I was extremely confused about this girl until she said that. I may still be confused, but I'm not so sure anymore it's all "pure". To sit there and not answer any of those questions honestly. She STILL lied about it all. However, that was one of the most stupid things she said.

I, mean, I have black blood going back 4 generations, but I don't call myself black just because of that. I don't call myself black because I have a black son, either. It's not honest.

I'm white. His father is white. His brother is white. His Aunts and Uncles are black. He learns things from us all equally and will (well, he already has) turn out to be one fine young man.
