I'm a bi-racial woman in America.

Top that. Seriously - no seriously.

I'm the welfare queen.
The tragic mulatto.
The ugly and 'angry' one.
I 'steal' - since I shop while black.
I will be treated 'less than' when my white husband and I are in a hospital for the delivery of a child. . . because well - you know - no one wants black women so they just get knocked up and pop out babies.

Now that said - I see your point. But get over it. I've gotten all of those things that vast majority of NON Liberal/Progressive white men think of me as outline above - but you need to get the chip off your shoulder too.
