Hey Boy, you don’t act Black
Anthony Strong,
Pheonix, AZ.
Being mixed, half black and half Cuban, my life has been a hurricane of racial confusion, offenses, and frustration. I was raised in a predominately African-American area and then moved into a primarily white suburb by my mother. I have had a chance to look at things from all angles. One thing remained through all of the cultural change around me and that was being told that for a Black boy, I didn’t “act black”. Whatever that is suppised to mean…
How did you get a boy?
Claire Wallick Moy,
Maplewood, NJ.
This is what I was asked in 1998 when I moved to NJ.
Our 3 children look much more like their father than me.
so many girls have been adopted from China in this generation, but not boys.

Am I the care giver? Well yes I am.

Meet My WHITE AFRICAN AMERICAN Son
Janice Davidsson,
Norfolk, VA.
You can’t help who you fall in love with and this American girl fell in love with an African boy. So that makes our son African American. Here’s the catch that a lot of people have an issue with… He’s white. He has blonde hair and blue green eyes and is the reason I have taken out stock in sun screen. For all who claim Africa what country is it that you are claiming? My Husband and son are proud to be South African and they shouldn’t have to deny their roots that are still deep in both South Africa and the States because it upsets the few who claim a continent full of countries.
no kissing in public gay boy

It’s awkward enough seeing others making out in public, but for a gay man to just give a loving peck to his significant other still tends to be frowned upon at times. Not really race related, rather orientation, but it’s of the same ilk.
You call friends “boy.” I cannot.
