Growing up I my life identified as white. It wasn't until I had my first child that I began to question this. Both me and my wife have always identified as white our whole lives, god one day decided to bless use with our first child our beautiful African American baby. When my wife gave birth to our gender neutral baby it all made sense! So obvious. I always loved African American music such as DMX, Bob Marley, Biggie and 2 pac. My fashion was always African American too, baggy jeans riding low and lots of ice e.t.c. (always been drawn and tried to emulate the style of my African American heroes). On a trip to Africa with my wife about 9 months before my baby was born I felt so welcomed by the African Americans that lived there and had a sense of home during my visit! I can remember thinking to myself this is where I belong. It's amazing that it took my baby to make me realise what was so obvious all this time. I am in infact African American! For years I blamed myself for not being able to hold down a job or get ahead in life. How foolish have I been. I've been the victim of a racist and prejudice system that's designed oppress and hold minorites like myself down. The lesson here is never assume race, both in yourself or others!
Why are you assuming my pronuns? *Looked at your posting history. Your white. I should have knew. Another prime example of white privilege.
Saying you must be Black because you can't hold down a job is pretty racist and your wife gives birth to an African American baby after visiting Africa is pretty funny.
Yes it is racist ! African Americans like myself are born into a racist system. It's a fact the employers are bias against my race.
