Why multiracial whiteness? Rejecting a false black identity based on hypodescent and the presumption that your white and other nonblack ancestry are too good for you is the beginning of self-esteem.
In the following article, Jones takes it for granted that she must beg blacks for acceptance and denigrate her white ancestry to achieve this. You know the self-righteous denunciations that would follow (a la "The Human Stain" and "Imitation of Life") if Jones were to accept a more appropriate white identity. Most whites are also more accepting of multiracial whiteness than blacks are of multiracial "blackness."

"Will I ever be Black enough?" One woman's take on the color issue
Kenya Jones. Essence, April, 2005
Kenya, the name chosen for me by my mother over the objections of our family members who thought she was carrying this Black nationalism thing too far, was a reminder to both me and the world of my African roots. My fair skin, hazel yes and thick, blondish hair created by a medley of African, Scottish, Irish and Native American DNA suggested that I should be a Muffy. But my mother wanted it to be perfectly clear that I was Black, just like both my parents.
There was never any confusion on my part. My mother, light-skinned like me, grew up with her young consciousness shaped by the Civil Rights Movement. She registered voters in Mississippi, attended the March on Washington, and met my father while rallying at the trial for Panther leader Bobby Seale.
She never talked much about colorism, something she certainly must have experienced. I wonder now if the frenzy of political activity that filled her life right up until the time of her death caused her to overcompensate for not being Black enough. What does a race woman do when she gets flak from her own people--particularly the sisters she so fiercely loves--because she bears a stronger resemblance to the racial oppressor than to the racially oppressed?
An obsession with color and race is part of the national pastime. But when it's your own race that is obsessed with your skin color, the sting can be particularly hurtful. I will go to my grave remembering the day "Melissa" played the color card. I was vanilla, she was chocolate, and we were best friends. But all that changed during middle-school, when in a fit of anger over some boy, I suddenly became the "high-yellow bitch."
High-yellow. Redbone. You think you're White. You think you're cute. But often it was more subtle than that, The welcome mat could be withdrawn at any time, my membership in the race revoked by whoever--a waitress, a classmate, a coworker--no explanations given. So I tried to reinvent myself. One summer, at a sleepaway camp, where no one knew my past, I was Kenya from the 'hood. Tough-talking, tough-acting, I regaled my cabin mates with stories of my boyfriend in jail, someone so dangerous his fellow gang members nicknamed him Capone. For six weeks that summer it seemed to make me Black enough.
I know that many Black people consider my complexion a badge of privilege. How dare I complain, a college roommate questioned. For many guys, I was a prize. But I couldn't help but notice that I always seemed to attract the brothers who were into White or fair-skinned Latin women. Was I supposed to feel honored that Black men viewed me as the next best thing?
Approaching 30, I am regaining the self-confidence I had as a child--before I discovered that being light or dark matters so much to some of us. I wish the race and color thing would just go away, but that won't happen anytime soon. I figure it's one of God's little jokes so I might as well have fun with it. When White people ask me what I am, I am likely to say Buddhist or Virgo. When another Black person acts in a way that suggests that my membership in the Black club is being canceled, I keep on stepping. I am what I am. And no one can take that away from me.
I think the major flaw I see with this article, or more appropriately the author, is the underlying message she presents, which I believe is "i'm black and no one can take that away from me". Mind you this is my personal opinion, however, her article/essay wreaks of the strident proclamation "i'm still black".
My experience has been, along with many other friends that happen to be multiracial, a love, hate relationship within the "black" community. Not "black" enough to be seriously considered "black" and then the contradictory; "Don't you dare label yourself as anything but black". These mixed signals, unfortunately, have permeated the mixed race/multiracial communities for a long time. My exposure to "blacks" came via undergraduate college and fortunately I was able to see the very ridiculous concepts of "light skinned black" and "colorism", which were deeply rooted in my college's black community, and avoided them/it. However, many mixed whites and multi's don't ever get to that point of departure as many are still "stuck" in the monoracial "black" mind-set of ODR. This brings us to what A.D. Powell has been advocating, as well as others, for a long time; Eliminate the foolishness of the "light-skinned black" and maybe, just maybe, both "blacks" and multiracial people can start to realistically deal with racial issues.

