I've also noticed it depends on the feed for example in my opinion, yahoo is one of the worst, and WSJ is one of the best in regards to appropriate comments.<br /><br />Really, I don't understand those people. More people have a mixed, extended family today. I have first and second cousins that are as you say "mocha". I have nieces and nephews with one hispanic parent. One of my best friend's children are Asian and Caucasian. Many of the families I know are mixed either by race or ethnicity in some way. <br /><br />I wish I had been able to have a second child. It is difficult for an only child in a low population state; there are not a lot of PG kids, but on the other hand, we have been fortunate in regards to well- educated adults willing to teach or mentor.Butterfly 8)(8 Bungalow https://www.blogger.com/profile/12407401010841427366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083149706766481366.post-19143196409820190682011-08-23T19:07:01.725-07:002011-08-23T19:07:01.725-07:00((Doresa)) I feel like I've found a kindred s...((Doresa)) I feel like I've found a kindred spirit. Thanks for posting this. <br /><br />No. We're not black (at least in this house, though my nephews and cousins are mocha (love that!)). We are multi racial though. Growing up a female Hispanic and Native, and only sometimes "passing", I might have an inkling of your concerns.<br /><br />Your daughter and sons will grow up strong with your support. We can create our own tribes (even if they have to be virtual).Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183821631585672805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083149706766481366.post-78409245857038263372011-07-18T08:35:08.184-07:002011-07-18T08:35:08.184-07:00Found you here after following your link on the t...Found you here after following your link on the tagfam list. I appreciate and admire you very much for sharing this. I am reminded of the Nina Simone song of a similar title (love her music). I can only imagine what it must be like and I am glad for your kids they have you for a mom, what amazing people they will grow up to be! I can only hope that the responses to 'that' article were so one sided because most people felt it didn't deserve the energy it would take to post a thoughtful refutation. Thank you for your blog. You are insightful, encouraging and it has a very inclusive and welcoming feel.Trillyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01105860232445027178noreply@blogger.com
