One Drop Rule

With our new President being a son of a Black man and white woman...people have been feeding on the fact is he really black? I actually had a coworker (of European descent) question why are they calling him a black man and not mulatto? I just wanted to drop a little history, that I am sure we are all aware of; but, in the event we are not...here it is The "One Drop Rule" started during the Jim Crow era in the south in order to further disenfranchise Black people and poor whites. As you know, Black people did not have the same rights as whites...so it just empowered the white middle and upper class. The "one drop rule" stated that anyone with a traceable bloodline of African ancestry would be considered Black. This way of defining Blackness was not the same worldwide, but was determinant factor in the US. The scientist figured that people should identify with their "subordinate" blood. So this is why "one drop rule" was ONLY designated for Blacks ...

Earth travels 25,000 miles a day

Sometimes I just feel as if I am existing. As if everything around me is the same. I wake up to the same routine and nothing has changed. Nothing new...my response to "What'd you do today" ..."Ohh, nothing new...same ol same ol." I know currently I feel like I'm not progressing...I live at home, my job is quickly coming to an end, I have a handful of friends and my BF is in Georgia. I suppose when I was in college, I was always accomplishing something. I was always moving forward. New things always happen. Now afterwards...I feel stagnant...stuck in time My BF asked me last night did I have any friends who had motivations to move forward, goals and things they wanted to accomplished. After thinking about it, I figured I didn't have many. Could my own default be the result of my company? There is some truth in that because I don't have anyone to motivate me in the things that I need to do. I guess I have to start relying more on myself. Make myself in...
