im biracial myself and i think biracial peopel are sell outs wheneer itry and go for a mixed person like myself they either like a milky white person or a tar black person
people n my life tell me to go for my own kind but even my own kind dont like themselves WHY do biracial people either go for extreme dark or exreme white people are you ashamed for your kids to be mixed liek you and just make your kid more of one race for a reason?
wow me too my mom is native american and black my grandmother is too and my great grandmother and my great great grandmother was full ntive american and my great great grandfather but he was half black
OMG I've been reading comments and i see most people are really confused there is only one race and 3 ethnic minorities. You can mix ethnicities but not race because there is only one.
MLK WAS AWESOME INDEED- his loss was/ is a travesty to the world.
Ist.)you sound like my father & you've made a good reminder (to at least a couple of people.That is A GOOD THING.Can't stress that enough.
2nd)If you are not "bi-racial" you may not understand how it feels when you feel kind of like the odd person out who does not "fit in" on either side. So they just try to "be themselves". So I think she means she has HAD to be strong(er) re:that. Me 2
I'm mixed with black and white and my boyfriend is black and indian. Together we made a beautiful daughter and I'm teaching her to embrace who she is ethnically and culturally..Thanx 4 tha enlightening video *keep it up*
Whatever that is so typical of most Blacks too say that. I think if Blacks that are mixed want too say they are Black and thats it so what! Obama does it. But low and behold when a mixed person with African Ancestry says they are mixed and has the right too not claim just one race most Black people come out the against us. I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT EVERYONE ELSE CALLS THEMSELVES I ONLY CARE ABOUT MY OWN EXPERIENCE AND I DESERVE THAT RIGHT TOO IDENTIFY MYSELF AS SUCH.
Obama does identify himself as is, but he also identify as a black man. MOST americans(blck or white) will view him as a black man- the first BLACk president. U seldomly hear folks talkin about the first biracial President. The media as well as political leaders make fun of him by using racial Inndoenos and such. U can call yourself whatever you like but the truth is this your BLack. mind u most Native A. dont even reconize blacks ppl. Maybe ur family does, but anything outside of that.. please!

ok if your 50% or more black YOUR BLACK thats what they put you under..my great-great-grandmother was white but because i am black i am black i am kind of like tyra banks because I have green eyes but I classify myself as black. Its so0o sad how now and days people are not proud to be black.. You cant just be black you have to be "multiracial to be accepted" its sad it really really is. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL i love the fact that I am black =)
TWO BLACK PARENTS? what about when mixed race people get marreied and have kids they wont have parents of two diffrent races. are you going to tell them that they are black just with a lighter color? become a light skin black.
There is a new racial classification and that is MULTIRACIAL I choose too identify myself as that. I don't think that most Blacks understand where I am coming from because I was raised differently. I am around Black people now but they know me and my family and they don't care. They know we are native, white and black. I won't ever be just Black. You can if you want too.

a lot of what people are saying down below me, is all about aesthetics. which isn't fair. sometimes one gene may come out more than the other, the black gene or african if you prefer, is dominate like the asian gene. so it's all a stereotype.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
To be honest with you Greenly100 when i saw your picture you just look plain black to me. I am african light skinned girl from west Africa and i don't have nappy hair and my parents are both light skinned also and i am still black and African and i am proud of that. Because at the end of the day when people see me that first thing they would say is "a black girl" they wouldn't say oh a mix girl just because a person look like they might be mixed doesn't really mean that they are.
Dumb people. Mariah Carey is mixed but she looks white? Why do people stereotype on what I mixed race or cultural person looks like? Its too bad you don't have a pic I could probably tell you that you just look like a plain african too.

you r so right. A coworker of mine is Etrean( i dont know if i spell that right) from africa and he and his children looks mix but their not. some folks are shock when he say that he's african.
in africa there are all types of blacks with straight, curly, kinky, long, short hair, with a variety of features. I never been to africa but i know many n my grnd mother as well as mother been to north, south and west parts of africa. people just dont understand how beautiful it is. Greenly is black.
Yes we are the same I love meeting the people who are mixed and aware of our cultural ties and proud to be a part of the tribe even if we aren't reconginzed by the administration...we know the truth! Halito!
I am Irish/Jamaican and my husband is Nigerian/English, we have two beautiful children. My husband and I were born and live in the UK and identify ourselves as mixed race. Our children are proud of their heritage and when asked their ethnicity they will say Jamaican/Irish/English/Nigerian. I liked your response to mulatto diaries. Just thought i would let you know : )
Thank you for that positive response! I don't get that very often. Your absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see your hair and makeup tips( I need help) lol!

I am so glad and relieved that you identify as being mixed race. Because that's exactly what you are.
If only all the other mixed-breeds like yourself and your husband adopted this mentality as opposed to calling themselves "black" it would be a very good thing indeed.
You mean you're dad looks Indigenous? or does he look like a "mix" of Indigenous and European? BTW, there are Black Mexicans. Do the research. Because there is no specific 'Mexican look." lol. I mean I know what folks TRY to say when they say, "mexican looking, or "latino looking." The original "latinos" are white...but that word has evolved in the USA. So a "Latino" can be of any type of "looks." Do a research.

Also, even mixes of other races have this issue...a friend of mine who is mainly Asian (but has a black and white mix) had issues when people told her she wasn't black and most of the biracial or mixed kids I went to school with only identify as black...however I think we should be free to be who we are regardless of color...it irks me to no end that because my skin is brown, people assume that I am going to be ghetto and when I start to speak, it is a surprise to them that I am articulate!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Interesting topic Greenly! It's kinda weird...in the south(well I'm from MD if you consider that south), even if a child looks clearly like another race and not black at all they are told to identify strictly with the black race...my mother's family was like this and they appear mixed or white in appearance...I think a lot of this has to do with the racism that was perpetuated by whites during that era...nowadays I do believe that people should have the freedom to fully represent who they are...
Yes I agree that clearly had to do with the past and how the southern people in that time decided how they want to define us....as a people. The thing is that now....we live in a different era and new day. I thing we should be able to define ourselves! not the government or anyone else. I am not African my husband is and he even tell me that that doesn't make sense to most Africans why blacks even choose African...We should be labeled as just AMERICANS if anything.

Oh Wow, Greenly! What a fascinating story you have! Thank you so much for sharing this. I love how you talk about peace and brushing things off and the values that were instilled in you by your biracial parents. I'm part cherokee, but don't have much of a connection to that heritage. I feel connected to it on some spiritual level, but no one in my family know or talks much about it. And I do NOT think you are unattractive!! Maybe you're just having a bad hair day like me (hence the braids).
whats funny is that most african americans dont have native american blood..beens proven
