Well science (true science) does not contradict God.

For instance, one such young girl wanted to be white like her mom, but her dad was very black and none of the children looked like they had a white mother at all. The girl was upset because she wanted to date a white boy and while she had a lot of white boy friends, none of them she was interested in wanted to date her. The struggle to 'belong' was a horrible thing for her to go through. She isn't the only one I have seen struggle with that issue. Do any of your children voice anything like the above or have you ever seen that?

I have never dated outside of my race simply because I wasn't interested, not because of their color. My sister is dating a black man. I love him regardless because he takes care of her. My brother doesn't like it because he thinks we should 'stick to our own kind' even though he likes the guy as a good friend.

Being with 'our own kind' is normal, I think. While there are some like my sister, mother in law, and yourself who choose to date outside their race, it's not typical.

I love everyone no matter what...unless you pick on my kids. Then I'm a momma bear! LOL!

Good post!

I can speak to what you have in bold, because my niece has experienced that identify crises, her father being Hispanic. Even though a good and decent man, she still struggles with who she is.

One day she was crying and saying, putting her hand up to divide her face, "Half of me is white and half of me is Hispanic. I don't know who I am."

I felt sorry for her, because I don't know what that feels like. All we can do is assure her of our love.

It does render a good example of why some people are opposed to bi-racial marriages. It may not effect the parents as much as it does the children. And in some instances, it effects neither parent nor child.

But for this child, it is a traumatic issue for her. Something she lives with every day of her life.

very blessed it did not happen in my family. My kids (son who is what we call high yellow) like his dad, and my daughter looks fair skinned. I am medium olive tone skin (like golden). My daughter has straight hair and my son has nappy hair. Both are happy in their skin. Asked to write as Essay on being "mixed" for her school....she explained that some kids do have issues, but she is happy to be who she is and from where she came from. She said God made her just the way HE knew she needed to be She also explained each of her ethnic backgrounds that she is learning more of each day. (Apache, German, Black and Hungarian) I feel for kids who have identity issues. As for your niece, I am sure in time and growth, she will overcome this and learn to love who she is and where she came from.

I'm supposed to be Mexican-ish.

There a white boy inside this body...


Feel bad for your niece. Everyone that I know who are halfers favor white culture, whatever that is.
