It's been a fact in American history that if you had a tiniest bit of black blood in you, you are a 'negro'. That has been (and unfortunately still is for a lot of Americans) a racist way of looking at our social structure. In other words: if you have any black blood in you, you can't be equal to the rest of us, regardless of the fact that one of your parents is white.
So, if denouncing one part of your racial make up is racism, what do we call all these Americans who insist on themselves being 'black' despite the fact that one of their parents is not?
