Is race about what color a person is or about how a person perceives and conforms to what society tells him he should be?
This week we'll discuss The Civil Rights Movement. Why did the Blacks allow the Whites to rule over them without fighting back?
The absurdity is that a person can be enslaved because he has the slightest infusion of black blood, and ancestry becomes a basis for nobility. A person can also be enslaved simply because he believes that he does not belong to any culture or country. At some point in the life of a black person they must make a choice of who they want to be regardless of a past history or the absence of one. Do blacks despise history because they feel that they do not really have one? Or, do they embrace their African American heritage. And what about the mulatto? As a mixed-race people they have a legitimate claim to belonging on both sides of the color line, unless we apply the “one drop rule.” There is often a discrepancy between appearance and reality: a person may look “white” while being “black.”
