MiXED RACE...HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT iT?

I'm mixed with African, French and Native American Indian. I am proud of who I am and I feel that my racial mixure lends a unique perpective on life. My parents spoke Creole French as a first language. My dad had hair. Our family recipes are more Native American and Creole French that anything else. I can see the beauty in all these things. Some of my ancesters where probably slaves and some slaveowners. Some were here before the first white man walked this continent. Some hail from the great African expanses. All is a part of me. Its like a rich world of history and culture that I have to draw upon and learn from and I consider myself fortunate. Plus, all that race mixing didn't hurt me in the looks department. LOL
