I will get back to you in a few...gotta think over this a little
Shut your monkey looking ass up.If my son was a @GreatestLaker I'd be thoroughly ashamed. I get that he's proud and accepts both sides of his heritage equally but he's all too happy to shyt on black people and act as if being biracial makes him superior by default. If your child is thinking that way you fukked up tremendously in raising them.
according to the soul patrol' of the board...it's the one drop rule that "society" has created that makes them black.
You can be 99.0% white and look like Elmer Fudd but that .1% has tagged you for life in their opinion.
I am the product of a mixture similar to that. While there was a push from my mom to acknowledge african history, by the time my sister and I were 10, we both rejected it, and my mother seemed a little saddened by that but she accepted it.
My mom doesn't say "ax" (ask) or boff (both), so we never picked up that accent. The majority of her siblings and other family members do though.
We both look 100% Malay or SEA, which is the race of our father. We both have straight hair and Malay appearances. That has determined so much of our lives I feel. Since we don't look like we have an ounce of SSA, but genetically we are around 30% Sub-Sarahan African. Thats more than Soledad O'brian. I find it hard to believe to this day.
Between me and her, I am the only one that has somewhat embraced black culture. I liked hip-hop and I also always watched black movies. She has 100% rejected everything black, and has little to no contact with our Black family. I also have 1 black friend, and she has no black friends and has never had a black friend or boyfriend in her life. She is currently married to white man who isn't the biggest fan of Liberal politics, and has said insulting things about the NAACP and other black institutions.
I read and hear stories about mixed black people, and I have never once heard a story that was similar to the lives of my Sister and I. We live and operate in a world that is not within the realm of black people or the black community, and somehow we are 30% black. Never once have we been acknowledged as being black people by anyone (including blacks), and honestly, we have never once identified as being black. Sure, we may say that we are mixed (I rarely say that I am mixed unless I feel it benefits me), but our circle of friends, associates and lovers seem to say that we are not african Americans.
i'm not even all the way black... it's crazy.. i'm dark as but my two great grandparents, on either side.. were full native american. so somewhere in that breakdown, it runs in my blood around 10-30%.. (who really knows the exact percent)
but even tho i don't look it, have no features, and really have never researched it... i do CARE.. i would love to know my history.. shyt i'd love to know my family breakdown back to slavery and before if i could. i remember doing a family crest project in middle school.. i was the only black kid in the class and the only one who had to make one up... imagine being able to trace your history back thousands of years and say "my family did that"
so really what i'm asking is.... how the hell do you turn that away. i would NEVER deny what i am. they don't consider me biracial.. but even my damn facebook has native american and black on it. anywhere else they'd let me put it, i'd do it... if i could join back in my damn tribe, i'd do it.. just to say i did it so i could pass it on to my kids
it seems like you and your sister like lying to YOURSELVES.. your mom knows it.. its a FACT.. but y'all walking around pretending what you think and believe and what people say, has any effect on the blood in your veins. how can you just not give a fukk who you are or what you came from. not even care about your heritage.. not connect with people who have the same race as you...
you don't have to do things you feel are black.. but damn... to KNOW you are, and ACT like you're not, and then your sister lets her man shyt on HER RACE, and he probably doesn't even know it about her... that takes it from not caring.... to being ASHAMED
and i'm asking...... are you ashamed of being black?
Since when must every black person love tyler perry movies..i dontNo i'm not ashamed of it.
I do connect with people that are the same race as me. my friends are Cambodian/chinese/Vietnamese or Filipino. I feel they are the same race as me well.. chinese is a stretch, but I just feel more comfortable around them than I do with black people.
I just feel like i'm too different from them (blacks). I can't relate. If I tell a black person that I am "black", usually they don't believe me or they say something like "well you're not really black, but I guess...". If i'm not really "black", then why should I say that I'm black?
When I am around Asians (mainly South East Asians), I say that I'm am South East Asian, and there is no hesitation or stares or second guesses. I am accepted as that, and I am treated with comradery. and that's the thing I hate the most about my interactions with black people. I hate the unacceptance or the second guesses and the second looks. I drives a big wedge between me and them. It's not like that when I'm around other people. It makes me feel like black people are very racist and Xenophobic. I have been called racial slurs like gook by racist blacks--and I mean strangers.
IN the end of the day, I am a person of Asian Descent to the billions of South East asians out there. Every single one of them sees me as one of them. The only blacks that see me as black are well.. none of them(not africans, Haitians, or African Americans), and to me I have always felt betrayed by that.
I don't know how my sister feels about it. We don't talk about it, but at the dinner table, she has said to straight up Racist remarks about black people. I mean 100% racist. She also ran with ***** people while she was in college.
My mom is really in to tyler perry movies. One day she brought it up, and I basically didn't comment and my sister said, "i'm not going to watch that sh1t". she said, "they're are good movies, I know you guys don't like black movies but..." Honestly, I felt really said when she said that. How could a black women have kids like that apparently "hate" black movies. I saw absolutely no pity from my sister.
No i'm not ashamed of it.

Shut your monkey looking ass up.
This is an extreme and negative scenario. In 2070 or whatever age we'll have grandkids by I'm pretty sure most will be looking past things such as race.
That would be sad as hell.
Imagine being referred to as the ''black ancestor''. You'll be treated like a mistake in the family line
