First, we are defined not by the color of our skin. We are spiritual and humanity. Therefore those that are superficial and make presuppositions as such are not secure within themselves. My children know that our souls are translucent, when saved they are luminous like a star. Leaving the bonds of flesh where we are not divided by such nominal attributes. Those of every race, tribe, nation are all one in humanity. We do not live in the bitter bondage of striving for purpose based on flesh, but that of spirit. Hate has no place in the hearts and minds of those reaching for higher ground.

Second, history falsely taught has strengthen the divide. Out of over 200 thousand men women and children who came to support Martin Luther King Jr during his speech in DC, almost half were white. Many of those who supported the civil rights movement were white women. White women just fought that battle themselves. They were treated like chattel, husbands could beat their wives to death and suffer little to no consequense as they were viewed as property as well. MLK is portrayed as only a civil rights leader. But what got him killed was his anti war sentiments. He knew JFK was killed for coming out against these secret societies that are running the world today. MLK saw this was a war on poor blacks/whites/minorities in America. At every turn I see history being covered up by those who wish us to forget. Who took land by force from Native Americans Who have used Asians to build the railroads for the rockafellers, who used poor whites to pump oil for Standard oil, who used blacks as slaves and white men as indentured servants, who used poor Europeans, Irish, Polish etc to facilitate the industrial revelation, who funded JP Morgans dynasty. When we hate, they win. You fools bicker about race as if we were not part of humanity, while they send our children off to war under the pretense of sovereignty. No such thing, they place our children in harms way because they make trillions off war and hate. The Rothschilds/bankers fund both sides of the war. They keep us so busy hating each other and ourselves because it is profitable for them. I refuse to stoop to such a level.

As a nurse I love all my patients. We are born in the skin we are, we bleed, cry, hurt die all the same. I do not press upon the past. You can not fly if you are chained to the torment of the past. We look forward with great fortitude, pressing on to the goal that is before us in this lifetime. How quickly we are willing to take up arms instead of peace, hate in place of understanding. In turn we teach our children the differences and superiority or inferiority. As a single white woman with biracial children, the rejection comes from both races, but more so from blacks. As I tell my children, it is no ones fault if you do not succeed in this life but your own. Just because you do not have a father does not give you liberty to fail. White, black, purple, pink, you can and will if you set your mind to do such. If you stumble, get back up. If you feel defeated you will be. Success in not a measure of wealth, but that of character and moral conviction. Children of all races blame their problems and failures on another, because that is what they see modeled. Society lacks the ability to cope and take responsability for the outcome of their actions. This is what mothers/fathers really need to be teaching our children.

It is assumed because I am white, I had it easy. I had/have less help than most single mothers of both ethnicities. I have little to no extended family and had to figure out for myself how to provide for these children. I went to work and school, my children in daycare 70 hours a week. My strength was in the Father, my mind set firm on the things above. The stereotypes of the weakness of women are appauling. Women would do better to come together than facilitate this dissent. While we are independent, we need to respect the good men that are out there. We need to reject superficiality, strengthen self image. Men place expectations on women to look a certain way and cast them off as trash, yet these men end up with a stroke or incapacitated, they expect the same women to care for them. Women using their bodies to seduce faithful men from their wives. I say all this because it starts with the parents actions and responses. We have very real character issues that need to be addressed instead of mindless superficial banter about unkept hair or tonation of skin. If we are unhappy with the pool of men/women in society, then we must raise up children with moral integrity instead of lamenting the current state.

To some of the single mothers of biracial children, I know. The struggle is filled with rejection and assumptions on many a part. I teach my children to identify with faith and leadership, not a race. The most important beauty is inner beauty. You yourselves are not damaged goods, but a becon of universal love. If I or you are to be ostracised and withheld love and exceptance because of the choice to marry without constraint, latter to find our spouse was unable to succumb to the outside pressures as well, so be it. The inner strength of this burden you shoulder alone will make you stronger if you allow it. As I tell my children, a beautiful diamond is formed under the most intensive pressure. They to will shine and be a becon of hope for humanity.

I have two kids now…their father is also mixed but doesn’t claim it. His father is creole and his mother is black. Our daughter has a tanned complexion with brown eyes and waist length long curly light brown hair with blond streaks and our son is very fair skinned with light hazel eyes and curly light hair. Our daughter clearly looks mixed but our son can easily pass for white. He doesn’t appear to have any black in him. When it comes to race…my daughter is proud to be mixed. We will also teach my son that it’s something to be proud of as well. I don’t think anyone should deny or ignore what they are. My daughter tells me mom “Youre mixed too grandma” and my mother just smiles. I’m still waiting to hear her say the words and be proud to be mixed but sadly I don’t think I’ll ever hear those words from her. She was raised in an era where it wasn’t ok for black folks to admit to having white in them. My father, who’s white, also was born in that era and he explains that in that time–it wasn’t ok in society for anyone who appeared black to come out and say they were half white. He said there were people who clearly looked mixed and they would only claim to be black and would take offense to anyone who said they were mixed with white. My mother agrees that this was the way it was.

Apparently, it still happens today. My nephews mother is very fair skinned with curly hair. No african american features to her face whatsoever. Her mother is black and white and her father is white puerto rican and black. She claims to be black majority of the time and occasionally claims puerto rican and black. Never telling anyone she is also mixed with white.There’s african americans and mixed people who say the “one drop” rule is wrong and just carrying on the slave master mentality. I agree. It’s also wrong and carrying on the slave mentality by denying that you have white in you as well.
