As the demographics change the DA’s must also change. So if a racially representative group of DAs is working just fine upholding the law at one point and the population of the district changes, some of the DAs will need to be fired for being racially unrepresentative. Yes, they need to be dismissed because of their race. (/s)

What about folks like Obama? Does he count as “White” or “Black”?

Do we need to revive the Jim Crow or South African Apartheid percentage scales?

Who is Black? One Nation’s Definition by F. James Davis

F. James Davis is a retired professor of sociology at Illinois State University. He is the author of numerous books, including Who is Black? One Nation’s Definition (1991), from which this excerpt was taken.

Reprinted with permission of Penn State University Press
The One-Drop Rule Defined

“To be considered black in the United States not even half of one’s ancestry must be African black. But will one-fourth do, or one-eighth, or less? The nation’s answer to the question ‘Who is black?” has long been that a black is any person with any known African black ancestry. This definition reflects the long experience with slavery and later with Jim Crow segregation. In the South it became known as the “one-drop rule,’’ meaning that a single drop of “black blood” makes a person a black. It is also known as the “one black ancestor rule,” some courts have called it the “traceable amount rule,” and anthropologists call it the “hypo-descent rule,” meaning that racially mixed persons are assigned the status of the subordinate group. This definition emerged from the American South to become the nation’s definition, generally accepted by whites and blacks. Blacks had no other choice. As we shall see, this American cultural definition of blacks is taken for granted as readily by judges, affirmative action officers, and black protesters as it is by Ku Klux Klansmen.”
