The One Drop Rule

[ChristinaB]

Under the one drop rule, we are all African Americans, we are all hispanics, we are all whatever group you want to apply the one drop rule to.

You would have to be from a tremendously isolated group to not qualify under the one drop rule.

In Europe that would be Iceland - but even there, they are all African descendants and hispanic.

All Asians and all Africans have European ancestors too.

In the Western hemisphere you would have to be pure blood Amerindian, but probably all "pure blood" Amerindians are not really pure blood - they just don't realize it (this includes both continents).

And we are all descendants of royalty, no exceptions. You may not be able to trace your heritage, but it is definitely so.

And I am not talking about ancestors from thousands of years ago. Except the most culturally isolated areas, everyone is descended from common ancestors of about 600 to 800 years ago.

i read this book that said geneticists have found that all humans alive today come from a group of about 100,000 people in one region of africa. wish i had the book in front of me to drop some proper science, but i'm at work.

Thats probably what we call in the industry a "typo" (hopefully)

She said, "And I am not talking about ancestors from thousands of years ago." So I assume she actually means 600-800 years, which is indeed bs.

who cares though?

what if it WAS 600-800, not 6000-8000 years? we obviously all came from africa. is there a point here? like most of your posts, no.
