Blacks have dominant genes, while whites are recessive.

dude, there's no mystery. even if the person doesn't look black. as soon as he says there's a drop of black blood in him, then he's considered black by society (hence the one-drop rule).


the reason i typed the question is because it gets us thinking about how society thinks and things like that, not because i was really wondering about what's black or white. it's just strange how when a child has a drop of white blood, the child is still black. but when he/she has a drop of black blood, he's automatically black (even if he/she doesn't look it).

Dude, LOL! you can't have a universal statement valid only in one society - or a couple! The statement is culturally biased! What society?
Maybe, that's the point I'm trying to make!

we're not here stressing to figure out the point you're trying to make. i'm sure you know what you're saying.

but the point that matters here is that when i posed that question, i wasn't expecting an answer (nor could anyone give me one that covers it all). all i wanted was for people to think about it and move the thread along with their own questions.

That's not an answer! I can easily say the same about your point of view! What would be the point? What would that prove?

Should reality always conform your expectations? That's a serious ????
Aren't we always surprised when reality proves to be different than our expectations?

That's exactly what I did, but I'm sorry that my thinking failed certification by the competent authorities! LOL!

look, first, please don't think of comments on your posts as judgments on your thinking.

Second, you simply missed my point and I tried several times to explain it to you. However, you keep going off on a tangent and try to start an argument with me, when I had no intention to argue nor to present this topic as an argumentative one. You ask me to define this society I speak of, you indirectly call me an idealist, when you know very well that the french guy you brought up would be classified as black by anyone here who believes in the concept of racial difference, etc. Would you prefer that I limit my def. of society to the American one I referenced in this case? If that would help, then by all means let's do so.

Why didn't we sell Ararat factory to say Italians rather than the pompous French?

Why do people keep hating on you, and keep giving you a hard time, for no reason?
