I am wondering, is there anything like "one drop rule" in eg African black societies?
All people are black, is someone who has eg10% white blood considered "not full black" or even white?

If you mean Sub-Saharan countries, I believe some have specific phenotype descriptors (features, skin color, etc.) and some for mixed SSA/Non-SSA ancestry.
New World nations with a population of majority of pure or pred. SSA like Haiti for example do have words for mulattos and other groups not 100% SSA.
