About race… I really am confused
Najua kuna blacks, whites, ukiingia kwa latinos sijui hispanics I get lost… I hear there are black brazilians mara kuna african arabs, african americans it’s really mixed up!!
Then what is the difference between race and ethnicity?
The one-drop rule is a sociological 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) is considered to be black (Negro in historical terms).
The whole idea behind this was to disinherit especially kids born of liaisons between the black slaves and their white slave masters. It basically went something like this:
Black + black = black
White + white = white
White + black = black.
Reminds me of the Story of Thomas Jefferson, former US president. He had an affair with one of his slaves and she bore him kids. He never admitted to this and died but the truth was eventually known more than a century later and right now he has black great grand kids
