Just curious, guys... what "color" is half-Black?... and half-White?... and how is it that a paternity (blood) test can determine the accuracy of the father of a child by 99.9%?... but a maternity (blood) test can only prove the likelihood of the mother of a child by about 80%?... A blood test can't tell paternity or maternity. You're thinking of a GENETIC test. Those tests may take blood, or skin, or bone fragments, or hair, or any number of other biological samples. Usually, they take DNA samples from multiple types of cells. You are also wrong about the accuracy of maternity testing, it is also accurate to about 99.99%.

AB tries to blow another one by us again and fails again. If you use “African-Americans” and “Black Race” as your search criteria, which you did, you will get results such as you have posted above which conflates black and race. From that, you have extrapolated that “Black” is a race. It is not. ”Most anthropologists recognize 3 or 4 basic races of man in existence today. These races can be further subdivided into as many as 30 subgroups.
Ethnographic division into races from Meyers Konversationslexikon of 1885-90 is listing:
• Caucasian races (Aryans, Hamites, Semites)
• Mongolian races (northern Mongolian, Chinese and Indo-Chinese, Japanese and Korean, Tibetan, Malayan, Polynesian, Maori, Micronesian, Eskimo, American Indian),
• Negroid races (African, Hottentots, Melanesians/Papua, “Negrito”, Australian Aborigine, Dravidians, Sinhalese)”blog.world-mysteries.com/science/how-many-major-races-are-there-in-the-world/Notice that nowhere in between the quotes does the word “Black” appear. That’s because “Black” is not a race. So AB, your credibility takes another hit because your research, such as it is, is driven not by a desire to get at the truth but by a need to bolster your own high opinion of yourself. Truly a sad situation. Look... you guys call 'em what you want... when I was growing up, they were called Nigg**s and Colored people... then they wanted to be called African-Americans... then just simply Blacks... I'm satisfied with that... I do have enough respect for their race to refer to them as Blacks (proper noun)... if you choose to call them Negroids, please feel free... I'll continue to refer to them as "Blacks"... because that's what they seem to be preferred to be called... If you don't like that... just take a leap... no problem here... There's a difference between culture and science. You might want to look into that when you stop squirming.
