but "interracial" children have existed for decades, centuries. it's not the new/hype thing to do, it's been going on forever. question: what qualifies someone as "interracial"? if two people, each having one white parent and one Black parent, have children, are those children interracial? and if those children all have children with people whose grandparents had one white parent and one Black parent, are their children interracial? so on and so forth. it gets crazy after a while and it's rather silly for folk to think that being interracial is the wave of the future. that shit is the wave of the past, a past the let interracial folk know that despite the percentage of "white blood" in their veins they are still niggers.

a Black person can be anti-Black when s/he consciously decides to do something that is opposed to Black solidarity. being Black you have to always be aware of both individual and collective implications.

hmm...having the choice between letting kids be exposed to good politics or bad politics, i'm choosing good politics. i mean i understand you're point about object lessons. but a) there's a urgent need for change so wasting time waiting for folk to come around when it could be nipped in the bud from the jump is silly. why bother? b) i don't think you always need to have an object lesson in order to discern truth. for instance, you don't have to drink spoiled milk to know that it will turn your stomach.

i hear you on your friends case but on the real that happens to all of us. welcome to the family. does he really believe that he'd be exempt? what makes him so special?

i'm really sick of mixed kids complaining that they can't be Black enough. why not? if they are going off things kids said to them in middle school then they are being really petty. get over it, kids are cruel. move on. but if they are going off somethings other adults are saying to them then maybe they are clinging to elements of whiteness.

lastly, people have existed for about 150,000,000 years and we aint the same color yet.

peace.

p.s. to your comment about me having "been there before" in order to have validity. if you're implying that i've interracially dated, you are sadly mistaken. and i have validity because i'm a Black person that can articulate a position. going by your logic only former presidents of the US can critique bush. give me a break.
