I guess I just think that change is inevitable, advances in possibilities are inevitable, and you can either fight it or you can take it for what it's worth and try to keep the world going as best you can.
The sad truth is it really is much tougher to grow up as a kid of mixed color.
This is very general, but it seems that Blacks tend to see you as too
white. And of course Whites see you as Black. It aint easy.

I think this whole deal was a big publicity stunt.
Could have been avoided. This was probably not
the first time this has happened. First publicized.
