I don't get folk that act like that either. Like blackness has one set image or look. I'm not going to lie I didn't assume that your black but you saying that you are doesn't come as some unbelievable thing.
It goes for all people that are the product of two different ethnicities. I wouldn't have it any other way, but I feel what you're saying. Being Mexican&White, I'm either supposed to look like some chola girl,, or a polo wearin ponytail girl,,
being mixed is beautiful. Id say you and I are examples of this :)
I am black. When I see others who claim to be black I do not feel a certain way. Many though do feel and believe black should look a certain way. Those who claim they are black but do not fit into that “black” box gets ostracized. It’s dumb [I know] but I have seen it happen more that I would like. Many do this out of jealousy [which they would NEVER admit]. But, you keep your head up. And yea you are right - "A drop of black blood and baby you are full blooded honey."
Don't worry about that. You Black! It don't matter what you spike Black with, it's Black just even more interesting. The model Clayanna Evans, when asked for the umpthteenth time about her ethnicity replied simply...I do not have any immediate racial mixture, both parents are Afrikan Americans and we come in all shades. Dig? She looks just like you.
EXOTIC. POINT. BLANK. PERIOD. The chicks, with "that" ignorant frame-of-mind, are just jealous cause they don't look like you sissy, that's why they assume you can't be one of "them". The chicks that feel ya blog though...are the realest. :)
