I have a problem (hmmmmm) and need to get a solution to why BLACK people act the way they do. I come from a normal (at least i thought i did) until i got to college!! I couldnt believe the drama i got for being MIXED. My father is italian and my mother is black and irish. For some reason BLACK people didnt like the fact that on my father's side it's not uncommon for the men to marry women who are..well white. What is the big deal about marrying a white women and why do the children of mixed race deal with so much flack. They call me "bougie", "stuck -up" "too good" and all kinds of things. I never thought of myself as being better, but it's other who believe this. whats the big deal about marrying a white women.
Sweetheart, it is all in the difference of "mental slavery" of the Afrikan mind...

The difference between the "house" and the "field" negro...

The difference between "desire" of what is the quintessence of "beauty" and what is considered down right "f-ugly"...

As others have mentioned, you need to do your research on the topic.

As a start, rent the video, "Feast of All Saints" as a jump off point, then go into more detail...

As you meander through these travels, if you can get to the transcendence of watching "Sankofa", then the Universe might speak to you and evolve your wisdom accordingly...

Stay blessed.
