What are the positives to being biracial?

I'm glad we agree.

I would hate repeat hate to have a young dark skin male teenager and watch him drive away.

You might be able to reduce the risk by moving to Hawaii for those years.

I once have a fairly dark skin Latin co-worker who allow a young lady hair stylist to talk him into having to him new hair style only to find in short order that it was a local gang haircut and so until the hair grow back he was stop many times by the police.

You agree with me more than you like to admit.

White nationalists are opposed to any form of mixed race. Remember the Nazis talking about one drop of blood contaminating the whole.

Funny how those who are most vocal about the white race have contributed **** all to civilisation, no scientists or doctors there, just a bunch a sad idiots.

It’s hard telling someone the advantages of being of more than one heritage when you’re not that yourself. One would imagine that they would be aware of both heritages.

I think it all depends on the parents and grandparents, they can instil a sense of pride and belonging in both cultures instead of feeling isolated from both.

Over here we say mixed race, biracial sounds sounds a bit prescriptive, what if three heritages are involved, triracial, or four, quatroracial?

Many mixed race people have more than two heritages, keep it simple and accurate.

I have raised three multi-cultural children. Their mother is Mexican (raised in Mexico). My children each have a different skin tone, one is quite dark, and one is basically considered White by anyone who doesn't know her family.

Talking about "multi-racial" in Mexico is ridiculous. Pretty much everyone is a mixture of Indigenous with Spanish and German and French. There aren't very many people in Mexico who don't have both Indigenous and European blood.

The United States was colonized by England. The English brought White Supremacy and forbade intermarriage. I think that this was true in most British colonial powers. The British preferred to kill the indigenous people than to mate with them.

The Spanish colonized Mexico. Where as the British had a simple White or not White paradigm, the Spanish had a carefully constructed system of races with words for how many idigenous grandparents you had. That isn't to say that racial disparities don't persist... but pretty much everyone carries the heritage of indigenous ancestors.

Colonialism was bad all around, but I tend to think that Spain was the less horrible.

Thanks for the reply... And thanks for being respectful. I appreciate it...

So, you're saying that race isn't genetic...? It's just "imagined" by people? If so, then I would say that's an extremely dishonest take on race.

Let's do an exercise.

Name a race, and then we will discuss how that race relates to genetics (hint: it doesn't).

Do you want to talk about the genetics of "Whites"? or would you prefer to talk about "Blacks" or "Asians" or something else.

I can easily show you how stupid this is. Just pick one.

You: The British preferred to kill the indigenous people than to mate with them.

Me: A lot of Native Americans thought the same way... They would rather kill whites and their families, instead of being on friendly terms with them ((and a lot of them did)), so what's your point there exactly...? Or should I say, what's the point behind the point you're making? ; )

I agree with your comment... Some-what. Like I said, I myself am biracial ((Native American/Sioux and White)). I can see where white nationalists are coming from... To some degree ((in wanting to preserve their culture)), but I also see the point you're making too... Some-what. : )

So race is imaginary, and doesn't exist... Got ya. And you said you were Jewish, right...? Makes sense. : ) Jews are at the forefront of pushing dis-info/ and false science, so... Yeah... Anyways, don't message me back. I'm not going to go back and forth with someone who isn't honest.

Let's try this again.

1) Race Exists as a social construct.
2) Race is not imaginary since it is a social construct and social constructs are real.
3) Race is not a scientifically valid way to represent genetic differences.

These three things are all true.

The British were colonizers. They weren't here to be "friendly". They were here to steal land, subjugate the people and to make a great deal of profit from it. They took what they wanted and didn't care what happened to indigenous people. To Native Americans the British colonizers always presented a deadly threat, and we see the results now.

I don't believe you are Native American, or if you are I don't think you have very much contact with Native American culture. The idea that when foreigners are coming to invade and steal your land you should be "on friendly terms with them" is a little ridiculous.

You have got to be kidding here.

The British came here and essentially decided that what belonged to the native Americans now belongs to them...and often killed the native Americans in order to achieve that transfer.

The native Americans were here for thousands of years...and did not want some strangers coming in and forcing them out of their property.

And you want to equate those two things?????

YOU are part native American...and I had to explain that to you?

Yeah, you must have been kidding.

If you actually have Sioux ancestry, I strongly recommend that you seek it out and get in touch with your cultural heritage. Learn the history, learn the cultural ideas, learn the language. You should start by seeking out an organization run by people who are actively maintaining this culture.

There is something very special about being bi-cultural, it gives you two distinct ways to understand the world. Having the ability to view one culture from the point of view of another gives you insight that most people never have. Your heritage is something that has to be actively transmitted from one generation to the next. You don't just get it from ancestry.

Well, it wasn't exactly like that from the start... The Vikings were here before the British, and they didn't come here to "steal land", but just to make a place to live... And the Native Americans wiped them all out... I don't even think any of them escaped... Maybe a few did? But yeah... I mean, there was a lot of instances where Native American tribes just wanted to kill people ((even from other tribes, just not Europeans)) just because that's the type of people we are sometimes... We're warrior spirits... But as for me not being Native American, you're wrong... I am, but you are sort of right about me not having much contact with my own people... I am mixed, and I was raised on my mother's side of the family ((my white side)), but never the less I did have a lot of contact with my father's side growing up ((and I still do)) ((which is my Native American side)), and so I know my own people to a good enough extent to know who they are... The Sioux Indian loves to fight... And that's basically all you see happen on the reservation ((is fighting)). Rosebud and Pine Ridge... My father is enrolled in Pine Ridge, and even use to sun dance for the Pine Ridge Indian reservation itself... Also a golden glove boxer he is.

I understand my people better than you do, and I guarantee if you tried to make them look weak in front of their faces as you're trying to do with me (((by placing the British above them in anyway))), they would give ya the two piece... Sleep ya. Lol. ; ) I wouldn't though... I'm not as "warrior" as some of those people are... I was raised differently, and I'm also mixed. I am also very big on ethics.

Okay....? And if given the opportunity, Native Americans would of likely done the same to the British, so what's your point...? lol. You act as if Native Americans are more peaceful or something to the likes, but yet Native Americans were very war-like... A lot of tribes were big on killing other tribes, and there was actual sacred rituals that revolved around killing their enemies. I mean look at the Aztec's for example... One of the Aztec emperor's wearing the skin of another chief's daughter ((literally)). A greater force ((in some regards)) came along and 'conquered' Native Americans... They lost 'their land' ((even though this planet doesn't 'belong' to anyone)) and yeah, got 'colonized'. It happens... Am I going to sit here and cry around about it...? No. I'm not weak... You would likely do that, but I wouldn't. I'm not you man. : )

Everyone here knows you are full of crap. You should look up the meaning of the word "Viking".
