Despite some initial involvement from David Koepp (who left to work on Panic Room and Spider-Man),[2] the script was written by Robert Gordon and later revised by Barry Fanaro, who added pop culture references, something which Gordon had deliberately avoided.[3] Sonnenfeld took issue with the producers' focus on the love story between Will Smith's and Rosario Dawson's characters, saying that "I learned on Wild Wild West that audiences didn't want to see Will as the straight man. And until Tommy comes back into the movie, by definition Will's the straight man." Fanaro condensed the first part of the film and brought Agent K in earlier.[2] Famke Janssen was originally cast as Serlenna, but dropped out due to personal issues, Lara Flynn Boyle was hired to replace her.[4][5]

Black and white children are born into very different economic circumstances. Almost half of black boys and girls are in households in the bottom fifth of the income distribution, compared to just over one in ten white children:

Using data on 4,200 black and white Americans from the NLSY97, we find that over half (54 percent) of black men born into households in the poorest fifth of the family income distribution end up, as individuals, in the poorest fifth of the earnings distribution for their respective gender, between the ages of 28 and 35, compared to the minority of white men (22 percent), white women (29 percent), and black women (34 percent).

Upon learning of the bombing at the Church, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. sent a telegram to Alabama Governor George Wallace, a staunch and vocal segregationist, stating bluntly: 'The blood of our little children is on your hands." The brutal attack and the deaths of the four little girls shocked the nation and drew international attention to the violent struggle for civil rights in Birmingham. Many whites were as outraged by the incident as blacks and offered services and condolences to the families. Over, 8,000 people attended the girls' funeral service at Reverend John Porter's Sixth Avenue Baptist Church.The deaths of the four girls was followed two months later by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, causing an outpouring of national grief, galvanizing the civil rights movement and ensuring the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

To be considered black in the United States not even half of one's ancestrymust be African black. But will one-fourth do, or one-eighth, or less? Thenation's answer to the question 'Who is black?" has long been that a black isany person with any known African black ancestry. This definitionreflects the long experience with slavery and later with Jim Crow segregation.In the South it became known as the "one-drop rule,'' meaning that a singledrop of "black blood" makes a person a black. It is also known as the "oneblack ancestor rule," some courts have called it the "traceable amount rule,"and anthropologists call it the "hypo-descent rule," meaning that raciallymixed persons are assigned the status of the subordinate group. Thisdefinition emerged from the American South to become the nation's definition,generally accepted by whites and blacks. Blacks had no other choice. As weshall see, this American cultural definition of blacks is taken for granted asreadily by judges, affirmative action officers, and black protesters as it isby Ku Klux Klansmen.

Let us not he confused by terminology. At present the usual statement of theone-drop rule is in terms of "black blood" or black ancestry, while not so longago it referred to "Negro blood" or ancestry. The term "black" rapidly replaced"Negro" in general usage in the United States as the black power movementpeaked at the end of the 1960s, but the black and Negro populations are thesame. The term "black" is used in this book for persons with any black Africanlineage, not just for unmixed members of populations from sub-Saharan Africa.The term "Negro," which is used in certain historical contexts, means the samething. Terms such as "African black," "unmixed Negro," and "all black" are usedhere to refer to unmixed blacks descended from African populations.

We must also pay attention to the terms "mulatto" and "colored." The term"mulatto" was originally used to mean the offspring of a "pure African Negro"and a "pure white." Although the root meaning of mulatto, in Spanish, is"hybrid," "mulatto" came to include the children of unions between whites andso-called "mixed Negroes." For example, Booker T. Washington and FrederickDouglass, with slave mothers and white fathers, were referred to as mulattoes.To whatever extent their mothers were part white, these men were more than halfwhite. Douglass was evidently part Indian as well, and he looked it.Washington had reddish hair and gray eyes. At the time of the AmericanRevolution, many of the founding fathers had some very light slaves, includingsome who appeared to be white. The term "colored" seemed for a time to referonly to mulattoes, especially lighter ones, but later it became a euphemism fordarker Negroes, even including unmixed blacks. With widespread racial mixture,"Negro" came to mean any slave or descendant of a slave, no matter how muchmixed. Eventually in the United States, the terms mulatto, colored, Negro,black, and African American all came to mean people with any known blackAfrican ancestry. Mulattoes are racially mixed, to whatever degree, while theterms black, Negro, African American, and colored include both mulattoes andunmixed blacks. As we shall see, these terms have quite different meanings inother countries.

Whites in the United States need some help envisioning the American blackexperience with ancestral fractions. At the beginning of miscegenation betweentwo populations presumed to be racially pure, quadroons appear in the secondgeneration of continuing mixing with whites, and octoroons in the third. Aquadroon is one-fourth African black and thus easily classed as black in theUnited States, yet three of this person's four grandparents are white. Anoctoroon has seven white great-grandparents out of eight and usually lookswhite or almost so. Most parents of black American children in recent decadeshave themselves been racially mixed, but often the fractions get complicatedbecause the earlier details of the mixing were obscured generations ago. Likeso many white Americans, black people are forced to speculate about some of thefractions-- one-eighth this, three-sixteenths that, and so on....

Not only does the one-drop rule apply to no other group than American blacks,but apparently the rule is unique in that it is found only in the United Statesand not in any other nation in the world. In fact, definitions of who is blackvary quite sharply from country to country, and for this reason people in othercountries often express consternation about our definition. James Baldwinrelates a revealing incident that occurred in 1956 at the Conference ofNegro-African Writers and Artists held in Paris. The head of the delegation ofwriters and artists from the United States was John Davis. The Frenchchairperson introduced Davis and then asked him why he considered himselfNegro, since he certainly did not look like one. Baldwin wrote, "He is a Negro,of course, from the remarkable legal point of view which obtains in the UnitedStates, but more importantly, as he tried to make clear to his interlocutor, hewas a Negro by choice and by depth of involvement--by experience, in fact."

The phenomenon known as "passing as white" is difficult to explain in othercountries or to foreign students. Typical questions are: "Shouldn't Americanssay that a person who is passing as white is white, or nearly all white,and has previously been passing as black?" or "To be consistent, shouldn't yousay that someone who is one-eighth white is passing as black?" or "Why is thereso much concern, since the so-called blacks who pass take so little negroidancestry with them?" Those who ask such questions need to realize that"passing" is much more a social phenomenon than a biological one, reflectingthe nation's unique definition of what makes a person black. The concept of"passing" rests on the one-drop rule and on folk beliefs about race andmiscegenation, not on biological or historical fact.

The black experience with passing as white in the United States contrasts withthe experience of other ethnic minorities that have features that are clearlynon-caucasoid. The concept of passing applies only to blacks--consistent withthe nation's unique definition of the group. A person who is one-fourth or lessAmerican Indian or Korean or Filipino is not regarded as passing if he or sheintermarries and joins fully the life of the dominant community, so theminority ancestry need not be hidden. It is often suggested that the key reasonfor this is that the physical differences between these other groups and whitesare less pronounced than the physical differences between African blacks andwhites, and therefore are less threatening to whites. However, keep inmind that the one-drop rule and anxiety about passing originated during slaveryand later received powerful reinforcement under the Jim Crow system. 2b1af7f3a8
