She is from Kenya and the fact that she had a white momma meant that she was regarded as White in Kenya.

I told her that was all bullshit now that she was in the states. I told her that she was black now and had to get use to it. She threw her drink in my face. Told me I was trying to get her to not acknowledge her white mother.

In retrospect that was a transracial discussion. American Society would identify her as black. She self-identified as "bi-racial". I spent a great deal of time trying to force her to accept the label that america would force on her.

In retrospect I think I was wrong for that.

In the end she married a bi-racial dude which made so much sense because they understood each other.

I am sure she probably identifies as black and bi-racial. Probably more likely to check the black box if it might help with a minority set aside. I ain't mad at her.
