MissyI am a single mother who is 28 years old and the only bi-racial child in my family on both sides. My father was black and my mother is white and I look like a "white girl". I have always (and still am) closer to the "black" side of my family and at the age of 8 decided that just because I could pass for white, that was something that I would never, and have never done. I am very proud of who I am and wouldn't change my racial diversity for any thing! I was raised in a "white" neighborhood and spent the summers with my black grandparents. To this day I go down to my fathers side of the family every weekend I can. I have a 7 year old son who I am trying to raise "color blind" and he believes that the color of your skin has nothing to to with the content of your character! I questioned how good of a job I was doing until he got John Glenn and Martin Luther King, jr. mixed up in school, I asked him if he wanted me to point out the difference in order to help him keep them straight and he said "Mommy, I know the difference, John Glenn went around the moon and Dr. King didn't ride buses"! Not one word about the obvious color difference! I think that was my proudest moment as a parent! Anyway, I would love to hear from other people that are multi-racial and "compair notes, so to speak, on life.
