It took me until I was about 24 yrs old to be truly comfortable inside my own skin and to embrace who and what I was. My moms was black..father white. And they were not married. Although he did support me. In school I was called everything from halfbreed to high Yellow..and even oreo. I was a big kid played Football. So nobody bothered me physically. After trying to..fit in with one group then the other. It dawned on me, I didn't have to fit in anywhere. I went to the military ,college and got a job. I've dated every race on this earth!! I finally married a Filipino. I live my life having a variety of friends. I don't try to fit in with any one particular group. I'm simply myself. Proud to be alive and thriving. And I am thankful my moms and dad got together to create ME.

That whole thing where you are what society says you are NEVER STUCK with me, it never mattered to me what society looked at me as, I've Never NOT Identified as a Mixed-race person . When I look in the mirror i see a Mixed race person staring back at me. When i look at the world i see it through the eyes of someone who has a duel heritage and not through the eyes of someone who is just of one race and that's it . No matter what someone else sees when they look at me I identify myself by what I SEE when i look at me and that's as a Biracial or Mixed-Race person . I don't know why most mixed people end up caving in to society trying to tell them what they are and they just go along with it, i was never of that mindset, the more someone tries to tell me what i am and how i should identify the more i don't give them what they want and it makes me want to identify as Biracial even more because my identity is up to ME not society , it's called having a BACKBONE and not letting society push you around, I think it's time Biracial people stand up and start pushing back .

Both parents contribute the same number of genetic code to their offspring anything more and you have genetic disorders such as Down Syndrome anything less and you have disorders such as Turner Syndrome .

Do you still stop by to read commentary? I guess this vid popped up for me because I have been searching for videos about biracial and mixed folks, since I am biracial. I noticed Charles Byrd is in this. I recognize him from some online social media groups I used to be in. That piqued my interest further and I watched until the end. I might someday write or create a video about the changing social climate that I'm now seeing: more & more monoracial black ppl are speaking out and stating disapproval over biracial black and white folks identifying as black, only. It's interesting to me because I never heard that from the black community when I was younger. In fact, there was def more pressure to claim your blackness as an expectation of being biracial - at least where I grew up.

Pointing the finger at black people, as if we are the cause will not help, only hurt. I feel bad for you because as a human, we should always seek knowledge over emotion. The old saying goes if you don't know your history you are destined to repeat it. Black people didn't create the one drop rule. Thanks to Colorism, we have to see and hear about it everyday. My mother was very insecure and bullied by light skinned people growing up and still hasn't gotten over it. I'm very mixed on my father side. People keep hounding my daughter about her ethnicity at school on a daily basis. Please understand that Black people do not want to claim you nor do we hate you and we are not jealous. My boyfriend is Lebanese actually and we've been together many years. There are much greater tragedies in this world that we should be helping with. We should uplift each other, love people and understand each other with the hope of making this world better. Peace and Blessings

And I had the same treatment from whites at times because even though my skin gave a pass, I still had the thick 3a hair, full lips, hazel eye, and button nose which made sone of them think *WTF ARE YOU* I guess, but most never questioned my race as much as blacks do.

Malcom x another mixed race but that didn’t help provide him more opportunity for his white side , Obama mixed race and he never did anything for the black community and spoke to his black community in a different way then he spoke to his white audiences , that’s part of his upbringing to conversely to bob marley , Obama was raised by a white mother and white grandparents, his African father was in Kenya living the African lifestyle , Obama was brought up in a white lifestyle so , no we didn’t forget he was biracial nobody forgets , but you forgot bob Marley forgot he was white , intentionally .

People see me as a black person.when people ask me what i am,just like you, i say multiracial. i wish more people could understand the multiracial society more.i wish they would see us as a person and not all the different races.

Yes exactly. I am sick of people saying that you are only your fathers race and not your mothers race. That is not true that you are not supposed to identify with your mothers race even though you get chromosomes and DNA from both parents. I am not going to follow a sexist discriminatory race and ethnicity tradition.

My people are from Trinidad which is a multicultural society, people mixed with a little of everything. This is not a new concept. Here in America it seems to be a Black/White issue. In the islands blacks are mixed with indigenous Indians, East Indian indentured servants, Europeans conquerers, Chinese laborers, the African slave and whatever else. Blacks recognize mixed people , whites may be clueless but we're not.

This woman crazy most blacks in Trinidad ain't mixed she is probably a mule herself which is why she trying to lump us in with her; you can see the coolie in she to with her dogulas ass. 30+ percent of the country is east Indians and 30+ percent is black of African decent the rest is divided up between the mixed breeds and other ethnicity such as Chinese, Syrians and whites. Go read a census with your lying ass! And she has no Carib in her the Caribs were killed out by the whites and them remainders fled into south america you can find the in countries such as Suriname along with the Arawak and other indigenous groups.

Dougla is what you call someone mixed with east Indian and black not indigenous. and I would still get a dna test because a lot of people black people tend to say they have Amerindian decent when they don't have an ounce and in actuality it's white dna they have, btw that is a scientific study. but anyways the Black gene is dominant and i'm sure you will show up with more black in you than anything else over generations the black gene takes over.

I can tell you this though you are black if you know anything about genetics you would know that you probably have 10% or less amerindian dna which means nothing. You should get a dna test though not for that but to find out what part of the motherland you come from.
@TechEmAll8 жыл бұрын
Why you keep dwelling on some lil bit of native blood you have in youif you have any at all the amount is so small its nothing you can't even claim Amerindian heritage. if go to Suriname to the Amerindian tribes they not gonna accept you they gonna tell you to go to one of the African tribes.bottom line is you have very little as every generation pass you family will have less and les of what ever dna that is. your grand father was less than 30% something, your parents most likely less than 20 percent which put you at less than 10% or none at all because genes can skip a generation which can explain you sister hair and yours.

I watched my great aunts straighten and bleach their hair and I could tell they were relieved that I was strawberry blonde. I wondered if that was why loved me? As I grew older it took on a wirey texture and the kids teased me. As a teen my sense of 'otherness' alienated me and filled me with rage.

Same with 1/4 "white Americans" (especially southern white) are roughly around the same percentages of black Americans so there for many people are mixed.

I didn't find out anything I didn't already know, I'm not ambiguous, I said my daughter is... The only point I was making in my original comment is that some people base how we look and the way we communicate based off of sterotypes (looking "black", looking "mixed") If you know anything about creoles you'd know that they are very colorist people. Many could care less if you are creole too if you have dark skin. IDK why my comments about my life experience triggered people.

Oh my goodness, reading these comments are hilarious! All nations of people came from black people, the gene is dominant. Black can produce all colors of people. This has been scientifically proven. So, if life started in Africa and people walked across the continent into Europe and begin to mate with other people that were fare in skin tone, (due to evolution of darker skin becoming light. Mutation of the dominant gene becoming recessive, lack of melanocyte will cause a lighter color.) Then why are we talking about mixed race, and having to identify? All peoples of the earth are of one people, whether they want to admit it or not. You can come up with all kind of scenarios, but you can't lie on science.

So that's what happened and the stronger group emerged as the dominant group. In this case, it was the Europeans.
