What's the most recent date you see in the One Drop Rule wiki page? Even given that, only a few states ever used it. And none, nor the federal government, has used it for almost 80 years. We are equal but we're not equal here. Our equal protection laws are written in a way that they can exclude people which means new laws must be made simply to protect them. We did a stupid thing and wrote our laws as incusive lists instead of just saying "all citizens". Not so long ago, for example, in many states if you discrimated against someone based on their sexual orientation, there were no repurcussions. What gay pride movements simply wanted was equal discrimination protection that is already afforded everyeone else. They weren't asking for more severe punishments, greater punitive damages or anything like that. They just wanted the same thing others had....why is that seen as demanding privilege? |
Man, I'm not talking about it as a law. I'm talking as in USA it being accept that as long as you have a drop of a blood from some ethinicity you could identify yourself as of that race.
IF a law is written in list format (white, black, yellow, and forget red or any other skin color someone wants to say he is) then it's right to ask for the change of the law to remove the list and have all citizen (in Brazil the constitution is for all people, and even so the minority groups fight for special threatment as a mean to solve perceived inequalities).
And some of the discussions I have seem on BLM and feminism were asking for white man to pay for the issues of the past that they didn't cause to people that didn't suffered.
