[APPLAUDING]: Excellent presentation. I hope you mind that I share this poem with the members of my sisterhood, The Topaz Club, over at Facebook. This is a very inspirational poem.
I'm not Biracial, but I know people who are and some just deny thier blackness altogether and "pass" for white (if thier skin is light enough), others are superafrocentric and will go out of thier way to "prove" thier blackness, it can go either way, but GREAT POEM !
1975... I was one of 15% of white students at an inner-city high school in Hartford, Connecticut. We were standing outside our school waiting to go in after having participated in a gymnastics meet at a school across town. Kids were playing on the basketball court and one called over, "How y'all gonna win anything with a white girl on your team?" Without missing a beat, my friend yelled back, "She ain't white... she's vanilla!"
That was great, I am an African & my wife is Czech, we have a beautiful daughter, used to live in the US, but live in London UK now, so not much issues about interracial relationships or biracial kids, but I would let her watch this, because that's what we teaching her, she is Ghanian & Czech not black or white, would love to see more stuff like this
Bless up Sistah, powerful.

I saw her perform this in person, when she was the feature at our local HS slam. She's amazing and inspiring. I love it.
