Re: What are regional cultural differences in the USA?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, he was mixed race -- but so were a very large number, maybe the majority, of "black" former slaves in the US. He was "black" because his parents had been slaves and their parents were slaves (and slavery in the US was racialized ,and they chose to live in a "black" neighborhood and maintain relationships with their black friends and family) even though he looked indistinguishable from or "whiter" than the white-supremacy crowd.

Walter F. White is an extreme example, but not an overwhelmingly uncommon one. One of the things abolitionists liked to shock people with was the very large number of white-appearing young slave women who were sold to brothels. They were popular with brothelgoers because they looked white, but were "really" black and therefore were enslavable and seen as having no intrinsic honor to lose.

us race relations have a long history and it's a history made entirely out of fucked-upness, what can I say.
