  • Both whites, black, also hispanics have in some way supported the one drop rule. My hispanic grandmother calls my cuban, and my black father calls me black..its really not even a big deal you know what you are just like any other mixed person does. this video was honestly uncalled for

  • @epiphany740 The One Drop Rule I'm speaking of was historically applied to black ancestry. Your hispanic grandmother calling you cuban is not an example of her enforcing the one drop rule. Cuban is a nationality not a race. You can be of the black race & still be Cuban. At the time I made this video, it was a big deal & it was called for. Unless you know what someone has personally experienced, you can't say whether or not their feelings/opinion on something is uncalled for.

  • @epiphany740 cuban is a race when its the culture you identify with. This is why some bi-racials actually claim one side or the other, because its what they most identify with. Its baffling that people care SO much to me. More serious things in the world to worry about then some one calling a person black. Correct them and keep it moving.

  • @epiphany740 Alright. There is a difference between race & culture, but I'm not going to get into that.

  • Biracial women NEVER want to blame race classifications on evil white men, they always tell black people to get over it just like their white fathers tell black people all the time. I never saw biracial black women as so self-hating until I saw video after video of them attacking black people and defending white people who created all the problems we are dealing with. White people dont care if unarmed black people are getting shot daily for simply being black.

  • @LISTENtotheMANofGOD What does your comment have to do with the video? I know where the classifications of race came from & this video is not about defending a particular race.

  • @briarts - Yet, there are black Iraqis (about 10% of the population). Here is a video: Black Iraqis make Obama a model.

  • In all of my life I've never heard of a white person refer to a 1 drop rule. It's always blacks who bring this up.

  • I always go by what the person looks like if they're biracial and they look white then I would consider them white and the same vice versa. It's not to bee offensive towards anyone thats just how my thought process is. If someone wants to be classified as biracial and not one or the other than I think thats great and I will respect that. Like If I seen you in public I would say this girl is black but I think she is Biracial. Race is such a stupid subject we're all human at the end of the day.

  • I've never believed in the One Drop Rule, never will

  • @chsn09 definition of self hate....

    Self-hatred, self-loathing, also sometimes autophobia refers to an extreme dislike of oneself, or being angry at oneself.

    Now that you have the real definition go read my comment agian. So many people throw that word around and have no idea what their even saying. Nowhere in my comment did I say anything that would lead anyone to believe I have a problem with myself or my race! nice try NEXT

  • @briarts That is true. About 100 years ago under law and clauses Obama would have been considered a WHITE man in OHIO.
