Iagree with you . I do not see or understand their need to feel isolated,different,and to always say how hard it was to belong to neither world.
I say get over.You have to or just wear a sign around your neck.YEAH,I have been there,questioned,looked upon oddly,didn't fit in and I am BA and these experiences have been with BA-Creole people.
I am on the order of Karyn Parsons,Soledad O'Brien and I have told up front,questioned, and shunned by Black -Creole people , first cousins even! I am considered waaaaay Blaaaaacccckkk. Identifiable Black.
It has been made clear to me many times. .I am BA. I like me. I accept me. I moved on. I accept me.I will never have straight hair. I will never look White.I will never be dark brown either.I will never look the Jacksons either. I am me.
