VERY good piece. Mr.&#...'Afternoon, Ms. Pants<br /><br />VERY good piece. Mr.'s Swerdlick and Sewer remind me of talking with my, now, 26 year old daughter.<br /><br />Her mother and I raised her (and our son. but she's MUCH more "hard core") to be comfortable with and proud of having her dual heritages. A result was us having to go to both her grade school and high school more than once because she would inSIST on, on standardized tests, shading both the black and white categories for race. NEVER backed down on this. Made for some fun times.<br /><br />As Mr. Serwer points out, though, it has never been easy and, clearly, still isn't being mulatto (my daughter will use that term but she prefers "mixed". kinda like her old man who CAN say "African-American" but prefers "black").<br /><br />Thank you for shedding some more much needed light on what a growing segment of people - GLOBALLY, I might add - have to contend with.Blackmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-77291866772222221732011-10-11T09:36:16.959-05:002011-10-11T09:36:16.959-05:00robinswing - Don't you just know in your bones...robinswing - Don't you just know in your bones that if the future is in the hands of young people like David and Adam (and your grandkids), we're going to be OK. <br /><br />One other funny story - after I told a friend of mine about this, she gave me some "Obama blend" coffee beans. A local store had combined Kenyan and Hawaiian roasts.
