The “One Drop” rule in Black History

[@janomesteve3129]

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

[@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!

[@TurnSene]

​@@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.

[@DoubleBeezy]

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.

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!

[@ou8r122]

Why are y'all bringing up all of this one drop rule and brown paper bag test and colored people stuff that's like 70 years old in some cases? Please remember it's non lineage based Blacks that brought this stuff here and because of massive migration we are seeing it rear it's ugly head up again. You can not blame whites when this originated with Black Immigrants looking to get ahead by separating themselves and forming these useless categories to improve their descendants status in this country.

[@BeverlyMahone]

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

[@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.

[@rtisleo]

Lawd Have Mercy... They Done Messed This World Up!

[@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

[@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.

[@thetarotdetective3363]

Bob Marley has a song One Drop

[@ou8r122]

Because it came from those Caribbeans just like the Willie Lynch Letters. Those Caribbeans are nothing more than old Europeans Blacks that were kicked out of Europe into the 13 colonies and Caribbeans because they remain Black.

[@BeverlyMahone]

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

[@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.!

[@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.

[@willfulwoman609]

Good video. Thank you.

[@StephenBlalock-mi7qj]

Thank you ❤

[@kalinthomas6675]

Thanks, Auntie Bev for that Black History Moment.😊

[@BeverlyMahone]

You're welcome!

[@buckyc.9069]

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

[@Reikialchemieesthetix]

Thank you auntie bev

[@BeverlyMahone]

You're welcome!

[@thedancechannel736]

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 :)

[@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.

[@guleet75]

Adopt the one drop rule in 1910 ? Really !!

[@cloudo75]

Do research

[@lindarosebuchanan1650]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@ou8r122]

The rule is still on the books and can not be removed. The "one drop" rule is based on the Black Codes adopted by every state in the Union. If your mother is non black therefore you are what your mother is white and if your mother is black you are considered Black till the one drop. It didn't matter if you were classified as Negro or colored. Under Virginia law of the time, while their seven-eighths European ancestry would have made them legally white if they'd been free, being born to an enslaved mother made them automatically enslaved from birth. Before the American Civil War, free individuals of mixed race (free people of color) were considered legally white if they had less than either one-eighth or one-quarter African ancestry (only in Virginia). Many mixed-race people were absorbed into the majority culture based simply on appearance, associations and carrying out community responsibilities. These and community acceptance were the more important factors if a person's racial status were questioned, not their documented ancestry.

[@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

[@ou8r122]

Including those Black Hamites too. They always steer us from GOD into their religions and pagan ways because of it we are punished. The more these other groups come to America the more they try to Colonized us into their cultures and customs. Black is never monolithic either!!
