Im a biracial child. Mom white. Dad black. I hate when people call me just one because i am not white. I am not black. I am both, Perfectly combined together to make myself. I hate when people look at me and say im white but Then hear me talk and call me black. I am both. I am not one or the other. It doesnt fluctuate. It is constant. I am constantly myself. And I am biracial. I hate the racism when it comes to being biracial or mixed. Many women have walked up to me in the mall while i was really young and touched my hair. Strangers thought they could touch a little girls hair without permission because shes mixed. That was terrifying to me. A woman told my mom she was going to hell for making me with a black man. That was in walmart. So many people would look at my mom and then me and my brother and scowl. Black or white. They thought i was a mistake. Someone said to my mom that I was a disgrace and that she was lucky i looked more white than black. I was 6.... Many black women claimed my mom shouldnt put my hair in "white hairstyles" and cornrow it instead so people will know I'm black too. I hated walking into school with my dad and having teachers look worried for my safety. I hated being fair skinned and going swimming and coming back with a tan and having my friends say "now you look more mixed". (Excuse me?) I hated when the black side of my family would shun me but accept my much more darker brother.

I hate how people look at me and assume ive never dealt with discrimination or racism because I'm so fair.

UPDATE: I never said that I hate one side or the other. I am both. I am not one or the other. I never said I dont identity with being black. I do, as being HALF black. Its very interesting that people who arent biracial try to tell me how I feel. Or what I go through. Yes many of the negative things come from being black *NEWS FLASH* Racism still exists and POC such as blacks are a target. I am half black so i experience my own biracial racism. Which is what this post is about. I get alot of shit for being white as well. Its not nearly as bad. Mostly just insults about my mother and me being rejected from my own family. We all know being black is harder than being black because of the racist society we live in so most of my complaints were about how people react when they find out Im black as well as white. For the last damn time, I dont identity as shit. You dont choose your race when you're mixed. The same as when you arent. I am both. Not one or the other. Both. I am mixed. I am biracial.
