To me people are people. I don't classify them by their skin color and
it has been proved that blood is blood regardless of the skin color of
the body the blood came from.
I wasn't being accusatory. I was just stating, historically, if you
had one drop of black blood, you were considered black. The remnants
of Jim Crow is still alive and well in this country.
Why did you bring it up?

I didn't, you did, indirectly.

"He's half black and half white. How can he claim exclusive identity with
just one race?"



If I remember correctly, and I think I do because the congressional
record will prove me correct, "Jim Crow" was a product of Southern
Democrats and it took Republicans to pass Civil Rights legislation back
in the '60's. Amazing that all of those Democrats from the South
couldn't be counted on by Johnson to put into law that people are
people.

Yeah, but don't pat yourself on the back too much. In '64, those
southern states may have been blue, but now, they are red.

Tiger woods is more asian than black.
An then there's Halle Berry's famous "women of color" speech at the
Oscars:

Interesting how it only becomes and issue when they *need* it to be an
issue.

"they"??
You're gonna be in for a world of hurt when "they" have one of their own
as president and when "they" outnumber white folk in the US.

Time to start sharing that big income you brag about.
You haven't talked to Hispancs lately have you?
When did I ever "brag" about my income, Donny? Are you basing it on the
fact that my boat simply cost more than yours and I bought it new???

And, WAFI, since I have probably hired more black people than you have in
your entire town, I have to question what your point is regarding my use
of the word "they".


Next you'll be claiming to have 'black people' as friends.
