Why do I have to be only ONE race? I'm multi-racial. I really do not like to be forced to classify myself, which is why I say "other" when asked my race. I am not one race, but at least two and possibly three from what I have learned. Therefore, I can't truly be painted into any one. Very few people get my "race" correct. Which is what I said to you before, but I guess you; being like most people with the "one race" mentality, didn't get it. You thought I was denying being black, what I was denying is being painted in one corner. You're not alone, that is normal in this country. Both blacks and whites like to paint me one color. And thanks to the "one race" way this society thinks, I have had to choose my father's side when pushed into the "choose your race" corner.
