****************************************************************** I agree. Sign up and stop being anonymous since you can still be anonymous after you sign up. @Pioneer1 You can still share your enlightened thoughts with the rest of us even if this anonymous person books up and never returns. As to the one drop rule, why does it only apply to Blackness, why can't the one drop rule apply to whiteness, like if my great-great- grandmother were white, why couldn't I be considered as a white person? Halle Berry believes in the one drop rule. She is mulatto, had a baby with a white man, the baby is a quadroon, but Halle says the child is Black. But if Halle wanted a Black child, why didn't she get impregnated by a Black man instead of whitey? She doesn't even make sense. ******************************************************************

@Delano, I have not previously commented, and I missed this whole conversation, so it will take me a minute to read and digest this topic.

True that.

*************************************************************************** That's never going to happen, especially not when their website features characters such as Megan Thee Stallion and negroes with their pants hanging down (how long can this disgusting trend last, it's been forty years now). It's like finding buried treasure if you come upon an old copy of Ebony or Jet magazine. Even Essence was great back in the day. Whatever happened to Black Enterprise? That was a must read for anyone aspiring to get into business, wasn't it? Thanks for those links, I'm going to search for that article later today. And thank God for you Troy. What you have done for Black literature, Black books, and Black people is historical and priceless. And I love you for it. ***************************************************************************
