thats retarded, what about all the white slave masters who raped black slaves? Reasoning for mixed/mulatto children who were ostracized for being of White and Black ethnicity. You cannot say the official reason was that- Tell me where you read that shyt.

you must be referring to darkwingduck. no doubt she had seen lynchings and was coloring the song with her experience.
