Passing For Who You Really Are is excellent book. A.D. Powell is prophet and only few people telling it the way it is.  It is collections of essays from Interracial Voice over the years. They are real intellectual treat. To understand the multiracial movement and multiracialism in general, one must read her writings.

In the foreword, Frank W. Sweet, an authority on U.S. racialism writes that Powell is similiar to the great H.L. Mencken. Sweet hits the nail on the head . We need more multiracials along the lines of intellectual giants like Mencken. Unfortunately, we some claiming to represent us who not eloquent, intellectual and brave like Powell, but just plain traitors and cowards. 

Powell takes a bite out those promote who "one drop" rule and myth of the white racial purity. Her main targets are the black elites and their liberal allies who promote these myths with impunity.

In general, Powell is not only a prophet, but also a teacher who is far superior to the hack "intellects" who promote "one drop" and white purity myths. Her poiltical incorrectness is weapon of truth.

My God, how shocking is this? An avowed white nationalist/racist Tom Metzger's once powerful White Aryan resistance (WAR) has this to say about mixed race persons. It is really a sad day when a group like WAR is more cognizant of mixed race people than "American Liberals"....

Those Racism-by-Denial Racists

G e n e P i r a c y

- Is she black, white or other? -

On page C5 of the April 10th issue of The Washington Times is found an article about Henriette Delille, "First U.S. black woman considered for sainthood," along with her picture. But the photo of the would-be saint isn't of a black woman but a white-appearing one.

Another example is the photo and story of Charles R. Drew, so-called "black inventor" of blood plasma and blood-banking innovations--Washington Times, March 3, 1996, page B5. Mr. Drew appears white not black, having Caucasian features.

Then there is the August 22nd, 1999, review of "Homelands And Waterways: The American Journey Of The Bond Family," which book is about a black Englishman who became an American--a "black" man who just happened to have a white mother.

Or one might read the August 29th review of "Love Across Color Lines: Ottilie Assing and Frederick Douglass," which fails to mention that the always-hunting-white-women Douglas was biracial, and which fact makes examination of "crossing the color line" an exercise in deception.

Or consider the 4x5 picture of a white-appearing man, Michael Gray, who is referred to as a "Blackfoot and Chippewaree Indian," in a September 1st article, "Census Bureau makes effort to count American Indians."

Or one might count the number of light-skinned and Caucasian-featured "blacks" passing as Negroid in many TV ads. Why aren't true blacks protesting the ruse and demanding more Negroid faces in ads?—maybe because any re-definition of "black" shifts the definition of "Negroid" (read my essay, "The 'One-Drop Rule' as Two-Edged Sword").

Excluding The Non-Negroid Parent Is Racist

The Negroid race is gradually shifting the historical/anthropological meaning of "Negroid" through gene piracy--calling people born from mixed-race parentage "black" when they have no logical or legitimate claim to that identity (examine the many photos of "black" inventors, military officers, scientists, authors, physicians, etc., to discover the degree of gene piracy perpetrated by racism-by-denial racists).

By purposely excluding the race of the non-Negroid parent -- partly by embracing the "one-drop rule" used in the past by whites to identify those having any African heritage -- blacks rob whites of their contributing heritage and, ergo, commit gene piracy through racism-by-denial.

[Note: Some argue that all humanity has its origins through a black African ancestor, which argument is falsely used to claim that we're all Africans, and which illogical argument could be used to call ourselves "primordial slime." Whites are not Africans nor primordial slime but a distinct race]

Do Blacks Come In All Colors?

Racism-by-denial is widespread in America, where, as Oprah Winfrey proclaimed on one of her emotion- drenched shows, "Blacks come in all colors!" Examples of the absurd degree to which racism-by-denial can be practiced are found within the Native American cultures, where white-appearing "Indians" travel about the country giving lectures on Indian culture and tout their Indian pride and heritage, exhibiting no discernible Indian heritage except their braided -- sometimes black-dyed -- hair and their Indian jewelry.

Do Whites Come In All Colors, Too?

Why don't whites come in all colors? Because whites aren't scrambling to practice gene piracy, lacking any need to uplift the historical/ anthropological record of their race through racism-by-denial.

Coveting Heritable Talents

Racism-by-denial in America is for uplifting the meaning of "black African"--by attributing to that race the talents and abilities heretofore not generally exhibited by them, so that any unusual talents (particularly intellectual ones) displayed by anyone having any black (or any other minority) heritage are called anything but "white" (a majority of mixed-race couples is of black men and white women. Why? Black males' racism against black women? Why wouldn't black men prefer white women?).

