I've lived somewhat in your shoes for more than a few years. Although I don't know (inside) what it feels like to be looked down upon because my skin color, but think about this. In some instances, I've actually had it worse than you. You're black and some white folks frown on for that. How about a white dude that's become a "traitor" to his own race? When I'm walking around any mall or grocery store or wherever with my oldest daughter, it wasn't surprising to see white folks scoff at me and hearing the comments that I've ruined my life. The pressure can be just as hard on me because I "could have it made" but instead I chose to "fucc my life up" because I'm relating to and starting families with black folks. To me, I have it made more than ever because of my relationship with my black folks. I'm the proud owner of the knowledge of another more proud and storied culture than my own. If you don't know it now, minorities are more proud of their history than the white race is of their own. Later, QD.
