@alb5801 Her mother could not be herself. It is like having to wear a mask or a disguise all the time: as long as you wear it, nobody knows who you really are and you " should" be all right. It is like hiding a guilty secret. That is no way to live.

@suedefringe The lynching may have stopped in America but the discrimination is still there.

You know what annoys me the most? Any one of us could have been born black. It is a matter of fate, not a matter of choice and to be discriminated against because of something that you did not choose is beyond deplorable. It is revolting how mankind can sink low enough to humiliate someone because of the colour of his or her skin.

@sammy4634 Disgusting that people should be treated like animals just because they married outside their race and this was supposed to be in the twentieth century.

@sammy4634 "They did exploratory surgery on her brain to find out why a white woman would want to marry a black man. " That is not unlike the Nazis who performed experiments on their victims during the holocaust.

@senpailee1967 What I meant was that none of us know what genes we carry In our bodies. You may look white but how do you know that your great-great-grandfather was not black? How do you know that the white person whom you dated and subsequently married did not have a great-great uncle who was black? People are made up of all types of genes, like a jigsaw.

@senpailee1967 Many can look white on the outside but carry a recessive black gene that can manifest itself in a future generation, I.e.,a black grandchild. Has anyone read the tragic story of Sandra Laing?

@seabreeze4559 Self-hatred is just as destructive as the racism directed by other people towards you. Accept yourself for how you are. That is the only way to move forward.

@kkhawk53 It should not be like that. People should accept other people for who they are.

@marsbeads Look, all we have to do is learn to accept those who look "different" from ourselves and live with them. After all, scratch away at the surface and you will see that we are all human beings: one head, two arms, two legs and we all walk upright. There is only one race : the human race.

@casey4602 Really, Casey? That is sad. You would think that one of the most diverse nations in the world would be more tolerant of ethnic minorities, not less.
