Agreed, I don't buy it either. I mean if it was said 40 years ago, then a point could be made, but today, it is not an issue for those that do not make it an issue.Onwardclimb said:I'm black (mixture of many races)-NOT African American, and I must say that I disagree with you guys about the children of black/white unions being ostracized by both races. Although I'm sure that it was like that in the past, and in some places it still is. But I've lived in the deep south all my life, and I've NEVER seen them have identity crisises-but then again, I also believe that your identity comes from who you are in Christ and NOT the color of your skin!!!-nor have I EVER seen them ostracized on the basis of their heritage. What I've seen in my life just doesn't support that. The "mullato" children I've seen in my lifetime have always been treated VERY WELL by both sides. The black side especially, because of a little thing we have in our race, dating back to slave times, called colorism- which roughly means the heirarchy of beauty based on the lightness of skin.
Just my $0.02.
God bless,
