I am also posting at the end of this, Mr. Bibuld's actual blacklist, which he had posted the previous day and which had been and continued to be completely ignored.
Sam Sloan
Jerome Bibuld has published a list of 63 black chess players who have had USCF ratings of 2200 or higher. While I feel that this list performs a service of sorts, I have asked Mr. Bibuld to answer the following questions:
I have known Arnold Dubow since 1962. I never knew he was black. He sure looks white to me. Kindly explain his inclusion on your blacklist.
Why don't you include Luis Busquets? He has kinky hair. (I hope I don't get him kicked off of Prodigy for saying this.)
I wrote a book entitled "The Slave Children of Thomas Jefferson". This book explains that in pre-Civil War Virginia, a person who was one-quarter black (that is: only one of the grandparents was black) was black, but a person less than one quarter black (for example only one of the great-grand parents was black) was white. What is your litmus test for blackness?
Many of us, without even knowing about it, may be a little black. How can we get on your blacklist? I want to join.

Poor Sam Sloan couldn't understand this at all -- and I WON'T bother to repeat it: I have NOT published a list of "black" players. Since there is one human species (there are NO races), I look at POLITICAL matters, as a human being who feels that human polity is worth my study. I have published a list of players who, I have been led to believe (and I won't explain how) are AFRO-AMERICAN (incidentally, NOT AFRICAN-American). I believe that anyone who wants to help me -- regardless of her/his political position -- will not play games about who should be on the list, but merely will send me the names and (with appropriate permission) the addresses and/or telephone numbers I have requested.
Fraternally,
Jerome Bibuld

Excuse me for saying this, but what the hell are you talking about? You believe there are no races but are publishing a list of AFRO-AMERICAN players which apparently doesn't mean AFRICAN-AMERICAN players. Is it a list of players with perms?

Seriously, my kill file is to big already. I think alt.nationalism.white is the appropriate newsgroup. We have a Chinese female world champion, we have a female top IGM, an Indian world champion candidate and other nationalities and color will follow as chess will be even more generally spread.

I am glad that Jerry is one of the few white people in America who realize that the term black people is used in America to indicate the color of ones skin and ones ethnicity/race.
Who is black? Did you know that as if grandfather was Indian I could put that I was Asian on the censes form?
Who is white? who is yellow? Am I being disrespectful if I refer to an Asian as "a yellow" person? If I say the yellow race, the yellow culture.
Who are the white leaders? Is the president a white/yellow/black leader?
If my origins were from the Caribbean am I an Afro/African American? If my children are born in this country and I am from Haiti are my children Afro/African Americans?
If my great grandfather/grandmother was 1/16 African am I white or black??? based on the census definition if I keep it quiet and don't let anyone know of it and I look white then I am white.
Yes I know I have not addressed the issue of chess in this response because the question is not about chess, but about a wider "problem"

Hmmm.... Looking up Afro- in big dictionary...
Afro-. Indicates Africa or African; for example, Afro-American.
There was no entry for African-American (Dictionary was (c) 1976)
So what's was the distinction you were trying to make?

Your pardon, but I do not understand who would be candidates for your list, since I am confused about the definition of "Afro-American" and it does not appear in my dictionaries.
Is there a published definition of this term somewhere?

Thank you for the source. I did find it in a Random House dictionary as you suggested. My own dictionaries gave either the definition "African-American," which Mr. Bibuld had said was not the definition he was using, or did not list it, as I had said.
The Random House, which you mentioned, gave "black Americans of African descent," a more specific definition than "African-American," since that would by parallelism refer to anyone whose parents had been a citizen of any African country.
I apologize since I seem in some way to have startled you: I did, indeed, check several references first, and so I do not think mine was in any way a disrespectful question. It certainly was not intended to be.

No less an authority than the Southern California Chess Federation (Jerome Hanken presiding) have passed an official declaration (at the 1990 annual meeting) that Paul Morphy was known to be of Creole descent, that Creole is dictionary-defined as a mix of races, including black, and that therefore there is reason to believe that Morphy was black.

