There is no one drop rule in society in 2011. That's a mental block in your head. I haven't had a white come up to me and ask if I'm black in years. If they ask what I am, I tell them I'm mixed.
Just remember this though. You want to marry a white woman. Your going to have kids. Those kids are going to be mixed like me. You can pretend there black and deny any whiteness they have, or you can wake up and understand just how large the mixed community is in 2011 and introduce him to other mixed kids, instead of forcing him to only identify his blackness.
Your mindset is an insult to white women. Yea, lets just not even recognize the kids whiteness. One drop society, your black son. What idiotic logic.
You mispeak, my friend. The one-drop rule does still exist in the minds of many older blacks in 2011. I dated one such man. It should not exist, may be a better way to word it. These attitudes are taught and learned. Until they cease being taught, the mindset will still remain.
I believe that individuals of mixed parentage need to define themselves in whatever way they choose. Personally, I think a bi-racial individual is blessed to have such a heritage, but I know that's not a popular thought, even in 2011.
