12. What's wild, as Officer Broughton makes clear, EVERYBODY in my small town knew I wasn't white. My race was WIDELY KNOWN. In 1995.pic.twitter.com/DIqRYYtCNy

The fact that people care so much speaks volumes about them-not you. You look bi-racial to me, but the person you are is far more important.

But you keep saying you are black and saying definitely aren't white. That's not exactly true either. You are both. Why not claim both?

Overall, why is it such a big deal? Many have parents of two races. But it seems to be very important to you, why not just take the test?

Doesn't make sense since your mother didn't enlighten you to your "father's" supposed race until you were older? Keep your stories straight.

Why are people debating your blackness because of your being light skin. My granddaughters have problems with the samething. Crazy