According to a book I've been reading, Paved With Good Intentions by Jared Taylor, (I highly recommend it) because of affirmative action and its reverse discrimination policies, those with even a tiny fraction of black heritage are coming forth and claiming they are black just so they can attempt to reap the benefits of affirmative action. Anyhow, I don't know what this has to do with anything except to say that black lists, or all black beauty pageants, or BET on cable TV (black entertainment television), etc., in my opinion, only serve to further the polarization of Americans and to hinder the goal of a color blind society.

[some stuff deleted]...Every action we take either moves toward or away from that ideal. Having lists like "the best black chess players" or similar simply trivializes their already outstanding achievement. I know that if I were a strong enough player to warrant being placed on a similar list, while others of similar (or greater) proficiency were excluded on the basis of THEIR race, the luster would soon wane. The only way to justify these lists is to admit that the people on them warrant special recognition simply because of their race. That last sentence is the classic definition of racism.
The commonly used definition of racism is hatred based on race. Being aware of race, per se, is not racism. I think such a list does two things. One, it makes us aware that some people overcame prejudice in addition to the normal obstacles in accomplishment. Second, I would imagine that it provides role models so that people don't view Chess as an exclusively White man's game.
I'm not a member of a previously oppressed group, so I do not know if these lists present more of a benefit or more of a problem. Overall, though I do not think these lists do harm, just so long as these players are also recognized in the standard categories. For instance, its fine to have Women's chess so long as the women also compete in non-segregated tournaments should they desire.

Please, PLEASE note once more (see the second response to the original posting of this line, I have NOT listed strong BLACK players, but strong AFRO-AMERICAN players. As hard as it is for U.

If Bisguier and Soltis can study AMERICAN chess masters (I am not responsible for their error in not including Capablanca, Sunye or Spraggett), I can study AFRO-AMERICAN (NOT black) chess masters.
Sam (Ismail?) Sloan gave this line its title. I DENY that there are BLACK (or, for that matter, WHITE) chess masters. Those who refer to BLACK chess masters in this thread pretend that I have agreed with them that there are such things. Either they are incapable of understanding the English language or they are in a class with the two Liarries.

As far as I can make out, Jerome Bibuld, is the biggest RACIST in America. No one really wants to hear his opinions and anytime anybody contradicts or has a different opinion they are a racist. One wonders what Mr. Bibuld's motives are? Personally, I think he is just a twat.

BUT, what you REALLY want to do is to study BLACK chess masters, isn't that so? Isn't this your intention? The term African Americans denotes black people of African origin. So in reality you are seeking out only black chess masters. Which of course is your right to do so, no one would deny that. But in my opinion, it serves to polarize people.

Very briefly, it is my contention that the term African-American legitimizes racism and pretends that Afro-Americans are citizens of the U. S. A.
My position is that Afro-Americans are members of a subject nation; one of several within the military control of the U. S. A. I use the term Afro- American, because that is the term used by Afro-American nationalists.

Regarding the possibility of Morphy being black:
Creole generally has several potential definitions. Webster says: a. a person descended from the original French settlers of Louisiana, especially the New Orleans area
b. a person descended from the original Spanish settlers in the Gulf States, esp. Texas
c. a person of mixed Creole and Negro descent.
Of course Morphy was from New Orleans. In Morphy's case, definition `a' applies as his maternal Grandfather Joseph Le Carpentier was French. The second definition applies as well as his paternal Grandfather was from Spain. I've also read that Morphy's mother Thelcide Carpentier was West Indian, but I do not know if that would fit definition c.
It doesn't really matter, but I think there is often confusion when the word "Creole" is used as it has several definitions. Although, Morphy apparently fits more than one of those definitions based upon his lineage.

I note that William Morrison has become the second Afro-American to achieve a USCF rating higher than 2500. This impels me to increase my efforts to document the chess lives of strong Afro-American players. In this endeavor, I ask all persons aware of Afro-Americans not on the following list, but whose USCF ratings are or have been 2199+ or 100 times their ages (in years), to send me the names of such individuals. If you can get the player's permission, I would appreciate her/his address and/or telephone number, so that I may contact her/him in regard to a biographical questionnaire I have modified from that used by Jeremy Gaige.
