![]()  The one drop rule is a principle of racial classification that anyone with just one remote black ancestor is considered black. According the one drop rule he is a black guy.

How much far that black antecesor needs to be around for consider itself as "Black".

I go by, "If he looks white, he's white." Plus will you ask every white person if they have a black ancester? I mean you can, but seems odd too.

Dont believe in the one drop rule. This swedish politician who is 1/32 black is white to me. But I saw some people on anthro forums calling him mixed and being pissed that he is a important politician.

I'm from South Carolina where the one drop rule was a thing during slavery days. Its total bull crap created by racist jerkoffs obsessed with racial purity.

Somebody on this page asked how far back one’s black ancestor must be to make the hypodescent rule apply. “As far as the stars” will do, in theory. In practice, state marriage license bureaus in the South usually went back no farther than three generations, to the great-grandparents. Many applicants didn’t even know who these were; things were hampered by lack of vital statistics records before 1912.
I suppose if we went far enough, we’d find we’re all from Africa, where the ancestors of modern Asians and Europeans first stumbled up the Gaza coastline into the Levant about 100kya. (See es-Skuhl Cave, Mount Carmel, near Haifa, Israel.) While I don’t think I have too many, if any, American black forebears, a Native American—one of my paternal grandmother’s great-grandmothers—is documented from circa 1850, although other branches of my family tree are lost in the mists of time.
Indeed, much of what my sidebar profile lists as ethnic ancestry is inferred from ethnic settlement patterns of counties in Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming, and not known directly. The whites in my line seem to have belonged to the working or lower middle classes, therefore unlikely to have kept “Negro” mistresses back in the day, as Thomas Jefferson did with Sally Hemings.

Race is a weird thing, though. 'White' hasn't even meant the same thing through time in the US, much less anywhere or anytime else.
That said, the "One Drop Rule" is just deliberate racial segregation, plain and simple. It doesn't serve any social purpose other than making it harder for "black" people to interact in otherwise perfectly normal human ways with other groups.

Yeah, but the thing is, miscegnation is bad, and if you want, I can bombard you with sources on child abuse, interracial domestic violence rates, and black on white murder rates - like I did the other posts, or you can just accept that and play nice.

Oh, play nice huh? How surprising is it that someone who talks about 'miscegenation' in 2018 being a bad thing also talks like a bully? All that aside, all of those studies do little to prove much unless you can show that this is actually a result of "blood" or genetics and not social institutions; and to do that, you'd have to either define away the possibility of social effects being relevant (not a valid logical move) or somehow figure out how to separate genetic and social effects in human interactions. Further, I find it funny to talk about "black on white murder rates" and "interracial domestic violence", and "child abuse", when these are all things that are historic in the opposite direction - whites abusing, killing, and subjugating blacks, in the US and elsewhere. And as a direct result of these harms visited on a group of people, they are more likely to be involved in crime, domestic violence, abuse, poverty, etc.

Race as identity is contextual. if i have one drop of African blood in my veins i would call myself African if the context is purely African, while i could define myself differently in terms of my geographical, cultural or social identity.

So, if I understand you correctly, one drop overrides the multitude of other drops? Then by that measure, one drop of vodka in a 12 oz. glass of water makes it a vodka drink?

Yes, provided that the glass of water with a drop of vodka in it is to be contrasted with a glass of water with a drop of tar in it.
