Millions with Negro Blood

es

Pass as Whites in The U. S.

CHICAGO ~ ANP*~ Bétween~
five and eight million people f
the United States who have Negro blood are known as whites,

- ani from 15,000 to 30,000 Negzo~pass over~ to the white side
each year, so that there is some
basis for the theory that - the
Amé@rican Negro~like the Negrecs ~of England~will be ultirsately absorbed by the~ whites.

This
Asbury, associated editor of Collier~s, On the basis of studies of
census figures and studies by
laboratcry scientists, in the current issue of the national weekly.. article also declares that,
contrary common belief, <

obvious Negro blood,

Eminent American geneticists
and anthropologists ~agree that
the the tale of white couple and

the black baby has a fatal flaw,~
the Collier~s article declared, ~It
could not possibly~ happen. If:

such a child should appear, there
are three explanations: 1, a miracle; 2, ~a fracturé~ of thé Seventh Commandment~; 3, both
parties were really Negroes,

~Here is what, barring divine~

revocation of genetic laws, will
result from unions of whites,
Negroes and mixed- _~ ~ the
article continues:

~1, If one of the partners to
sucm a union is pure white, it is
impossible for the child to be
darker. than the darker of its
parents, The chances are very
great that it will be lighter.

~2. If both parents have Ne8ro blood, whether they know it
or not, there may be some ac

not likely, and in any case will

be slight, If the parents have
bee: able to pass for white, the
child can probably do so too.|
~3. If both parents are malattoe: quadroons or Octoroons ~
ihe. child may be darker than
2ithér parent, But in all likelihoo? it will not be black, Dr
Errest A, Hooton (professor of
anthropology at Harvard uni-|~
versity) has stated his opinion
that ~Negroid features seem to be
attenuated, rather than iniensifed by successive generations of
inbreeding of mixed types.
White features seem to gain On
Negvoid features.~

The article declaves that Negros emphasize that they do rot

~the white man a superior being,
but because of the obvious social |
and economic advantages to be
