One Drop Rule, Negro'blackWhiteRedYellow' and other American RACIST Ignorance
The poet Langston Hughes wrote in his 1940 memoir:
You see, unfortunately, I am not black.
There are lots of different kinds of blood in our family. But here in the United States, the word 'Negro' is used to mean anyone who has Negro blood at all in his veins.
Early BIA member Ramonet Harris once wrote......
"in urban communities education is nowhere near equivalent to those in suburban or rural environments."


The one-drop rule is a sociological and legal principle of racistly ignorant classification that was historically prominent in the United States of America; asserting that any person with even one ancestor of sub-Saharan-African ancestry is considered to be Negro.
This concept evolved in the United States of America over the course of the 19th century and became codified into Law in the United States of America in the 20th century.
It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status.
