all I'm sayin' is hanging out with a certain crowd or community of people is not going to rearrange your genetic makeup.
If you're white and hang with blacks...you're still white.
If you're black and hang with whites...you're still black.
If you're biracial and you hang out with x you're still biracial.

If someone sees you as black, and you're biracial, at the end of the day you know who/what you are irregardless of what other people think or how they treat you. So I don't buy that argument.

I really think people complicate the issue.

I associate myself more with African issues and lifestyle, but I identify myself as a half white, half black individual. It is not rocket science and honestly I have little sympathy for "tragic mulatto" types. Be true to thyself and you'll be aight. Let everyone else burn their brains out with their confusion but I know who I am and whatever actions by myself or others will never change that.
