Let me pose a question that I have always longed for a logical, and acceptable answer.
If a person has a biological black parent and a white parent, why is that person considered black?
This question/situation bothers the hell out of me. My brother fits this profile, and has always considered himself black and has always been desribed, and defined as black. But why? Is he not equally black and white? In fact his skin tone is a light brown - unless he's been basking in the sun. :) His daughter, my niece whose photos are on here, is only 1/4 black, but she is still considered black. Am I missing something here?
To be clear, it's not the issue between black and white, either way it makes no difference... I just want to know what the rationale is with always being determined black. That whole, a drop of black blood business?
