Love Bryan and Law's theme
You mama told you you could take her Another Bad Creation tape out the deck?

Aye, fuck you.
She never owned the ABC album. She owns BBD's "Poison" thank you very much!
First off, that tape was the shit. Secondly, I lost that Cd like 15 years ago.

I read a Coli thread about bi-racial kids out of curiosity. I shouldn't have done that. Talking about kids as if they're not kids but a mistake. Made me think of my bi-racial family members and how much difficulty they'll have finding acceptance in life and I'm sad. I know I'm talking foolishly. It's something I really care about because of kids in my family that I love and care about. They may not be strictly one race but I hope they can still find acceptance in life.
I hate this subject so much, being bi-racial has been a constant struggle of "too black" versus "not black enough" for my entire life. I have recently been less hesitant to offer my opinion, especially on race, because I felt people getting too comfortable around me and throwing some slight jabs at black people or other minorities in my presence. They see my light skin and my employer and think that I'm some kind of apologist.
Nah, son. I'm woke.
We gotta get progress somewhere.
I can easily pass as being white so it's always an uphill battle for me when I tell people I'm actually half. Most people are surprised when I tell them and usually have a bunch of questions about why I'm so light. Once in a while I'll get people who think I'm lying to them. Doesn't help that I live in a city with a pretty small black community, so they've probably never seen a mixed kid like me. I've always struggled with my racial identity because of how light I am, but now as an adult if you ask me "what I am" I will always reply that I'm black first, but half white, because my black heritage is incredibly important to me and if I don't hold on to it then nobody will.
I definitely feel like an outsider sometimes though, because I'm always having to flash my credentials to even be considered black, but I do recognize that I benefit greatly from white privilege. I always joke that I'm a secret black person or that I was accidentally given white privilege on the way out of being born.

I grew up looking bi racial and I had no issues. I remember in kindergarten when a white girl in class asked me what color I was, I looked at my complexion for the first time in that context and told her I was tan. I casually told my parents the story, and my father told me from jump; you're black, because to some of these folks you'll always gonna be a nigger, so the sooner you accept it, the better off you'll be and the sooner you can appreciate your history, culture, and heritage. I was also taught to love, respect, and appreciate Black women, and it must've worked because I've always had Black girlfriends despite women of other races trying to holla at me.
I also lived in a predominately black neighborhood, and went to a predominately black high school and never had any issues with me looking bi racial. Sure I was called White boy, Lite Brite, Yellow Boy, etc... but it usually in jest or as a term of endearment and I was never insecure about my identity. I thank Pops for making secure in who I was at an early age.

Yoo i knew it was racist, but I didn't know it was that deep.
The Coli is like that friend you have who you would hate if you took thek seriously. If that friend talked hating women, hating gays, hating trans people, hating interracial dating, hating interracial porn if it's white guy/black woman, thinking Kobe is the best ever, bein an all around dumb nigga.
Interracial porn with white guys is a no

Black men that could pass for white played a role in exposing the lynching that was occurring and forming the NAACP.

My homegirl hit me up about her well off Oracle District Manager boyfriend, and how he gives her his credit card to get whatever she wants and wanting to marry her, but she's not physically attracted to him and how lame he acts like bragging to his friends, coworkers, and total strangers how beautiful his girl is. LOL
I told her she better marry him for that security, and cheat with the neighbor.

So I'm playing Def Jam Fight for NY and I'm thinking who would be in the sequel if it was ever made?
It feels like console warrioring straight off the schoolyard. I remember when kids used to talk shit on games that were coming to a console they didn't own. It was always so that they wouldn't feel bad or like they were missing out on something. Now we're at the age were we can buy these things for ourselves and it feels like people are still holding on to that mentality.
I feel a sense of nostalgia reading through those threads because of it.
I was going to correct you, but it's better to pretend Def Jam Icon doesn't exist.

I feel like I should make a comprehensive offtopic thread on cultural appropriation of Black American culture just to make people either feel mad or uncomfortable. LOL

Snoop died though. Unless we do a reboot or something.
I can only imagine how my brother and his wife are handling that situation with their kids. I don't think either is quite old enough to start thinking about racial identity, maybe the older one is getting there. Has anyone here by any chance had to raise bi-racial kids or seen the experience firsthand?
A thing that get's my attention about my nephews is that their circle of friends includes multiple bi-racial kids of the same age.

What are the bi-races? Is it half black/half other or something else

Yeah, this is what worries me a lot. The kids in my family who are bi-racial benefit from white privilege off and on, but definitely not to a large degree since they're still hit with racism constantly everywhere they go, and rejection. I'll kick anyone's ass who shits on those kids, and so will their families.
This is how I hope their lives will go, but it hasn't so far. I hope they learn to respect black folk and appreciate their history, culture, and heritage too. And your Dad was right. If you look black and/or have a black parent, then to others you'll always be black. People will always be trying to label you. Another thing is that these kids are young, so I get worried they'll become confused or won't properly understand their identities because people toss them back and forth so much.
I know, it just reminded me what kind of rejection those kids will face, and that's something I worry and care a lot about. Just to clarify I'm talking a niece on my side, and cousins on my wife's side. We've considered adopting the cousins as our kids since they have no steady family currently, but we aren't stable enough financially. It's not just the biracial kids I worry about either. There's kids in my family who are gay as well that I worry for who are having a really hard time and won't even come out to most of the family for fear of rejection. I wish I could say they have nothing to worry about, but a good chunk of my family can be really shitty.
Anyway, sorry to bring all this up. I just wanted to get it off my chest and discuss it with somebody.
One problem is that my niece and cousins don't have many black influences in their lives. My niece has her Dad go back and forth between being there and not, along with my nephew who lives with him. The cousins have none and I think they need that influence desperately.
