And I for one are 100% sure of what runs in my veins and I am no half cast, and thank G-d I came from a people that respects our family line.

Half cast? It sounds almost like a bad thing.
Being mixed is not bad. I once knew a brother and sister that were half White/ half Japanese. They were gorgeous people, truly beautiful. Not only that but in my opinion they have the opportunity to have pride in their European ancestry and also on their Japanese ancestry too.
So I don't see it as a bad thing. I don't know about the half-cast thing it kind of sounds like a lower-cast thing     
because they're "not pure" and we should stay away from them because of "purity issues". I just don't like how this sounds. (I'm not saying you feel that way, I just don't like the way half-cast sounds.)

Besides, wasn't the "one drop rule" made in the US a while ago to consider black people black?
From wikipedia about the one drop rule:

The one-drop rule is a historical colloquial term in the United States that holds that a person with any trace of sub-Saharan ancestry (however small or invisible) cannot be considered white[1] and so unless said person has an alternative non-white ancestry they can claim, such as Native American, Asian, Arab, Australian aboriginal, they must be considered black.

This notion of invisible/intangible membership in a "racial" group has seldom been applied to people of Native American ancestry (see Race in the United States for details). The notion has been largely applied to those of black African ancestry. Langston Hughes wrote, "You see, unfortunately, I am not black. There are lots of different kinds of blood in our family. But here in the United States, the word 'Negro' is used to mean anyone who has any Negro blood at all in his veins. In Africa, the word is more pure. It means all Negro, therefore black. I am brown

Depends on what you want running through your veins that makes is good or bad.

Not anymore!

I got bombed on tequila one night, passed out and had strange dreams about eating licorice pizzas.

When I woke up in the morning, all my Michael Jackson records were gone!

What did Michael Jackson say when he got the body cavity search in prison?


"Wow! Normally I'm the guy with one glove!"

Hey look at what I found in the "one drop rule" article from wikipedia:

This person is considered black because of the one-drop rule:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.K._Butterfield

  interesting.

This guy considers himself to be African-American?   

ROLF! That's seriously one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.  I think it's partly to do with his hilarious name also.

I wonder if he talks black.

Can't always judge a person by appearances, and yes great example of people getting things so wrong.
