You mulattos are actually less than half cause of slavery.


:runs after using a slave word:

So if black folks are 3/5 a person then I'm 3/10? So you need me, @smorriso, and Queen Mamadala to round up to one?

Right? Can someone check my math? irishbride2

Wait, or am I more? Half of me is 3/5 and the other half is 1/2 a person? 3/10+1/2=4/5?

FRACTIONS ARE HARD.

Here let the math teacher help you
(3/10) + (1/2) + (1/8) = 37/40 or 0.952. Basically one whole person.

LOL!!!  Is that the dark brown one in the clear jar?  Some of us knew the wonders of Jam early on and therefore never had any use for that brown gel that flaked.  

/flips weave

My youngest sister used to put so much Jam in her hair it did.not.move. She put it in her eyebrows too.

On her eyebrows though? She must have looked a shiny sight!!!

STOP IT. SHE DID NOT.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE NO MAMA!!!

[MeMyselfandI]

I'd say I'm half since my father is black but the genetic test says I'm 34% African.

[NitaX]

Checking in. Forgive me. I'm running on CPT. But, basically I got held up because folks expected me to work on a Friday. WHERE THEY DO THAT AT?

[wesleycrusher4ever]

I'm young, gifted and black (and usually a lurker)

I could totally do that dance, I rocked that in elementary school. Of course I credit the 4% African & Native American vs. the 96% Nothern European part of me, lol.
