Observation:

A child conceived by mixed parents (black and white) is always accepted by whites as a black child (because the child is half black). And that child is usually accepted by blacks as a black child as well, even though the child is half white.

Put another way, a half white, half black child is rejected from being seen as a white child by whites, while that same child is almost always accepted as being seen as a black child by blacks (even though half white).

The implication seems to be, to be white, you must be all white (white’s perception) or you are black. To be half black is good enough to be black (black’s perception).

If this observation is true, the implication is that blacks are more accepting than whites, regarding racial bloodlines. Perhaps this is a function of being a minority, to increase the numbers of the group.

If blacks thought like whites regarding this, it would be tragic for children of black/white parentage, eh? To be both and yet be denied by both?

Ahhh, racism. Any thoughts?
