I praise God for the American "one-drop rule!" By reason of it, any discernible trace of Negro blood, however remote, made one a Negro; even as diluted as 1/8, as infamously was the case with Homer Plessy, in the 1896 decision Plessy v. Ferguson.
In other countries like Brazil, Haiti, Cuba, and many black-enslaved or neocolonial possessions, including Liberia, one found a plethora of legal and entitlements based on skin-color or hair texture or both. Not so, in America, thanks to the one-drop rule.
Whatever one's phenotype, the one-drop rule garnered us all under one Negro banner: from Satchmo to Cab Calloway; Lena Horne to Pearl Bailey. One banner, one blood, one destiny!
All praises are due to the "One-drop Rule" for our sense of fellowship, sense of kin, community, and hope. Moreover to it, our truly unparalleled progress as a new people is due!
They meant it for evil, but God meant it for good! One drop: a lil' dab'll do ya!
