These are my thoughts and experience I have actually been asked my race
before, believe it or not. I have been asked if I was a biracial child when I'm
actually I’m a full African American. A boy has actually argued with me, not
asking me but telling me that I am mixed. He told me my mother was white or
mixed with white when my mother is black fully black. It made me feel none less
then myself. I knew I was black and my mother and father was black. It didn’t make
me mad or hurt my feelings or leave me thinking. When people first meet me that
am the first question they seem to ask and I actually use to look at myself in
the mirror and ask myself do I look mixed. I never thought I looked mixed I always
seen my African American person. It doesn’t make me feel any different. Its just
kind of crazy because people see me and/or tell me that I am a biracial child
when I’m not. I find it amazing how people can put another person in there own
box even if the person has defined there self. People should be able to define
them self before the next person try’s to box them in a category of their own.
