I'm glad to see biracial babies are no longer stuck in orphinages the unwanted children.


Kids can be crule some of the children hate going to school, because of all the hatered toward them.


My grandchildren are biracial no contact with father or his family.


They don't understand why they are treated different I wish I had the answers.
Their true friends are a happy rainbow the question WHAT ARE YOU is never even thought of.These children are our future,not the ones that can no longer be their friend because they are MIXED. [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif[/img]

It's basically the parent's responsibilty to teach their children how to handle those situations of hatred that will definitely come up. Mostly from other children who's parents have taught them to be the way they are. Remember, children are taught to act the way they do by the people around them. They also mimmick what they see daily and immitate others behavior as well. If taught not to worry about anothers race, but to be aware of the cultural differences, children will be fine with it.

It is the generation of the baby boomer parent's (mainly caucasian) that have had the difficulty of accepting the whole "bi-racial" thing. when i told several elderly couples of this place i used to go and worship on Sundays, that i was marrying a white man, all they could say was that it wasn't going to work because i'm mexican and he was white.


my children were discrimminated against by my own race; very sad!but i was pepared for it because i was discriminated against by white people by the time i was six years old therefore making me stronger in my core beliefs of who I am in Christ Jesus.


i instilled excellence, greatness and success early on in my children so at anytime in their lives when they encountered any kind of hardshipthey already had a deep sense of who they were and are now. i eventually enrolled my children in public school in the seventh grade at an 85% black school and my children never knew the difference until voleyball practice one day.my daughter'scoach started making remarks to my daughter about whom her friens were. the coach used the word "colored" and my daughter had to ask her what did she mean by that. this coach made no bones about it and when my daughter told me what was said, i went ballistic at home.


the next morning i was at the school with several of the School Board Members for what turned into a week's worth of meetings with other students and their parent's. i felt sick to my stomach because for the first time in my children's lives they learned on a grander scale about dicrimmination.


Biracial relationships are beautiful but it all begins with your own sense of personal and developed core system. not with what your parent's or sibling's walked away from home, but it's what you believe in your heart is right.


here in the south, discrimmination is a bit more prevelant than where you all live. the main reason i'm divorced is because my ex- found my sister more appealingthan me, not because i'm mexican.

i am mixed and if i'm being honest i had it easier than alot of kids. white girls always commented that they wished they could be tan like me and blk girls loved to play in my hair. sometimes not very often i was asked what are you and i always said black. if people asked for detail i would say my mom is white my dad is blk etc though people always thought i was hispanic...and yes most of the successful models are mixed. its really not that hard, i think other people, who are not mixed make it more of an obstacle than it is.

My ex husband is mixed(black and Native American) and people ask me all the time if our children are mexican. Fortunately in the major metropolitan area we live in there are a lot of mixed race people and they've never experienced discrimination because of it but my own grandmother once said she never understood how people can love mixed race babies because all the ones she'd ever seen were ugly. All the mixed race kids I've ever seen are the most beautiful children in the world and several strangers have walked up to me to tell me my littlest one is the cutest baby they've ever seen(of course I already knew that ;-). My new boyfriend is half Japanese and it seems strange to think other people might find it odd for me to be attracted to men outside my own race. I'm attracted to white men too but I've never happened to be in a long term relationship with one. I figure as hard as it is to find love nowadays, why limit ourselves?

I have two beautiful interracial daughters, they are 26 and 23. They are black/white. They didn't really experience much prejudice in school, but sometimes I felt it as a parent. My philosophy has always been, people will react to how you present yourself, and I was always very up-front and in your face with how incredible my daughters are. It's amazing the change this made to people who wavered on how they felt about my girls. Now my girls are dating, one dates white men exclusively and the other black men, both are secure in their raceand have the same issues with men and dating as the rest of us.

Hi I'm happy for you that you had a happy childhood.Why did you say you were Black?


They just don't take it anymore. They are comfortable in theri own skin and know it is the ones that stay in there own little group are missing out on many oppertunies to get to know a life time of friends. High school never changes somebody has to be put down so a small man can feel tall. Smile[img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif[/img]

I agree education is the key,our home has been filled many times with multible races and was never thought of.Then we moved to corn fed country were the good ol' boys still sit at the local cafe


and drink coffee half the morning.When they show no respect for women and children .As we leave I tell the kids that is the reason the other children act the way they do.They are beautiful people who will rise above the small minds. Thank-You for your input it an up hill journy that we travel one step at a time.Smile[img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif[/img]

You know I wonder how much the idea of an mixed President of the US (potentially Barack Obama) might change attitudes. If the leader of the free world is mixed, it could have a big effect on the acceptance of the idea as normal. Plus I imagine a good "self-esteem" boost for any mixed kids who feel uncomfortable with it. A mixed President could literally be an inspiration.
