Biracial is not a real thing it’s a term made up (just like black) to in most cases distance yourself from blackness. Nobody would know she’s “biracial” if she didn’t say it! This woman, no matter how much money or where she goes would not live a biracial or white experience she could live a black experience with money or a black experience in poverty, but she’s definitely going to live a black experience!!! Which is why she was explaining it in 2013 14, 17 and I’m sure she’s still explaining it today!because it sounds preposterous. That in itself is letting you know she’s living a black experience.

That spirit can reside in black or white. I would ask you to learn about Joseph Kony (a BLACK African man) and the terrorism he and his solders have committed in Uganda and the Congo.

When someone treats him badly because of the way he speaks or how coarse his hair is I want him to defend himself and be proud of his ancestry. Having ethnic pride shouldn't be a problem but having hate for certain ethnicity is a problem for some Not me ,I like to know who hates me.

I think that, in so many instances, historically, the white side of the family disowned the family member that produced the mixed race child, and the child had no choice of who to identify with. That, and the fact that having black blood meant they were considered black in society. Blacks were always accepting of their mixed race children as a part of the family. This lady, with her features, would have always been considered black regardless. It's great society, with the urging of black people, now allows mixed race kids to choose how they want to identify. Just remember, the black side was always there with open arms.

I raised them to celebrate and be proud of their heritage of many races and ethnicities . Their father and I have been married since 1991. Celebrate being human kind.

As she should be. She shouldn’t have to pick sides. Just like the rest of us, she can acknowledge the good and bad in both. Be proud of both. They all led to her existence.

I love how she doesn’t discount one parent or the other. How sad it must be for that parent when they are not recognized. I love how Tiger Woods answered about his race. His father was black and his mother Asian (from Thailand). He said something to the effect of to say I am black suggests my mother didn’t exist. Why choose side? Both parents matter.
