Because the leftists use the same system as Hitler. Black genes are considered to fully contaminate the person. So just as Hitler saw a person with one Jewish grandparent as Jewish, Democrats see a person with one black grandparent as 100% black.
The first court case of a white skinned person claiming minority status based on one officially black grandparent should be interesting.
My youngest daughter, born of me (absolute wasp) and my beloved (sicilian/calabrian), was born with a very obvious “mongolian bruise”
google it, friends.
Lo and behold, even though the bruise faded in childhood, in adolescence her hair became so curly/frizzy that she was teased by classmates.
It suggests that somewhere way back when, there might be :::gasp::: some “black” blood in the ancient ancestors. Most likely is the southern italian heritage, but who knows who got sent to Scotland, right? Sicily and Calabria were very close to the trading routes, but the Romans hung out in the English Isles way back as well.
At the same time, my husband has certain physical characteristics that link him to Norman nobility.
So what, and who cares about anything but her character.
Isn’t it interesting that no one thinks that there could be Whites from Kenya? Yes, his father happened to be Black. I’m just saying.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Feds are already ahead of you.
If you can trace your ancestry back to the Dawes Rolls, you are legally Cherokee and the tribe, by treaty, must accept you.
If you can trace your ancestry back to the slave/freedman portion of the Rolls, you get a card from BIA saying you're of African Descent.
It is now nearly 200 years after that census.....
