40. Interesting point about biracial.
"One thing I know for sure.... I don't want to be categorized as Biracial. I believe that categorization to be just an illusion to help the White man divide and conquer. It actually harkens back to the slave days.....when there were the Creoles, the mulattoes, the Quadroons, the Octoroons, etc... Labels which sounded very exotic and mysterious .....but in the end, if you asked any of those groups for their birth certificates, it said the exact same thing on all of them--Negro."



I did not think of it that way. Would you feel the same way if one of your parents was black and one of you parents was another race but not white?

Do you only identify with you father's race?
