One White Parent - One Black Parent [View all]

[JustAnotherGen]

That used to be called 'mulatto' - now it's bi-racial and on forms you can sometimes check 'other'.

I'm one of those women.

With it comes a set of experiences that causes you to view America through a different lens that a white woman.

We are going back to CHILDHOOD here.

For those in America whowish to defend Rachel D's right to 'claim' a series of experiences - go ahead.

But don't compare her to those of us (she's just a few years younger than me) who were born into and grew up in a family with a black parent and a white parent.

Because of her color - she did NOT have the same experiences as us.

And her color is the FAULT of her parents. Be angry with them - not black folks and bi-racial folks who don't accept her as one of us. The beef is with them.

How about - those in America that want to defend this insanity - how about they start taking pot shots at one of her parents for not doing her the favor of marrying/creating with a black person.

It seems to me that the issue could be with them. If Only one of them had done so -


Then Rachel wouldn't have been 'burdened' with growing up blonde haired and blue eyed in a household with two white parents - and in a country that treats that women that looked like she used to as something to be held and cherished (blonde haired blue eyed beauty standard).

Either the folks making this claim that she's 'bi-racial' are deliberately ignorant - or they are deliberately taking pot shots at mixed race people.

Set all of your science aside - science doesn't account for how white racists treat black people - and white people who cross the color line - in AMERICA.

And I really find it funny how white racists in America will ONLY come to a 'black woman's defense' when she is actually a WHITE WOMAN.


Their two faces are showing - they best be careful. Wouldn't want the mask to drop completely - and stay off.
