[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ the poster is not crazy she is talking about skin color and how light skinned blacks can be mistaken for white. Not surprisingly these black people who could easily pass for white, and don't for many historical reasons, hear quite a bit more racism than racially ambiguous biracial people.[/quote]She still needs a therapist. Her resentment at her existence hasn't a damn thing to do with biracial kids and their experiences. What is reflects is that there's a lot of pain in the AA community. We get that. That experience has no bearing or is not more significant or valid than the biracial experience. What should be happening here is people in her situation should have more empathy and be more compassionate toward biracial kids. Their self-esteem hinges on being accepted just as they are- biracial. They should find solace in the AA community, not hatred and resentment. [/quote]
