[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm biracial and my child looks white. She is who she thinks she is and not what any other human being would select for her. Jesus put her in her skin for his reasons. Enough of these race police trying to overstep him.[/quote]

I completely agree with you, but my child happens to look black. I wish I could let her decide who she thinks she is instead of society telling her. She has as much European heritage as African, but those things don't seem to matter when it comes to race. It's solely about the color of one's skin. I hope we as a society get past this during my daughter's generation. [/quote]

This is an ignorant thread.  All AA's in this area are biracial. It is the white and self-identified biracial people that are constantly trying to deny the AA heritage.  In my generation, this was known and understood which is why we got rid of the paper bag test (test based on the color of one's skin) here in DC which you posters seem intent on bringing back.  Tell your AA parent or grandparent to take a swab test for their genetics and maybe you will get a clue.[/quote]
