If the point of this is to correct the disadvantages faced by ancestors which cascade through the generations then it should be determined by number of ancestors not a single qualifying ancestor. If I am 2% African American 98% white, and my 2% ancestor was a slave, do I get the same as someone who the majority of their ancestors from that period were slaves? Did our ancestors face the same amount of disadvantages?
- ashwagary 4y agoI believe an enslaved ancestor has to be on a certain census and you have to identify as black on government documents. The 2% claim wont work under these rules.
