510]

That's arrogance and ignorance of an entitled group of people to think that you are better than someone else because of the color of your skin.

[@biancalord488]

First of the deadbeat dads

[@ashafenn]

My mother was biracial but i always passed by default. Thank you for this, after i published the book about my family, i kind of stopped talking about it because i get so much grief about how it doesn't matter - i look white - but i've been shot at, had a cross burned in my yard and been told over and over that i wasn't a real person by white relatives, so they could do what they wanted. And i still don't know how hard it is to walk through the world as a person of recognizable color.

[@BeverlyMahone]

That is unfortunate. So much of what happened during slavery bred into our own culture and some people still feed off of it. Thanks for sharing.

[@buckyc.9069]

Carol Channing? Ok. It's just me, but my favorite trifecta has always been, Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughn, but that's just me.

[@buckyc.9069]

Oh btw. I think you are one pretty lady, but that's just me.

[@theloveandshareplace]

When someone told me Carol Channing was Black, I thought it was a lie! But it wasn't! Thank you, Auntie Bev.

[@BeverlyMahone]

No, not a lie and she hid it well. I guess she wanted to make that last TRUE CONFESSION so she could enter the pearly gates :)

[@beththomas6222]

Hey Auntie Bev! Cool Videos! I was wondering if you knew about the Civil War Soldier and Sailor Database run by the National Park Service! Compiled by students at Howard University, it allows Anyone to Find their Ancestors who fought in America's Civil War by their family surnames for FREE!!! Soldiers and Sailors! Union and Confederate!. United States Colored Troops! Try It! It's pretty Cool.!

[@willfulwoman609]

Good video. Thank you.

[@kalinthomas6675]

Thanks, Auntie Bev for that Black History Moment.😊

[@BeverlyMahone]

You're welcome!

[@thetarotdetective3363]

Bob Marley has a song One Drop

[@BeverlyMahone]

He does and I believe it's based off of his own ancestry.

[@lindarosebuchanan1650]

Thank you. My life has been hell. Im more hurt by the treatment and rejection of my family and society. Thank you.

[@Reikialchemieesthetix]

Thank you auntie bev

[@BeverlyMahone]

You're welcome!

[@debbiethompson14]

ME, ME, ME My black grandparents, who were half Irish, would call us their "white grandchildren" but they shunned us really bad. They didn't even have our pictures in a section of their house where they had pictures of ALLLLL their 40 grandchildren.

[@YngBlueVEVO]

Well I'm biracial so does that mean if I'm 50% black does that mean I'm black I usually identify as white but it seems like I can't do that will I guess I'm black even though I know I'm black but thank you for explaining it though cuz my mom be like you can't be white you have to be black because the one drop rule

[@elallen4399]

Ask ur mom why she follow racist laws? Ur mix baby and that is beautiful ❤️

[@YngBlueVEVO]

@elallen4399 I'm not going to lie to you I'm having an identity crisis right now cuz I say I'm white like everyday and I tried to ignore my black side because my skin color is white but I have black features like my curly hair and the rest of my face

[@elallen4399]

@YngBlueVEVO I truly am sorry,I grew up black myself but I know wen I take the DNA I m going to have to say basically I'm mixed too But try not to ignore ur black side, don't be ashamed who u are ,u are not required to start going to BLM protest if u don't want to lol just be who YOU the same person u was yesterday if someone says u don't look black ,f em cuz u mixed a that is all u need to look like.think of like a extra Christmas present u can't see but you know it's there u can still live as a mixed person who has YT culture

[@elallen4399]

@YngBlueVEVO but honestly it's all up to u ,u may not be ready for that yet and that's okay it will just take some self reflection as u get older

[@YngBlueVEVO]

@elallen4399 I guess you're right about that I mean I do consider myself as mixed so I guess yeah that's what I am I think I like being mixed because I am both black and white so I can't say I'm white or black because I'm mixed and I have curly hair and stuff like that but I have white skin cuz my mom I'm only 15 so I still got time

[@guleet75]

Adopt the one drop rule in 1910 ? Really !!

[@StephenBlalock-mi7qj]

Thank you ❤

[@buckyc.9069]

The only part of my ancestry that I know for sure owned slaves is my 1/4 Cherokee, so do I have that one drop? God, I hope so! That would make me feel so much better.

[@CanePollFishermon]

Oh I knew.

[@cloudo75]

Do research

[@RFMvids70]

I have more than one drop however, under Federal Guidelines I'm white. It states those born under European descent are white. I was born in Europe to an Irish mother. 😮😅😂 #RFMvids

[@AAareYasharael]

The Bible teaches the Israelites (🧔🏿👩🏿‍🦱 americans are the TRUE descendents of the Biblical Israelites) NOT to marry those outside our group as it was an abomination. Genesis 24:3 Genesis 28:1-9 Exodus 34:12-16 Deuteronomy 7:3-4 Joshua 23:11-13 1 Kings 11:1-11 Nehemiah 10:29-30 Proverbs 6:24 Proverbs 7:1-27 Proverbs 5:1-23 Tobit 4:12 Ezra 9:12 Ezra 10:11 Jubilees 30:11 Jubilees 22:20-22 Jubilees 25:1-11 Jubilees 30: 5-26
