This is the question either asked, or thought but unasked, by people both Black and White. This is connected to the assumption that one of my parents is White … neither is, though an early ancestor was. Some Black people have questioned whether I was “Black enough” … some Whites have told me that they don’t “see” my race, as if that is a complement. As I’ve gotten older I realize that race is a construct, an encompassing method of identity with unwritten rules that we all seem to think we know.
