There was no option, before the end of Chattel Slavery, other than ODR.American singer Keyshia Cole has released seven studio albums, one extended play, two mixtapes, 24 singles (including 11 as a featured artist) and thirty-one music videos. They were even considered human to them, even though your ancestor carried their genes. Those OTHER folks did not embrace your ancestors as family. Technically all ADOS are mixed, but when it comes to the legacy of ODR it's referred to as admixture, it doesn't matter what the continental origin percentages are. If you have a non-ADOS ancestor, since the end of chattel slavery, that is when you can start implying that you're mixed (racially and/or ethnically). Because, post-slavery, their Belgian forefather would have been documented as an immigrant (with the place of origin noted) and white on some sort of government documentation. It's when, post-slavery and, for example, during the early industrial age, when a Belgian immigrant male arrives here solo, finds him a colored or mulatto woman to common law and have kids with, under the radar, and those children transcend into the Black race because it's pre-Multi-racial movement and the societal norm views people as creyola.that type of lineage could go back and say - I actually come from a mixed-race background.
Interestingly, the US flag was flown at half-staff for her upon her death. She's related to the Calhoun family (they were colonial-era slave owners), one of whom served as US president. EVEN THOUGH, Lena Horne could identify her fully white ancestor through name. Which made her, NOT MIXED RACE, but black as the legacy of the one-drop-rule applied to her and other uninterrupted generations of chattel slavery. I believe Lena Horne's fully white and native American ancestry also occurred BEFORE the end of chattel slavery. In many cases, they don't even have a name to identify those ancestors.

They have about half-to-lower-than-half continental African origins, plus middle-phenotype features, yet they come from fully black lineages - meaning, their fully white or Native American ancestry came about BEFORE the end of chattel slavery. I think Vanessa Williams would also be a good example of this. Two examples of this are Robyn and Gizelle from RHOP. This makes you just Black because those other social race identities (within your bloodline) did not accept your African/BLack descended ancestors as one of their own. You can have that same admixture, yet your non-Black (etc.) ancestor(s) existed BEFORE the end of chattel slavery. The social race documented history of your lineage would determine whether or not you're a mixed person. ancestor and have the same amount of African ancestry. You can come from consecutive negro/black/colored/mulatto generations since the end of chattel slavery and have no race identity heritage from a non-Black, non-Negro, etc (since the end of slavery). Mixed is an inherited social race identity.
