There seems to be a misunderstanding here. I did not propose a new thread, nor started one, nor said anything about the BELGIAN NOBILITY.
I have noticed that there is seldom a nice flow to discussions overhere, especially when scary red signs come flashing, a topic is as dead in the water. A PITY!
Perhaps if we agree to disagree, we are afterall not living in the Sovjet Union, each one can use his own description of a Black person.
That's why I offered the example of Brussels, Belgium, where one finds STREETSIGNS in two languages: Flemish and French. They accept the fact that people use different names for the same streets or towns. But they favor a nice flow in traffic, over people fighting over how a street or a city should be named

The thread was "Five Black Presidents," suggesting that five former U.S. presidents had sub-saharan ancestry. By posting your thesis (that European blue-blood = black-blood), you effectively changed the subject. For details, see rule 3.5.
Incidentally, when I split your topic-changing posts to a new thread, you re-posted one of them back into the "5 Presidents" thread again. The next time that you do this, your posting privilege will be immediately suspended.

If you dislike the existing site rules, feel free to propose a change. The rule in question (3.5) is meant to limit each thread to a single thesis, its exposition, disputation, and defense. Without this rule, threads tend to wander and become useless as research sources.
