I usually don't post on these boards, but I felt the need today. I am mixed, bi-racial, whatever you want to call it. My parents got stares, comments and were discriminated against all the time. Thankfully they said, 'fuck society, we're in love', and I am here today. And they were right- fuck society and all of its opinions on what you CAN and CANNOT do. Fuck the looks. Fuck the hateful words. Fuck the bullshit. I live in the US Virgin Islands, otherwise known as the "Black states." There is not much racism here, and its strange to see it so prevalent on these boards, not coming from white people. Its coming from brothers and sisters. Close minded brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters that do not seem to realize that it takes ONE generation of a mulatto child to 'kill off' the European in them and FIVE generations to kill off the African. I would expect this from Europeans, not from BLACK PEOPLE. My point is this: children of inter-racial relationships are a blessing. Being in love is a blessing. And if your love does not look like your Momma, oh well. My brother's wife looks nothing like his Irish mother. But he's not wrong is he? I am very glad I don't have to put up with America's bullshit on who you can and can't love. Cause here in the Carribean, we love who we want. And forget anyone who has something to say about it.