Well said Wortman_J. It's good to see that some of us are finding our way out of this ball of confusion.
Thank you Mixedmom. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet you. Additionally, to what I was posting, I should have stated, or referrenced A.D. Powell, it also becomes a problem when mixed race people date or develop friendships collectively. Of course, this isn't always the case, but it certainly happens quite often.
Why multiracial whiteness? Rejecting a false black identity based on hypodescent and the presumption that your white and other nonblack ancestry are too good for you is the beginning of self-esteem.
In the following article, Jones takes it for granted that she must beg blacks for acceptance and denigrate her white ancestry to achieve this. You know the self-righteous denunciations that would follow (a la "The Human Stain" and "Imitation of Life") if Jones were to accept a more appropriate white identity. Most whites are also more accepting of multiracial whiteness than blacks are of multiracial "blackness."
Who would fall under this catagory? is this only for people who look white but are multiracial? Is it for all multiracial people who look white?
I don't think she has to beg them for acceptance, her acceptance came from her family. Now, it is her choice how she identifies, some people have a more stimatized view of their white ancestry other don't. But this is her journey. Have you ever seen a picture of her? How do you know she looks white, I don't think that was implicated in the article. Taking on a white identity wouldn't make sense for her.
Is that the purpose? to be accepted by whites? Is that truly a correct statement the blacks aren't accepting of multiracial blackness? Should it be about full self awareness of lineage, family and self in society? Why is it that her dark skinned friend has the key to her 'blackness'? Is the dark skinned friend mixed as well?
What is truly the end of all this? to continue the race card game? It is my hope to move away from race labels all together, no created different catagories under the ones already in place. Do we construct labels like some latin american societies did? (example: she has fine features and nice ivory skin and green eyes but that hair is like a brillo pad-she is asigned a certain catogory, this other person is dark with fine features yet with wavy hair and they are rich....)
These questions are directed at you AD, just questions that came up reading the post.

I think that is her underlying point. that she identifies as black and no one can take that away from her. Why can't she be the one to say who exemplifies 'blackness' by there actions? I'm mean if the 'black' identity which came out of the 70's by mixed and non mixed people of African ancestry (political ideas) then which one can say who is black?
That last point you made is a key Wortman, but eliminating that 'which is just street wording anyway' is not going to make a difference. Why? Because there are people light skinned and dark skinned that have moved beyond issues to deal with the reality of what may be going on. Then there are people where their really haven't been racial issues concerning complexions and what not.
There is one fact that I have learned since communicating on ODR: that is that despite the numberous discussions everyone's had here about the invisible color line and the supposed ODR and the "Soul Patrol" no one (even veteran members) are able to give a clear definition of what's "Black" what's "Mixed" and what's "White". That question is clearly AVOIDED!
80% of the posts are about memebers EXAGERATED experiences!
I've heard people on this board state that "Blacks" can not be light skin. And yet most other educated sources I've heard stated "Black" meant racially anyone (light, brown or dark in complextion) who was primarily of African descent........
The contraditions go on still:
How are there Mixed Whites without "pure" Whites? This statement alone emphasis the White purity of White Americans far more than a light skinned man saying he's Black or African American does
I will add that if calling yourself "White" gives much needed self esteem than there's an internal problem to begin with! I have personally never been anywhere and seen everyone of any "race" get along! If this is what one is expecting if they call themselves "White" (that they'll magically have friendship with all Whites) then they are sadly mistaken
An adult should have better sense than this.

