😂😂😂😂😂 All black Americans are mixed. And further, this country never had a problem with what to do with “mixed-race people.” If they had one known drop of black blood they were treated as black. Don’t try to change it up now that we’re discussing reparations. Dude, stop.
You can clearly tell when someone is completely out of their realm. If you’re going to argue something, at least have a basic grasp of the history and the facts.
It would blow his mind to learn DNA tests show the typical black person is a quarter white. That’s what 250 years of chattel slavery will get you.
Homer Plessy was 1/8 black and looked white. The Supreme Court ruled he was black enough to have to ride in the black rail car and used that case to sanction legal segregation and usher in 70 years of Jim Crow. But, yeah, what about mixed people. Basic. History.
