One-drop Rule
ReplyDeleteThe one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States asserting that any person with even one ancestor of sub-Saharan African ancestry ("one drop" of black blood)[1][2] is considered black (Negro in historical terms), its implications of racial purity being that anyone unable to pass for white in the context of the US racial hierarchy is assigned the lower status of being non-white or colored.
This concept evolved over the course of the 19th century and became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" and is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status.[3]
The legal concept of the "one-drop rule" does not exist outside the United States.[4] It is defunct in the United States and was never codified into federal law.

Elizabeth Warren Positions Herself as the Front-Runner
The Democratic senator’s DNA test wasn’t a mere rebuttal of Trump. It also shows she’s a presidential contender.

It is a sad day for the Republic and for the truth when a prominent member of the (D) party invokes a rule that was originally designed to segregate, suppress and enslave people in order to advance her appeal as a candidate for President. What does this say for the people, especially for those in the media, who cheer her announcement of a DNA test?

Just imagine if the same litmus test was applied to Adolf Hiedler before his rise to power - his descendants DNA included the haplogroup E1b1b, which...
ReplyDelete"...is rare in Western Europeans but common among North Africans, and particularly the Berber tribes of Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Tunisia. It is also one of the major founding lineages of the Jewish population, present in 18 to 20 percent of Ashkenazi Jews and 8.6 to 30 percent of Sephardic Jews."

Why is Perkins Coie still in business and still holding lawyer licenses?
ReplyDeleteThe bunch should be put out of business and disbarred.
But other than Carter Page's lawsuit, I've read of no punitive action against the firm and its members.
