Reply to comment by HeadMacho in Disney+ to develop 2 new Three Musketeers Spinoff Series titled Milady Origins, and Black Musketeer by GamingSince1995

The book was written by a Black man, my friend. A French Black man during the 1800s. Very much a real thing and like the author, they were able to rise in society.

It’s a thing racists used to believe; that if you were say 1/8 black and 7/8 white - you were black because being white was about being ‘pure’ there was even a slur for people who 1/8 black (Oct*roon).

Thing is now that there is a very strange culture that is now using minority status as some kind of social currency - people are reverting back to the one drop rule without realizing its history.

People who are 1/8 black claiming to be ‘black’ but not white only really makes sense if you see white as some kind of default that gets changed or corrupted or whatever by other blood.

In reality being white or black or whatever is really just a pile of genes that originated from some region, and even then ‘white’ and ‘black’ are social classifications of a mix of a variety of ethnicities that don’t really make sense fo all group together the way we do.

So someone that is half black and half white should be referred to as both or mixed- because erasing their white half is really cloaked in racism.

I don't think they're serious. I'm "some dumbfuck American"and have never heard of it.

In fact, it does by all legal metrics.

You're being downvoted by racists who deny history.

They are not just ignorant shit stains denying history such as the "one drop rule". By every modern legal test in every developed country, being 25% black means one is legally defined as black should one choose to be so on the census or for other legal reasons.

I don't really expect sad incels to be astute enough to know these things.

What do incels have to do with this at all? Or are we just at the “fling random insults” stage in this… “conversation”?

I mean, that’s fine and all, but once you decide to do that, you should really let people know so we can just skip to the [ignoring-you-and-letting-you-rant-to-yourself-about-unrelated-things] part.

It’s very annoying trying to talk to someone about something like this, and you just shout “incel!” Do you think trying to convince these people by calling them incels helps your argument? Or were you just regressing back to middle school?

If you can’t not insult people when they disagree with you, stay out of the conversation. Thanks.

Racist is not descriptive enough for those that deny history and legal reality because of their racism.

My main issue is just the continued spin offs.

Couldn’t give a fuck about the black author or the books.
