re: #198 The Ghost of a Flea

Sure, he wasn’t treated completely as a white, but he wasn’t a black either. Again, one drop of blood rule made it so that a woman who by all our standards was a white couldn’t legally marry a white man. So when such a marriage did happen, since of course there was no way for the man to tell that she had that “drop of blood”, the marriage was later dissolved in one of the infamous court cases. She wasn’t treated as a white, but it would be absurd to call her black.
