not true. the one drop rule held in some states at some times and not in other states. the reality was a bizarre set of percentages determining race.

Who cares what color someone is? Don't we have other more important things to worry about?

In 2008, the TV series African American Lives 2 revealed that Freeman's great-great-grandparents were slaves who migrated from North Carolina to Mississippi. Freeman also discovered that his caucasian maternal great-great-grandfather had lived with, and was buried beside, Freeman's African-American great-great-grandmother (the two could not legally marry at the time, in the South).
Is he more white than Warren is Cherokee?
That's the easy part of being GOP... white vs. not white. No heavy lifting reuired.

Some of them. Others I call brown.

The reason why a sizable proportion of black American females are attractive is that they have some white ancestry somewhere in their genes. Compare their looks to the real negro females in black Africa. Ali was able to claim he was ‘so pretty’ as compared to Liston and the likes, was because he had some Irish genes somewhere in his system.
I dunno. Ethiopian women are some of the most beautiful women in the world and Linet Masai is freaking stunning to look at and I'm not even into black women.
I consider him mixed or biracial, not black.

Everyone is mixed race, which is why "breeds" of humans don't exist. Otherwise we'd be on our way to separate versions of human species, which we're not.
Race is a made up and very poor grouping of individuals. Hell "Black" means anyone of African decent. Nevermind that Africa is the size of South America, Europe, the US and other areas combined.
Hayden Christiansen didn't say anything either.