Posted: Thu 07 Jul 2005 16:30 Post subject: Multiracial whiteness
Fair skin, eyes and hair. The woman sounds white to me.
The issue here is this: The person who identifies as "white" is told by the ODR folks that he/she should run "home" to the blacks with tail tucked between his legs if even one "white" says a mean thing. This is supposed to be "proof" that "whites" in general reject him. The role model held out to him is someone like the author of the above article, who is something of a battered spouse to her alleged black "race." The more the blacks abuse her, the more she is supposed to pledge her loyalty and accept the abuse.

But aren't you reading a lot into the victim status of the "light skinned Black"?
She obviously got her loyalty and/or identity from love-her family? Now I'm not saying that she shouldn't identify as black or that she should but it's her choice and it didn't stem from abuse nor threats.
What is fair skin? I've heard the list on what people 'black white and mixed' consider fair skinned. I know people with blondish golden light brown red hair that's as kinky as a brillo pad, would that equal white? with featurs broad like some of their w. african ancestors. The assumption of someone being fair skinned light eyed and having fair skin doesn't mean that person looks like a white person.
my cousin who is considered fair skinned (same complexion as me) with wavy hair, was abused by a girl with skin fairer than her and green eyes. Where should she run to? abused because her skin was clearer and hair was wavy (the other girl had kinky hair) The author in the article was not abused.
I had a 'Black' identity for a period of time, my parent didn't raise me with it, For the most part race was something you talked about like the news. My mom & dad supplied us was books as youngsters on every native american tribe she could, my mom learned alot of french dishes and would say this is what they eat if France (we have recent French ancestry and given French middle names) I allowed my Blackness to stand out more for a time, because I needed to. As mixed as I was I was just as 'Black' and no non mixed person could tell me I wasn't. Because when it came down to it, most of the time they didn't even know what that meant to be Black. To their shame in front of others. It was a part of my journey, I'm at a place at 33 that it's all good for me, I've never been a victim or been abused by whites or blacks. I'm an American, I love my pan-African connection and I embrace my multiheritage. Everyone needs to be allowed to navigate their journey, jumping from one identity to another won't solve it.
The contraditions go on still:
How are there Mixed Whites without "pure" Whites? Doesn't this statement alone emphasis the White purity of White Americans???
Actually something that I thought about was the understand that terms like 'Ethnic Whites' is equivalent to saying people who could be White but don't reflect the real Whites (W.A.S.P.)
here is a quote from someone I was having a discussion with: The blond haired blue eyed midwestern type is still seen as the typical american, since they are generally past being third generation, which is usually the determiner for that status. The concept of an "american" is generally one who has no other language than english nor has relatives that speak another language, nor does anyone in the family recall a grandparent that "came over". Many may not like that definition but it has been the traditional one since the perception is that that person has no cultural ties or baggage from any other culture and has had a purely american upbringing.
That is part of the reason why New Yorkers are given some degree of suspicion in the south and mid-west. Besides being Yankees, the idea is that a majority of them are the children of immigrants or not culturally assimilated, and therefore differant or not sharing "traditional" american values or ethics.
despite the numberous discussions everyone's had here ... no one (even veteran members) are able to give a clear definition of what's "Black" what's "Mixed" and what's "White".
I think that part of the confusion is because such terms are changing. Many years ago, they were applied to people involuntarily based on appearance. But nowadays, they are often self-applied voluntarily and do not reflect appearance (European-looking "Blacks," African-looking "Hispanics," or "Muslims," etc.). And so the reason that one cannot define who is what is because each individual chooses his own identity.
This is not really new in history. Benjamin Franklin used to fret over who was "really German," who was "really White," and who was merely "German trying to pass as White." In the mid-19th century similar debates centered on the Irish.

Speaking of Ben, I came across a book about him that indicated that he was an indentured servant?

