For decades now White Americans have been subjected to demands from Blacks, who have sought apologies, compensation, and reparations for slavery. Yet, in a country where there is a 'one-drop' rule for racial classification, and where Blacks have on average 18-20% White ancestry, this raises some interesting questions, as a Black man with seven White great-grandparents, and even fifteen White great-great-grandparents is classified as Black, and is therefore considered eligible for Affirmative Action, even though he could well be descended from both former slaveholders and from former slaves. In my article for The Occidental Observer, I explore the limits of Blackness, and propose that African Americans, especially those who are Black for a living, should demand racial purity from each other.
