Show me were any of these statutes were struck down?

Loving v Virginia (1967) had the effect of not only striking down antimiscegenation laws but also finding laws relating to the "integrity" of races to be repugnant to the US Constitution. Check out footnote 11 to Chief Justice Warren's opinion. Http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=388&invol=1

This does not change the one drop laws which are mostly used on a state level. It only allowed people to interracially marry. If you do not know the background a white man ran away with a black woman so that they could be together. They finally went back to their state to face the music. They wanted to be together so bad they defied the laws so that they could.

Thank you for posting this link, but we are talking about two different things. However, this law is the first to address interracial problems.

When the United States Supreme Court struck down Virginia's law prohibiting inter-racial marriage in Loving v. Virginia (1967), it also declared Plecker's Virginia Racial Integrity Act and the one-drop rule unconstitutional.

Okay, so this was overturned, however, there are still people fighting this one drop rule and classification problems about their race. Just because a ruling is made doesn't mean it is followed. People are still being denied the right to claim their proper racial backgrounds.

The legal notion of hypodescent has been upheld as recently as 1985, when a Louisiana court ruled that a woman with a black great-great-great-great-grandmother could not identify herself as “white” on her passport. The got appealed to the Supreme Court in 1986, and they opted not to hear it, which shows sign that they would affirm a one-drop-rule law.

Affirmative action court cases, on the other hand, (when an apparently white person claims invisible black ancestry and claims federal entitlements and/or EEOC enforcement) are mixed. In some cases, such as the 1985 Boston firefighters Philip and Paul Malone's case, courts have held that such claimants are guilty of "racial fraud" despite their claim of having a black grandparent.

You were wrong. How about admitting that a bunch of white folk know black history better than you do?

Janelle, the one-drop rule was found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. As I'm sure you know, that has the effect of striking down any law or rule in any of the states that conformed to Virginia's integrity law. If you read in further depth about why Louisiana prevented a woman from self-defining on her passport as white, you'll see that the reason why she was listed as being "colored' on her birth certificate was because her parents were both listed as "colored" on their birth certificates. At the time of her birth, Louisiana considered any person with as little as 1/32 black ancestry to be "colored." This wasn't the case for Guillory, who was of 1/64th black ancestry, so one would assume that the Louisiana court erred.

However, because her parents were of 1/32 black ancestry, they were listed as "colored" on their birth certificates. At the time, it was common for attending doctors and midwives to assign to a child the race of the parents. Both her parents were "colored," ergo so was Guillory. No one objected to her classification at birth, and doctors and midwives are not subject to the 14th Amendment since they aren't government officials. More importantly, the Louisiana court ruled that even though the issue did involve one-drop laws to some extent, such laws violated the Constitution and were no longer on the books, and therefore could not be overturned. That the Supreme Court refused to hear the case does not mean that one-drop rules are somehow constitutional.

None of this means that the situation with Mrs. Guillory wasn't repugnant and ridiculous. I am unfamiliar with Philip and Paul Malone.

I am not saying any body is wrong. People still face the problems.

If you had any class at all, you'd admit you were wrong about current law.