Since the above is an opinion, let me give mine thusly:
If calling yourself “black” and having a completely “white” phenotype makes a person feel more “welcome” into the “black fold, where they will be hated and cherished, it could also appear the person(s) believes they are a “superior” and “exotic” form of “black”. Also, for those that have grown up, having a “white” phenotype, but were told they were black and state they feel “closer” or more “comfortable” labeling themselves as “black”, the perpetuation of “mulatto” or “white” multigenerational “elitism” could also be attributed to this ideology. However, I’m in agreement with one thing, albeit the opposite side,

Yes, an adult labeling themselves for the purpose of being categorized in a type of hierarchal, internal racial “caste” system should definitely have more sense than that.

I’m sorry Gemini072 and others, I often times don’t preface my commentary by stating what you’ve said above. I wholeheartedly agree that self-identification should be left to the individual. Furthermore, it is very easy to see how some people with mixed racial heritage struggle in finding an identity that truly reflects internally, as well as externally, themselves as a whole.
Speaking of Ben, I came across a book about him that indicated that he was an indentured servant?
Yes. As I recall, at age 12 Ben signed a 9-year indenture to his elder brother James in order to learn the printer's trade. Four year later, James was jailed for opposing the colonial Massachusets government in his newspaper, and was forbidden to publish. So, with his brother's agreement, Franklin took over and published the newspaper on his own. When James got out of jail, he expected Ben to resume his indenture. But Ben had had enough of indenture and walked, eventually finding a job as printer in an established Philadelphia business.
To me, I can feel the internal struggle this woman has gone through. The above quoted things could be viewed as being extreme mental cruelty in that everything she refers to in her childhood wreaks of forced association and trying to “fit” in.
Without diminishing her situation. I think it was more or less a sting of rejection from a friend than it was actually race. That's just 1 particular channel problems can surface thru. If both of the girls were mixed looking it could easily have been who looks more mixed or who has the straighter hair, jealousy because the others eyes are light or it could be who has the better body who get's more guys phone numbers.
What you said Wortman is something sadly any individual who steps out of an assumed box with have to deal with forced association and trying to fit in. I know of non mixed Black people who caught hell by mixed people for looking like tar babies, jungle bunnies, jigaboos. Non mixed Blacks who like Rock music, 'talk and dress (white) who catch it from homeboy Blacks and also the white who they seem to be culturally associated with. Whites who get called 'wiggers' because they have black friends, like RnB etc etc American isn't the only people who put you in a box though, actually sometimes I think we have more options of self expression especially concerning women.

Good point Gemini072 as I have known some people of colour catch flak because they were acting "white". e.g. listening to rock or heavy metal (METAL HEAD HERE!!!!!!!!Led Zeppelin Rules) or other things deemed as "acting white".

Interestingly, a lot of the hip hop homeboys of today, don't realize the impact that Rock music had on Rap in it's earlier days. It was Run DMC who help revive Aerosmith http://www.aerosmith.com/detect2.html
Run DMC cover Walk This Way and that was an intro to a lot of non rock fans to Aerosmith and a degree of Rock outside of PRINCE. A lot of Rap music in the 80's had a prominent element of Rock music. Run DMC and a lot of other Rap artists were also Rock fans.
I love a lot of the percussion in Heavy Metal, a lot of tight beats for some of the speed of the music.

Again, your assesment relies on what outsiders (perfect strangers might I add) "eyeball" you as! This is completly irrevelvant to what you see yourself as as well as your families' ethnic background! Isn't part of the Multiracial movement about FREEDOM of choice???? Why are you advocating strangers being about to racially identify each person as they see fit and taking the personal choice (whether it be "Black" "White" or "Mixed") from that individual??? J, you're running about in circles my good man.........
(Read the first paragraphy very carefully. Notice it doesn't mention having light skin as a disqualifer! FYI: A person 60% African 40% European is PREDOMINANTLY African! I'm guessing you believe that person would look Sudanese [/b]
I will provide proof! Just as soon as you provide PUBLISHED EVIDENCE, REFERENCES AND SOURCES proving my statement was incorrect.
Sorry. It does not work that way. See Posting Rules paragraph B.3. The person who makes the original claim is expected to substantiate it. If cannot back up a claim, do not make it. Please consider yourself officially warned.
