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.

Before and during the centuries of slaverAmericana 1492-1864(1964), European, Indeginous and African Asian people had s*xual relationships, both forced and voluntary.
A Founding Father, President, of the United States of America and "genius" of the American Democracy Experiment, Thomas Jefferson either raped or consensually with Sally Hemmings fathered six children of the property of his Wife, Martha Wayles Jefferson; slave Sally Hemings.
Sally Hemings was the property and sister of his wife Martha Wayles Jefferson.
The children of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings were born his Property, as he inherited his dead wife's Slaves.
As his Property/children were seven-eighths 7/8ths European in ancestry, they were legally white under Virginia Law and the Constitution of the United States of America.
is BIA, negro-white-or American people?

AGAIN,
1. tommyJefferson was Raping and Torturing sallyHemmings when she was younger than 16---she had their first baby when she was 17
2. a slave has NO money and in the LES MISERABLES france-----she COULD NOT STAY in France
---- the MASTER of the LOUISIANA PURCHASE from FRANCE -tommyJefferson was only in France for business
Slaver voyages: France, 4,200; British North America/United States, 1,500.
•Slaves transported: France 1,250,000, British North America/United States, 300,000.
•Slaves delivered to: French West Indies: 1,600,000, British North America/United States, 500,000.*
In the history of the Atlantic slave trade, the French turned four times as many Africans into slaves as the Americans did, they used them far more brutally, and French slavers not only got a head-start on Americans, they continued the slave trade -- legally -- until 1830, long after the rest of Europe had given it up. And they kept at it clandestinely until after the U.S. Civil War.

The Second French Empire remained officially neutral throughout the American Civil War and never recognized the Confederate States of America. The United States had warned that recognition meant war.
Between 1861 and 1865, the Union blockade cut off most cotton supplies to French textile mills, causing the "famine du coton" (cotton famine). Mills in Alsace, Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Normandy saw prices of cotton double by 1862 and were forced to lay off many workers. As a result, many French industrialists and politicians were rather favorable to a quick Southern victory.

1778: Joseph Knight was successful in arguing that Scots law could not support the status of slavery.[30]
1780: Pennsylvania passes An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery, freeing future children of slaves. Those born prior to the Act remain enslaved for life. The Act becomes a model for other Northern states. Last slaves freed 1847.[31]
1783: Russia abolishes slavery in Crimean Khanate.[32]
1783: Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court rules slavery unconstitutional, a decision based on the 1780 Massachusetts constitution. All slaves are immediately freed.[33]
1783: Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor issued an order abolishing slavery in Bukovina on 19 June 1783 in Czernowitz.[34]
1783: New Hampshire begins a gradual abolition of slavery.
1784: Connecticut begins a gradual aboliton of slavery, freeing future children of slaves, and later all slaves.[35]
1784: Rhode Island begins a gradual abolition of slavery.

Hmm... The One Drop Rule! I remember that...especially within my family as well as out there.
It seems to me, "A Slave Is A Slave, Is A Slave...Black, Brown, Yellow, Red, or White!
The 'Pen and The Paper' can be a mighty and deadly tool when placed in the wrong hands.
France has its own way of dealing with people who regard themselves as philosophers and/or disciples of the 'Marque De Sade.' France has a reputation for hosting parties for and with the likes of the aforementioned character as well as followers of true to form 'Caligula.'
Would the benchmarking of despicable practices make the blasphemy of slavery or its definition any better?

I stumbled upon this GREAT American Story..that seems, to ME, to fit my Blog Subject
..Enjoy and Thank You Mrs. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
***********************************************************************************************************************
The Atlantic
How I Became Black in America
Opinion by Chimamanda Adichie • 10h ago
America is indeed unlike any other country in the world, not in the kind of triumphalist manner of those
who speak of “exceptionalism,” but because, while it was created from violence like many other modern
nations, it also claimed plurality, an unusual notion for founding a nation. This plurality, this churning mix
of those voluntarily and involuntarily American, living on land that did not belong to them, magnified
rather than diminished identity........
In Nigeria, I had often thought about who I was—writer, dreamer, thinker
— but only in America did I consider what I was.
I became Black in America.
It was not a choice—my chocolate-colored skin saw to that—but a revelation.
I had never before thought of myself as “Black”; I did not need to..
To be Black in America was to feel bulldozed by the weight of history and stereotypes, to know that race
was always a possible reason, or cause, or explanation for the big and small interactions that make up
our fragile lives.
To be Black; was to realize that it was impossible for people to approach one another with the simple
wonder of being human.
....Thank You..
