  The gilded age is one of the worst things to happen to us in American history, but the perpetrators were the wealthiest people in the world and they &nbsp;literally rewrote history and bankrolled every college, politician, medical school and Apothecary in the country. They also built all the public libraries.

  Charles is not functionally Black anymore. It’s time we close the door on this one drop rule. It’s anachronistic and allows anti Black agents into our spaces with agendas that are harmful to us.

  I wonder what the DNA test said?? Because I have been a nurse for years, and I saw a white couple have a black baby, he was outraged, claimed she must be cheating, which she denied, so the doctor suggested DNA testing (before they divorce). .. and it turned out He Had a black great great grandfather he didn&apos;t know about, and after all white children, this one suddenly got the dark skin genes!!!

  The Belle DaCosta Green story would make an excellent movie or series.

  I find it strange that her father would be called a Blk civil rights pioneer , but at the same time was part of and supported a class of Blk Ppl (Blue Veiners) that looked down on and separated themselves from The majority of Blk Ppl. I’m certain they would scoff at the idea of even being called Blk. I’m not proud of “Blk Ppl” that aren’t proud of being Blk. I don’t care what their achievements are.

  It&apos;s crazy because you can see the similarities between Charles and Richard&apos;s pictures. Heart Breaking.

  What’s funny is, I read Charles Mansons autobiography and he as well had or believed to have a black father and that made him hate black people and the reason he wanted to start a race riot. While Bob Marley had a white father and that turned him into a black revolutionary. So I’m really starting to think most of the people that are mixed race either go to extreme hate or extreme love for their race.

  This is Interesting, other black historical figures in America like William Monroe Trotter and Charlotte Forten who also had very light skin used this &quot;privilege&quot; to advance in society but for positive Civil Rights reasons that benefited black people.

  Richard T Greener&apos;s great-grandson is Charles Bausmann, a neo-nazi. Wild.
