I’ve enjoyed watching your videos very interesting and inspiring and then watching this video where you give knowledge. It’s so great well done thank you 😊
Yes it does. But because we live in America, racism is 2nd nature to us. Even when we mean no harm. The 1 drop rule is a racist one based on the notion that one’s white pureness can be polluted by just a little bit of any other race. This woman was a white woman with some black ancestry. Just like I’m a black woman with some white ancestry- no one would look at me and mistake me for white, just like I’m not mistaken when calling this woman white. It’s clear.
No it doesn’t. It means you’re biracial/multiracial and your complexion is light enough for society to believe you’re white. Look it up for more explanation
@@Chee235no. She was Black, Native American, with SOME welsh heritage but with light enough complexion to look white to others. I’m sure you mean no harm but you just erased her ethnicity by calling her “white” especially when she and her family personally identified as Negro
That’s like calling someone like me, whose great grandmother was white, a white person. We’re better educated than to continue that. So she was white. To continue to use racist terminology is silly. And she was not treated the same as black people.
Not all hero’s wear capes! 🥹🥲
Yeah, sometimes they wear tutus. 🥺
I love stories like this.
I look up to Misty Copeland so much. I love the knowledge and work ethic she shares.
Wow.. she didn’t use her “white privilege” for herself, but for her black community ❤
God bless her soul
So inspiring. Each one teach one
This is a beautiful piece of history!! My Gosh!! I must look this person up.

I have a question. If you're passing white. Doesn't that make you...white? I am being sincere.

@Chee235 well put. Real question, would this apply to a woman like Megan Markle or however her name is spelled?
@@reeseb378 But Megan wont pass as White, she looks bi racial to me. So she doesnt look Black but not White either, you can see she has mix.
❤
Realise how airbrushed photos were back then, and then look at her photo as an old woman… it’s pretty obvious Marion had some color in her.
🤲🏽🙏🏽😭💖💖💖💪🏽🙏🏽🤲🏽
Dude. That woman is not black.
looks like she fooled you too 😂
They used the one drop rule then. If you were 1/16 black ,like had 1 black great grandparent then you were black. Back then I would be black too.
She was mixed, are you saying someone who's 1/16th black nowadays aren't black either?
But wasn't the one dro0 rule racist? Isn't that what we still do but in reverse?
