I moonlight as a photographer in a mall shop. Last night i was @ work and this cute young couple comes in. black guy, white girl, and young son maybe 2-3 mos old.
they want just the baby, but i made sure to get some with dad and baby and then mom and baby. I asked them if they wanted a couples shot or family shot for their last pose, and they hesitated. The girl told me they are not TOGETHER but it would be nice to have a family picture to give the child when he's old enough to start asking questions (and if i do say so myself, it was a great portrait).
As they're viewing the shots the chick said to babydaddy "Your mom would like this. we can get her one. Too bad we won't be able to send this anyone on my side."
I was WTF?!?!?! but sad at the same time. I can't imagine my parents not accepting my child or my child's father. I'm not a parent tho, so maybe its just something i won't ever understand.
Anyway, i write all that to say people need to stop trippin on this interracial thing. Especially disowning / not acknowledging the children who are born from these relationships.
