    .......the pain we cause each other, we have a lot of healing to do. PEACE family.
  • All of these people are gorgeous. As a light skinned man myself we're not all pretty. You should consider interviewing some folks that don't look like movie stars. These people are so attractive their experiences are different than the less physically attractive

    When we understand that blacks can be blond and blue eyed, and whites can have Asian eyes, we understand then that we are all one species.

    Brother being accused to robbing the place is not in your head. That's what happens all the time.
  • My father’s grandmother,mother, and all of her siblings are listed as mulattos in the 1910 Census in Alabama. My grandmother at the time was 10 years old and this is the way it was until she moved to Missouri in the 1920.My older sister told once that we people’s passing as white,she told me this in1943 at the time I was 3 year’s old.
  • And to note all humans come from one man and one woman so we are all related some how some way!

  • I like this topic! I’m a mixed female and I always get mistaken for black and Brazilian! When I tell them I’m not their shocked! 😳 I’m from a country that was colonized by Germans and half of the natives here have blonde and brown hair! And I speak German at first sight I look black and Portuguese but my father is Native American mixed with black and German.

    japan not racist? probably not true. they had an imperial rule that was based on racial stratification to rule colonized manchuria, (although technically manchuria became its own state)
  • Good Lord, Can everyone just chill & give it a rest? Accept people as people! Tired of this "Us & Them" mentality.
  • @Commentthat
    I'm black as the black tents of the middle east and being black can be a real thing if someone approaches you that thinks about it. And trust me a lot of people still think about it
