Identity problems in biracial youth

http://cehd.umn.edu/EdPA/licensure/leader/2004Fall/identity.html


What is racial identity?

Bradshaw (1992) claims that developing a healthy self-esteem and an integrated sense of self is more complex for the biracial person than the monoracial person. Since healthy identity development is crucial to the formation of a normal personality, the issue of identity of children of mixed heritage is critical (Milan & Keiley, 2000).


According to Forde-Marzui (1994), identity grows on the three levels of all human development:

Physical
 
Psychological
 
Cultural:

The nurturing of self-identity is a prime function of the family. An example of that is that in our society, the developmental needs of Black children are significantly different from those of white children. Black children are taught, from an early age, highly sophisticated coping techniques to deal with racist practices perpetrated by individuals and institutions. Some studies show that only a black family can transmit the emotional and sensitive subtleties of perception and reaction essential for a black child’s survival in a racist society.


Racial identity problems arise when biracial children have to face choosing one racial group and rejecting the other in order to develop an identity. We live in a society that sees things as black and white, with no gray areas. Tiger Woods, who is part African American and part Asian, says that society does not give these children a chance to embrace every aspect of their heritage. Forde-Mazrui (1994) also points out that, although American society has historically defined biracial people (from black and white parents) as black, it is questionable whether black people, as a rule, view biracial people in this way. He says that, in fact, biracial children can experience rejection and alienation from black people as well as from white people.

Wardle (1989) says that today, parents assume one of three positions as to the identity of their interracial children. Some insist that their child is “human above all else” and that race or ethnicity is irrelevant, while others choose to raise their children with the identity of the parent of color. Another growing group of parents is insisting that the child have the ethnic, racial, cultural and genetic heritage of both parents.

According to Wardle (1989), experts do not agree as to what the biracial child identity should be. Some believe an interracial child should have the identity of the parent of color because historically that has been the case, and also because society “sees” these children as having the identity of the parent of color. However, others have argued that the identity of any child is based on an accurate presentation of his or her true background - a child should know, for example, that his “white” mother has a Scottish heritage while his “black” father claims African, Native American and Asian roots.

Me I can get tired with peoples who try to divert the question. The word rested is used in Genesis 2:2:

After which, he (the pastor) had a powerful marathon sexual drill with me which lasted for over three hours in different styles.

On interrogation, by the Chief of the community, the pastor confessed to the alleged sexual assault and pleaded for pardon, saying, "it was the handiwork of devil" the Chief then asked him to pay certain customary fine to appease the gods of the land in the sum of N40,000 for desecrating the land, 8 tubers of yam, a goat, a bottle of hot drink, he was also asked to pay to the girl, the sum of N30,000.00 for the assault. Our source informed our Correspondent that the randy pastor has fulfilled the customary fine conditionalities

(the pastor) promised to turn a new leaf, but asked the girl's family not to make the issue public.
