Rise of the New Mulatto Elite
14th February 2009
Steve Sailer isn’t afraid to point to things at which some would rather not have people pointing.
For a couple of years, I’ve been pointing out that because African-American culture has become so narrow and inward-looking, it’s now having a harder time producing high achievers outside of Officially Black fields such as basketball, football, and some forms of entertainment. Thus, the black race is increasingly represented at the top of many categories by half-black individuals (typically raised by white mothers or white maternal grandparents). Barack Obama is only the most obvious example of the rise of this New Mulatto Elite. (In contrast, the Old Mulatto Elite, such as Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington, generally had white ancestors in the paternal line.)

Bzzt, Not PC, can’t use the “M word” anymore.
That said, I’m still waiting for someone, anyone on TV to call 0bama ‘half black’.