Doesn't the white parent of a mixed-race child have as much claim to demonstrable talents in the child as the black or Latino or Asian or Indian parent? Or does the one-drop rule still protect the white race from dysgenic mongrelization--from loss of the white race?

Breeding Different Racial Types

So where do racism-by-denial racists get off excluding a child's white heritage?

Such a child can't be called "black" or "Latino" or "white" or "Asian" or "Indian" because he/she is none of those. Such a mongrel child represents the beginning of a different racial type, the beginning of a unique breed capable of passing along unique heritable qualities in physicality, intelligence, temperament and character.

Racism-by-denial has protected the Big Lie about prominent "blacks" from the time of the talented anti-slave lecturer Frederick W. Douglass to present day "first black U.S. governor" Douglas Wilder (both biracial and silent about their white heritage, to showcase their "African" talents).

Racists' Naming Game

Now why would a mixed-race person not demand that he/she be called, say, "human"?

In America today, having any minority status affords one great emotional and monetary capital--from liberals' deep sympathy for historical wrongs to resulting welfare benefits and affirmative-action quotas (used to displace whites in their own civilization) to the I'd-be-successful-if-not-for-racism excuses, which keep whites chained to nation-and culture-destroying social policies (especially immigration from the Third World, which purpose is for diluting and supplanting white civil society by giving minority men access to white women, whom they lust after).

Talented golfer Tiger Woods is keenly aware of the racism-by-denial naming game by not excluding his black or Asian heritage when asked about his ancestry, preferring just to be himself—which position infuriates all of those racist-by-denial "black" Africans.

Racial Mongrelization Kills Good Civilization

All civilizations are built upon racial homogeneity, shared religion and common language. After rumors spread in the known world about any rise of high-culture civilization, other tribes try scrambling to get there.

I got mentioned! By this site call Mulatto Advocate http://www.mulattoboy.com .  Yess.....

From AD Powell:

[OneDropRule] The ODR in Black and White

The ODR is based on the assumption that opposition to the inclusion of partial black ancestry in whites is totally rooted in the white population.  Black ODR advocates usually try to intimidate others into calling themselves "black" with some version of "When the WHITE FOLKS find out about you..." It doesn't matter if they're talking about people in the public idea - they have no vocabulary outside of threats. Another way to "convince" people they are "black" is to say some version of "You're ugly, dumb, etc. and THAT proves you're BLACK."  If you don't believe this, just read over the years of black pro-ODR messages in "Interracial Voice."  The public challenge of the multiracial movement over the census question, the mobilization of black organizations against free choice in "racial" identity, and the rise in the number of white-identified people who admit to racially mixed ancestry, etc. should prove that the bulwark of what remains of the ODR is the "black" political and academic establishment. 

As for the "white liberals" who embrace the ODR, remember that the inflated moral authority of American "blacks" is their ultimate excuse.  How can I be racist, they say, if I am only taking instructions from blacks?  Of course, the politically correct line is that "blacks" cannot be racist because they have no power.  In the meanwhile, American blacks use their considerable political power AND moral authority to promote racist ideas such as the ODR - ideas that they perceive as harmless to them but a good stick to use against those rebels who want to escape the "black plantation."

Frank mentioned statistics showing the racial identification of children in official white/black marriages.  A child has no control over "racial" identification, but they may change when reaching adulthood and autonomy. (I'd like to know what happened in 1940 to reach that 50% statistic.)  Autobiographical statments from the children of official white/black marriages shows that the "black" parent pulls out all the stops to force a "black" identity on otherwise white or nonblack children.  Jaime sent an article in which the black-identified father was upset when his blond daughter listed herself as white. He then ordered her to identify as "black."  It also helps if the white parent is a doormat who is willing to accept the myth that blacks always know best regarding "race."

The Meaning of Mulatto
Taken from Radcliffe Quarterly Fall / Winter 1997 by Erin Bannister

http://www.mixedfolks.com/mulatto_essay.htm

My mother is white. My father is black. But I have never known what I am. I used to define myself as multiracial, an eleven-letter, four-syllable, politically correct, trendy word. But this changed when I entered ninth grade and my French teacher asked: Who isn't multiracial? So when eleventh grade rolled around with the SATs, I became "Other"-a less-than-romantic, slightly mysterious, but definitely unsatisfying word. However, when I told this to my father, he reprimanded me for not marking black on the test questionnaire. He insisted I call the SAT headquarters to change what I had put. For reasons I have never understood, he firmly believed that the right answer was black.
