1nOnlyAde: Well, kind of mixed race, but not really. My mother is a mix of mostly french and american indian with some black american and my father is Nigerian.
I think that means your mum is AA or Creole, technically speaking.
laudate: True talk! I have often discovered that people with a mixed heritage tend to be broad-minded, and can see things from a far more interesting & different perspective, when relating with folks from other tribes.
They are often more patient, willing to give others the benefit of doubt and better at getting along with people in general, irrespective of their ethnic or cultural affiliations.
you have a very rosy view of mixed heritage people- not all are like that.
the ones who are, often find it difficult to fit in with the general environment and have less intuition about who their friends or enemies are, unlike the non-mixed ones who are able to quickly identify their surroundings and plan accordingly.
sometimes life is more than about just bringing out the guitar and playing lullabies.
Moralequity: One important issue to remember here is that black American bi-racial or black light skin Americans are being discriminated against and treated poorly by dark complexion African Americans solely BECAUSE OF PHYSICAL APPEARNCE! The USA is very multicultural now and several different ethnic groups exist. The African American community has become more fragmented and no longer embraces everyone of black ancestry.
For those who have less African Ancestry physical features or first generation bi-racial, a new ethnic group should be embraced to provide community and support (friendship) for those people. The smart fair complexion blacks and bi-racial individuals will stop accepting hate and mental abuse and embrace their own community and ethnicity. Build relationships with people based on common interest and struggle. Don't set yourself up for back stabbing by phony people acting like they like you and requiring you to act extremely humble around them.
AlyricistLaura: Recently there has been a new trend rising on the internet lately. Lately there has been an influx of all sorts of Dark Skin crazy people, attempting to carry out prejudice against Lightskin Blacks and/or Mixed Race People who ride with the label "Black".
As seen below....and absolute pyschotic nutter, who has numerous youtube tags and pages and even a facebook hate group. All designed to preach against hate towards lighter people with a spicy blend of neo colorism and prejudice biased hate.
Her facebook page is titled Darkskinned Womans Revenge.(the name of her play)
And her regular facebook is Award Winning Actress Rashida Strober
Now on the first facebook page she takes aim at having issues with an actress....for portraying a young lady, because..."her skin is too light"
You Lightskin & Mixed "Blacks" should stop being submissive servants and speak out against your discrimination and prejudice. Stop being so Weak and Spineless.
Prejudice Against you should not be tolerated. Wake up & Realize Humans for what they are.
A Vile Satanic Viral like Organism of Hate & Evil.
If you are a Lightskin person who faces prejudice against Darkskin Blacks and Allows it . In My opinion you are no different than a Black Person who allows himself to be subjected to prejudice and bias fom whites and other groups.
