I must disagree with the below.
Old? definitely. Inaccurate? Ofttimes. Racist? Only if one incorrectly presupposes that the term is used to characterize hypodescent: The assignment of the perceived subordinaterace on a child of mixed lineage.
I'd argue that one should be proud of their African heritage, regardless of the number of grandparents who share it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Saying that a person has 1/16th African blood is an old, inaccurate, and sometimes racist way of saying that one great-great-grandparent was African and the other 15 great-great-grandparents were from some other racial group.
It can also mean that two great-great-great grandparents, who were not married to each other, were African; or that four great-great-great-great grandparents not married to each other were African, etc., etc.

One famous African American doctor is Dr. Charles Drew, who was a pioneer in the field of blood transfusion and the storage of blood plasma. He developed the first large-scale blood bank during World War II, significantly improving medical care for injured soldiers. His work laid the foundation for modern blood donation and transfusion practices, and he is celebrated for his contributions to medicine and public health.
red represents death red represents love red represents blood. black represents the freedom. the green represents the grass the African American had to eat. grean represents the gold they found and grean represents the food. =)
Hope is represented by the color green in Kwanzaa. There are two other colors of candles. One is red, for the blood shed by the African ancestors of African-Americans in the United States of America. The other is green, for hope.
One ounce is 6 teaspoons, so 1/16 of an ounce is 6/16 = 3/8 = 0.375 teaspoons (about one-third )
I think this is what you mean. One sixteenth of 100 is 6.25 so 6.25% is one sixteenth of 100.
One sixteenth of 100 is 6.25 so 6.25% is one sixteenth of 100.
What is one sixteenth of 20000
three sixteenth
One-sixteenth of a quintillion is 60,000,000,000,000,000,000 or a quadrillion.
I think it should be one sixteenth. What do you think?
A sixteenth rest represents a silence that lasts for one-sixteenth of a whole note in music. In a measure of 4/4 time, there are four sixteenth rests, as each measure can contain four sixteenth notes or rests. Thus, a sixteenth rest is equivalent to one-sixteenth of the total duration of the measure.
30 seconds is one sixteenth of eight minutes
7/8 + 1/16 is 15/16
It is a sixteenth because 1/8 is the same as 2/16
One sixteenth divided by 2 is equal to one thirty-second.
One of anything plus five of the same thing is equal to six of them.
