I'm "biracial" Tiffany. This is my page. I'm here to talk about what it's like to have a black parent and a white parent in America. I think there's a lot we can learn about race from examining the biracial experience. I believe that we are human first, foremost, and -essentially- only. BUT we live on the earth in america (perhaps) where race is a real and permeating fallacy that influences people's lives daily. i hope i don't sound sarcastic A couple of years ago i literally had a realization that I don't have to subscribe to hypodecent or the one drop rule and i have every right to partake in and enjoy white and black culture equally if i want or i can favor one over the other sometimes or all the time and that i don't have to feel guilty or embarrassed about any of it. I then noticed that i had failed to see my story told anywhere in the mainstream media. i saw biracial women playing "black" roles and having two black parents on screen. i saw that the one drop rule was alive and well in the images we see. and i wonder where else. i want to tell my story. i want to see myself reflected in the world. i want a clear vision of myself. i want other biracial people to have the opportunity to hear someone talk about the things they may have experienced and never heard anyone discuss before. i want people to know what being black and white is like. i think there is a lot to be learned about race in america. i think there is a lot we can learn about how we can make things better. i think there is a lot i can learn about myself and my own prejudices. i hope others will share their stories both similar and different with me.

I think I must have searched mulatto. I also came across a video that cited LOTS of articles authored by our very own Frank Sweet. I think the poster's name was nationalizm. The mainstream media might keep portraying most of us mixies as "black", but they can't keep us from sharing our stories online!
