The one-drop rule was ludicrous. It is even more ludicrous that black Americans cling to it so fervently. What I was writing about in my post may be a uniquely black American trait. It is not that many of us don't have mixed heritage. In fact, I do myself. It is that we often seem unduly more proud of our non-African heritage (no matter how small) than our African roots. Sinistra,
