Just stumbled on your site by total “accident”. I’m very sorry to read of your loss. I understand. I am an animal person too. i’ve also had several losses right around the holidays. Looking forward to reading more of your posts – I love your pix picks. Are you on facebook?

Salutations
I stumbled across your youtube diaries and was quite captivated by it. It brought a smile to my face to see someone expressing & exposing a very personal aspect of themselves. However not a “mulatto” myself, I am aware of having mixed ancestry to a degree. In my youth it was strange for me, be it my mother’s or father’s side of the family, whereas on my mom’s side I had been taunted for being darker, yet my paternal cousins teased me for being lighter not to mention being called “city-boy” (due to the Jersey accent,etc..go figure). I just accepted being the “odd-ball” (talk about being the black sheep of the family), it wasn’t until I was in my teens did I see this for what it was at the time…racism. Furthermore despite the melanin boost I got while going through puberty & chicken pox *lol*, I remained self conscious about my complexion and acceptance for quite some time. Long story short…thank you for doing what you do.
BTW: despite what label society may perceive or want you to be the one thing that can’t be disputed is that you’re beautiful. Please let’s do keep in touch.

As much as I wouldlove for society to be color blind, its simply not that way. When you take a candid look at mulatto’s, half Black Half White people there has been a struggle with their identity. I am a bi-racial male that struggled with identity for many years. The lies told ro me as a child are still being told today, “That we have the best of both worlds.”

I do believe that we can classify ourselves as we choose and relate to what ever truly stirs our desires. We must also be armed with the facts about the world that we live in today. Society will view us as being black. We will be treated as a black man/women regardless of our wishes.

The question that i had to answer for myself is why did I immediately let people know that I was bi-racial. Did I want white people to know that i was better then the average black person?

The answer for me in the past was yes. I was born and raised in the the early 70’s in Los Angeles. Even on the west coast the racial lines were clearly drawn. things are a little bit different today. But not much. We wonder why our president sees himself as a black man and not some made up nonsense like Tiger Woods. Its not a curse folks.
