I believe Clarence Thomas grew up in a Geechie community as a child.

People tend to call anyone light red bone. Growing up I was called it though I don't consider myself light and am certainly not red. It is pretty uncommon for men to be called it.
Looked it up. Malcolm was called Red and even "Detroit Red" for a time. Pretty pimpass nickname. Would've been better if his last name had been "Wings"
He had slicked back red hair at the time...lol Glad he abandoned that look. Say what you will about the NOI , they had him lookin good.
American but not in America, maybe the most interesting community The Confederos. They were confederates who after the Civil War moved to the Coast of Brazil and tried to recreated the Antebellum South. Apparently some parts of their culture is still celebrated there.
....I wasn't there, but I don't think sixteen gunshots, including several twelve gauge blasts, improved the man's appearance all that much. But maybe that's just me.

.I drove through Gullah country on the backroads this past weekend, from Savannah to Tallahassee. Kind of interesting, going through all those old rural settlements. Definitely got some stares Anyway, passed through one little community where everyone looked mixed, was south of Riceboro, IIRC, but I can't even find it on google maps.

The south has to be way more interesting in that respect. You drive through new England most interesting thing you might come across is a Swamp Yankee. You ever read Bill Bryson's book where he drove through small town America? He look for Melungeons while in Appalachia but couldn't find any. Also went to coastal SC but unfortunately didn't check out Gullah folk.
I've heard of Lumbee and Melungeons, but never met any. This reminded me a bit of Tangier Island, Virginia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangier,_Virginia Apparently its inhabitants, until recently, spoke a rather archaic brand of English.
