Quote From: kendellsmai am 21 years old and i have a 1 years old son that is mixed woth black and white. i the mother is white. i live in alabama which is known or said to be on of the most racist states. i love my son and i also love his father but i am worried that biracial children have it hard growing up, to even filing out paperwork when they get old enough. So is it really that hard for a biracial child? i think ithe hardest will be for a black/white child and i say this because my aunt is married to a spanish man and so her sons are spanish/white, but yet my grandparents(her parents) disowned me because my child is black. do i care? no. my child is the most precious thing ever. but like i said i would like different viewpoints on this subject.
I am a native of Mobile AL and I dont think my home state is any more racist than any other. Shortly before I started school my Dad was severly injured in an industrial accident. My Mom went to work to support the family while my Dad was down. My Mom worked with a black lady and she knew Mama was having a very hard time, and that we absolutely had no money for school clothes.
This nice lady, of her own accord, gave my Mama several new dresses that her in laws had bought for her daughter so I didn't have to go to school looking like "second hand Rose".
My Mom and this lady remain friends to this day, 30 years later.
I feel that most of the "racism" you think you are experiencing is a figment of your imagination. People like you just keep perpetuating the myth that the south is still full of biggots and hate mongers.
For the record I was born in the south and resided here my whole life and we are no different than anyone else period.
