“Are you black or are you white – I can’t tell”


• Young children spend a lot of time and energy comparing themselves to others, understanding how they fit into the family and school, and deciding about their identity.
• During early childhood is usually when biracial children begin to ask about their identity.

Biracial Celebrities

• Tiger Woods
• Played on the PGA Golf Tour

• Halle Berry
• Former Miss Ohio
• 1st runner-up in the Miss USA pageant
• Model/Actress

Raising a biracial son who is Black and White can be difficult for some parents and the child; it can be even more difficult for a single White female raising a Black son alone.

quote:

“My mom works at a private school. As she was walking by some students the other day at summer school. She over heard a teenage biracial girl (her mother is white, father is black) talking to some white boys about another biracial boy who was 1/2 mexican and 1/2 black. She asked them what race was the boy's mother, the white boys said his mother was black and father was Mexican. The girl said "Uuhh, black mothers are ugly"! My mom said if she weren't in a rush she would have addressed. She said she's going to address that soon.”

quote:

“This really steams me up!!! Im a black mother and a fine one at that. I wonder if her parents know what they are doing to this girl by teaching her self-hatred. This is only going to go breed itself into the next generation of hers. I wonder what she is going to do when she has children, and no matter what color that husband will be, some of those kids will be darker. I wonder what she'll do then? Maybe when she reaches the real world, she will be corrected.”

Maybe it’s not such a good idea.


BUT GOD CREATED US EQUAL SO WHY SHOULD IT BE A PROBLEM?

Who ever has a problem with it should not try it.I got no problem with it as far as am concerned, were it not for inter racial couples, the world wouldn't have Obama, Tiger wood and Bob marley.No man is unequal before our Lord.

i cannot stop anyone from going for it,but its not easy,to begin with, children's identity...the kids hardly know their race or tend to identify with one race than the other which is a self hatred of some part of oneself. In Thailand we have alot of black men with Thai ladies, some ladies even confess that they arent confortable walking around with their half black kids since Thailand is a whitening society, in that everything white is the bomb!

My friend is currently bleaching the daughter who apparently took all African genes,(how sad),

For someone getting into it, they need to know how to go about educating their kids on who they are (self identity)

Interracial marriages are so cute...but the challenges there in, one needs to work harder.
