An Act to Preserve Racial Integrity
1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That the State Registrar of Vital Statistics may as soon as practicable after the taking effect of this act, prepare a form whereon the racial composition of any individual, as Caucasian, negro, Mongolian, American Indian, Asiatic Indian, Malay, or any mixture thereof, or any other non-Caucasic strains, and if there be any mixture, then the racial composition of the parents and other ancestors, in so far as ascertainable, so as to show in what generation such mixture occurred, may be certified by such individual, which form shall be known as a registration certificate. The State Registrar may supply to each local registrar a sufficient number of such forms for the purpose of this act; each local registrar may personally or by deputy, as soon as possible after receiving said forms, have made thereon in duplicate a certificate of the racial composition as aforesaid, of each person resident in his district, who so desires, born before June fourteenth, nineteen hundred and twelve, which certificate shall be made over the signature of said person, or in the case of children under fourteen years of age, over the signature of a parent, guardian, or other person standing in loco parentis. One of said certificates for each person thus registering in every district shall be forwarded to the State Registrar for his files; the other shall be kept on file by the local registrar.
Every local registrar may, as soon as practicable, have such registration certificate made by or for each person in his district who so desires, born before June fourteen, nineteen hundred and twelve, for whom he has not on file a registration certificate, or a birth certificate.
2. It shall be a felony for any person wilfully or knowingly to make a registration certificate false as to color or race. The wilful making of a false registration or birth certificate shall be punished by confinement in the penitentiary for one year.
3. For each registration certificate properly made and returned to the State Registrar, the local registrar returning the same shall be entitled to a fee of twenty-five cents, to be paid by the registrant. Application for registration and for transcript may be made direct to the State Registrar, who may retain the fee for expenses of his office.
4. No marriage license shall be granted until the clerk or deputy clerk has reasonable assurance that the statements as to color of both man and woman are correct.
If there is reasonable cause to disbelieve that applicants are of pure white race, when that fact is stated, the clerk or deputy clerk shall withhold the granting of the license until satisfactory proof is produced that both applicants are "white persons" as provided for in this act.
The clerk or deputy clerk shall use the same care to assure himself that both applicants are colored, when that fact is claimed.
5. It shall hereafter be unlawful for any white person in this State to marry any save a white person, or a person with no other admixture of blood than white and American Indian. For the purpose of this act, the term "white person" shall apply only to the person who has no trace whatsoever of any blood other than Caucasian; but persons who have one-sixteenth or less of the blood of the American Indian and have no other non-Caucasic blood shall be deemed to be white persons. All laws heretofore passed and now in effect regarding the intermarriage of white and colored persons shall apply to marriages prohibited by this act.
6. For carrying out the purposes of this act and to provide the necessary clerical assistance, postage and other expenses of the State Registrar of Vital Statistics, twenty per cent of the fees received by local registrars under this act shall be paid to the State Bureau of Vital Statistics, which may be expended by the said bureau for the purposes of this act.
7. All acts or parts of acts inconsistent with this act are, to the extent of such inconsistency, hereby repealed.

Alexander Francis Chamberlain, A.M., Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Clark University...says: "In some regions considerable intermixture between negroes and Indians (Science, New York, Vol. XVII, 1891 pp. 85-90), has occurred, e.g., among the Pamunkeys, Mattoponies, and some other small Virginia and Carolinian tribes." "It is also thought probable that many of the negroes of the whole lower Atlantic coast and Gulf region may have strains of Indian blood." This probably accounts for the increasing number of negroes who are now writing to our Bureau demanding that the color on their birth certificates and marriage licenses be given as "Indian."

How the hell I miss this thread?
This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. I don't trust the current census. At one point Blacks were near 50% of America 1860's, but then somehow ended up being 13% in a 150 time span?
I know whites flooded in from Europe but at the same time, the reported lynchings between 1865 and the 1950's wouldn't be enough to curtail the population. Plus, blacks reproduce at a much faster rate. So I find it suspicious that our numbers would be so low.
I've had a nagging suspicion about the US Census for some time now.
so much good food here man.....!!!!
I saw this on another board, something to reaaaaaally think about.....

There are 500 million people in the world. I released a video on this weeks ago. The way to figure out the approximate number of people in the world is to grab the 3 or 4 most populated cities in every state and country. To get the most accurate number, take the number of all these cities added up and times it by 2 to account for the rural areas.
... I can grab the population of the largest cities in China and come to a closer estimate than their inflated country population number. They don't expect people to do this math, so they can throw out a fake population number of the entire country, while posting a more realistic number for the cities. I'm sure I can simplify proving the hoax by focusing on China alone and proving there is not What.. 3 billion people living there? I focused heavily on China already, and I know I'm not going to come close to that number. There is a major flaw in the country and city populations where they screwed up big time.
China can be key to me solving this hoax without wasting much time with all the other countries.
China 1.357 billion alleged population in 2013
10 largest cities in 2013
Shanghai 22 mill - Beijing 19 mil - Tianjin 11 mill - Guangzhou 11 mill - Shenzhen 10 mill - Dongguan 8 mill - Taipei 8 - mill - Chengdu 7 mill - Hong Kong 7 mill - Hangzhou 7 mill =110,000,000
Double that population to account for the other cities and rural areas... =220,000,000 ... Thats's more than a billion off the 1.357 Billion mark
I used the closest numbers I could find, 2013.
Imagine this... China's alleged population would be like having a country of 160 New York City's. There is no possible way that country is as populated as 160 NYC's! Total BS!!!
[Inserted 17 Nov 2016 by Rerevisionist. CobraCommander's comment received a reply based on the map below. BUT NOTE: the map's colouring is very misleading. The middle mid-orange section is 10-100 persons/sq km; but the next higher section is 100-200! There is no way to assess the population above 200/sq km. The three left colours may as well be counted as one. Possibly the map is juggled to make populations in China look higher than they are.]
