Inasmuch as “Archie” is only 1/32nd Black, he’s LEGALLY even on the American Deep South considered to be “white”.
(Whatever “white” may mean in 2019.)
Fwiw, I’m more Native American, being directly descended from the REAL Pocahontas, daughter of Deep Stream & Little Fawn, than “Archie” is A-A.
(YES, I’m a “part-blood” but still am a tribal member with a “roll number”.)
The Native side of my family intermarried in the Virginia & North Carolina colonies in the early 17th Century. - No my knowledge, we’ve had NO “full-bloods” in the family since, other than perhaps some 3rd, 4th or more distant cousins.
I’m NOT “only semi-literate” but rather “have some issues with my hands” (they sometimes quiver/shake) & hit the wrong key before correcting obvious mistakes in my previous post.
(As there is no “edit feature” on Free Republic, I cannot fix my typos.)
SORRY.

I realize that Meghan's mom Doria Ragland is probably mixed race, but how did you arrive at such a small percentage? If Doria is fully half "white" and half "black", the baby would be 1/8th "black."
Personally, I don't care about it. Racial admixture between whites and blacks only become a national issue instead of an exercise of personal freedom if African-Americans start to declare themselves a tribe entitled to tribal lands and casinos—or continue to insist that race, not culture, determines behavior.
