[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not know - but it may be a man/woman thing or it might just be your DH.

I am White and DH is AA.  I am keenly aware of some of the issues that he and my bi-racial DS face.  I have witnessed some personally.

My DH is LEO so he has a different perspective on some things and does not dwell on race generally.  He feels that he is a big boy and can take care of himself.  But even he agonizes about how our DS is perceived in the world.  Being his mom, I feel it too.  [/quote]

How does it feel to have a kid who will never identify with you or anyone you're related to?[/quote]

What are you talking about?  My kid is bi-racial and is proud of his AA and White roots.  He identifies with both and is close to both sides of his family.  In fact, it is folks like you that characterize him as AA. If you asked him he would say he is bi-racial. [/quote]

Your kid may identify as bi-racial, but unfortunately in the U.S. your son is black. [/quote]

I know what society considers him.  Hence my earlier comments about being cognizant of what he deals with.  I was responding to the poster saying that he cannot indentufy with me or anyone I am related to.  [/quote]
