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.

"Thinking people" and Democrats are mutually exclusive.

With advances in DNA testing, a lot of people are getting a big
surprise. An awful lot of white people whose families have been in the
US for many generations are finding out they have blood relatives who
are decidedly not caucasian.

There were the East Texas rednecks who dragged a black man to death
behind a truck. I was horrified to learn that it has been ten years
and the perp is still on death row. They haven't killed him yet. If
ever there was a poster boy for the death penalty, that guy is it. Jim
crow.

According to Aitch Kaye, he should be allowed to live and mingle. Perhaps
he just needed a good sound 'negotiation'.

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

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

"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.

Why did you bring it up?

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.

Are you forgetting the "one drop rule"? Or just this country's racist
past?
