Passing

A historically and culturally significant part of the history of Black America, passing was the tactical measure used by some Blacks to evade US segregation. Mixed race African Americans with little to no visible African ancestry were able to pass as White in the US to gain economic and social perks and to escape oppression and degradation that were inherent during the construction of race, Jim Crow discrimination and segregation in the US.
