Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Is Difficult For People Of Color
One question, Azizi - are you an American? In which case, I would normally not consider you black, but of mixed race. I get into trouble with that with other Americans, I know, but I grew up in Africa, where Americans of color were not considered black. And then my question becomes, why do you not acknowledge the white part of your identity? My friends say it's because the white side was the rapists and takers of advantage, but I'd be interested in other takes, if there are any.
