I haven't personally but my mom told me that when she was pregnant with me she went and tried to get a part-time job working at the local library and they interviewed her and told her she was perfect for the job and they would love to hire her but they'd been told by the boss that they had to hire an African American. I think also opportunities for ALL kids scholarship/admissions wise can be limited these days with people bent on meeting racial requirements instead of who deserves them. I think colleges/bosses/etc should have blindfolds on when it comes to your skin color no matter what color you are.

Actually the practice was quite common in colonial times.  You usually found a child named for the father and one named for the mother.  It seems to have gone out of practice near 1900.  There is nothing wrong with it.

In the early 1900's when women's suffrage began to help them gain the right to vote.It just would have been something awesome to be a part of.  And the 1970's. Just a powerful decade with all the politics, music, rights movements,etc.And Roe Vs. Wade.

I think a big part of it is because back when racism was still an accepted thing by most people and segregation was all over legally if you had a baby that had even one drop of "black blood" in it that baby was legally clasified as black.

The term "African American" has been in common usage in the United States since the late 1980s, when greater numbers of African Americans began to adopt the term self-referentially. Malcolm X favored the term "African American" over "Negro" or "Black" and used the term at an OAAU (Organization of Afro American Unity) meeting in the early 1960s, saying, "Twenty-two million African-Americans – that's what we are – Africans who are in America."\n\nBeginning in the 1980s, many blacks began to abandon the term "Afro-American", which had become popular in the 1960s and '70s, for "African-American," because they desired an unabbreviated expression of their African heritage that could not be mistaken or derided as an allusion to the afro hairstyle. The term became increasingly popular, and by the 1980s, Jesse Jackson and others pressed for its adoption and acceptance. Users of the term argued that "African-American" was more in keeping with the nation's immigrant tradition of so-called "hyphenated Americans", who were known by terms like "Irish-American", "Chinese-American", or "Polish-American"), which link people with their, or their ancestors', geographic points of origin.\n\nOther terms used at various points in American history include Negro, colored, and black. Negro and colored were common until the late 1960s, but are now less commonly used and considered derogatory. African American, black and, to a lesser extent, Afro-American are used interchangeably today, but their precise meanings and connotations are in dispute.\n\nThe term African American is sometimes problematic because of its imprecise cultural and geographic meaning. The term as originally applied refers to only those descended from a small number of colonial indentured servants and the estimated 500,000 Africans taken to the U.S. as slaves (of approximately 11 million Africans taken to the western hemisphere in general).\n\nIn slightly broader usage, the term can include Afro-Latino immigrants whose African ancestors also survived the Middle Passage, recent African immigrants and their children, with or without American citizenship, but these groups tend to use the ethnic terms Latino or Hispanic, or even Afro-Latino to identify themselves by their countries of origin (i.e., as Dominican or Jamaican instead of African American).\n\nThe term does not include European-African, Indian, Berber or Arab immigrants from the African continent.Thus, even though people like Charlize Theron or Teresa Kerry were born in Africa and became Americans by naturalization, they are not termed as African-American.

I could be that 69% of black families are born out of wedlock. 62% of Black families (up from 23% in 1967) are now headed by single women.
