I’m a white 73 year old grandmother of seven who has always lived in the midwest. I am grateful that I grew up in a family that judged people by the “content of their character” I rejoiced when we elected Barak Obama two times as our president and am so pained when such awful things are said about him just based upon his race. As a child I did not understand how just “one drop of blood” would identify one as black and “inferior”. It seemed to me that if that “one drop” was so strong to overwhelm the so called superior blood, how could it make the person inferior. Just do not get it!
Interracial marriage isn’t a bad thing.

My parents moved my sister and I out of Milwaukee in the early 1970’s to avoid the repercussions of desegregation. We were very young at the time so we did not understand the reason for the move. Later on my siblings and I attended an inner city high school, Washington Park High School, in Racine, WI where we had friends of many races. Black, Latino, Asian, and White. It was not until almost a decade ago, eight years, when I dated and later married a black Latina woman. I credit my family, schooling, and friendships with enabling me to not see my wife as black and Latina, but just as a woman. My wife is remarkable.
