One on my Facebook really just pissed me off bc they said ... Mixed isn't a race.. That if you have black in you. You are black. That makes so mad for my reasons.
I consider myself mixed. I'm proud to be both. I'm not gonna disregard one part of me. I am black and white.
I was really pissed off.
Sorry end of rant. I just needed to vent and I didn't wanna argue. It's sad we even have to talk abt race but I know we have too. But with all these things going on world we have too. And I'm scared for my family my father. As if the mass shooting weren't enough.

With all the bad stuff aside, this really puts me at peace. I was talking to my husband about this for our daughter. She looks more light-skinned and someone made a comment about "well now she can just pretend she's white." And it worries me that she would grow up to just ignore one part of her culture whether it be the white or black side. But this truly gives me hope that we can help her find a balance :)

Yes it's really hard. Bc white ppl say that we are niggers and black say we are white. It's really hard. But I'm proud to be both. My son is mostly white and Puerto Rican and I'm going to try to teach him he isn't white or Rican he is mixed and should be happy to be both! It's really hard being a mixed child. Sometimes harder than just being black. @mrsb78

People with that mentality still believe that even if you have 1 drop of black blood, you are solely black. As a mother of a mixed daughter, I want her to cherish both her races and all of her nationalities.

Exactly! And mixed kids get made fun of my both. And she should be proud of both! They are both great. And it was a black guy that said it. And it makes me frustrated when ppl say that. I'm gonna teach my son he is mixed and should be proud of both sides! @breloya

Sadly, I've seen it. I've seen some whites say to mixed people "you're black" and I've seen some blacks say "you're white" and so, some mixed people don't know where they fit in. And you're teaching him right.

Yes that's why a lot my mixed ppl stick together. I just don't understand why we can't be people. And thank you. So are you. And our mixed kids are the best 😍 @breloya

Y'all are people. We all are. Sad everyone doesn't understand that race shouldn't matter. We're all the same and we all bleed the same. And #swirlnation #swirlbabies lol.
