i think we learned that plessy and a group of black supporters of staged this incident specifically to challenge the social structure of things, so yeah i think its important to point out that he was "turning his back on being black" or anything which doesnt make sense to attempt to do in a society where people know you are black.

you know, i recently learned that about plessy! thanks for adding that here. it changes the story some doesn't it.

I really enjoy your video blogs....they are very inspiring...I was wondering if you could adress they issue on skin COLOR and being mixed.ppl tell me i have pretty hair but thats the only way they like i am mixed.that makes me so upset because everybody who is of mixed is not of Light Color.I am black and Dominican but i have dark skin....what would you do in this situation?

Hey i have a question. Both my parents are black/german 2 black grandmothers 2 white grand fathers um??? am i considered biracial? I cant be multi racial because milti racials have three or more different races and i only have 2 so im confused. Answer please. Thanx:)

@lanicert i thought so, but I was just wondering because some first generation biracial people seem to think people like me just want to be part of the club. But a lot of the issues she talks about I've dealt with myself.

But thanks, anyhow!

@Canyadigit2 Hi. I know that your question wasn't addressed to me, but it seems that if your parents are of Spanish (Spain) and African ancestry, even if they are from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, you are multi-racial.

@haikatrine2 lol! Most of the black women I know who grew up with the hot comb couldn't wait to get away from that thing! Flat irons are much safer for the ears, neck, scalp, etc. lol!

hilarious!!

[hatelizwebber]

Why don't you just use Maxiglide instead? The hot comb is barbaric looking.

@miitchwas Ok, I recently went through all of the comments to figure out what I said regarding why you replied to one of my statements, and I realized your respnse has nothing to do with my statement. I think you replied to the wrong person.

[daluckyprincess]

@miitchwas I have not been to this video in over a year. I don't even remember what I said at this point lol.

@daluckyprincess mulatto is a nice sounding word for half breed
