[Note: Personally � I do not agree with much of A.D.
Powell's `political' and other viewpoints --- BUT
she does make some good argument againsts the
`measurements' (i.e. "racial admixture" -- amounts,
percentages, quantums, phenotype results, timing,
types, etc.) of the infamously Racist `One-Drop Rule (-r).
