You are not alone! I think many of us who forced to “pass” are going through the same struggles. All we can do is support our dark skinned brothers and sisters, accept that we do have privilege all the while almost “allowing” ourselves to embrace our non-white identities.

I’ve got to agree with this. I have posted many times about my past here - I’m biracial but was raised white, my mother did in fact “experiment” and rebelled against her father and had herself a brown baby. My parents split when I was 18 months and haven’t seen my father since (we are in contact over the phone…

Watching “Games” for the first time in like 20 years..is that video circa 1990 or F21 and UO circa 2017?!

I totally agree - I stopped watching both Walking Dead and GOT because of the violence, I keep up them both via recaps. Its been a long summer so I’ve been binge watching everything and decided to give Westworld a chance, I braced myself for a rape and assault and there it was but not at all to the level of WD/ GOT -…

I’ve been watching Snowfall and there is an actor Jonathan Avigdori on it who is a spitting image of Mercury but only on the show not in any google search photos!

I was 22 when I had my first - I’m now 40 and people spazz out when I tell them I have an 18 year old, many people in the Bay Area are only starting at 40! So have kids whenever there will always be some jackass with a comment! :D

Im in SF but won’t be visiting the store being not thin and such.

My mother did almost the same thing to me - I now my father was black but she made me hide the truth from my white siblings. I’m much lighter than the girl in the article and my hair is wavy so I pass to most people.

I agree the bus can be great to get to downtown from where I live, but if I needed to get to North Beach, Bernal Heights, ect? The bus ride can be 40 mins plus.

In Police Academy, Steve Guttenberg wears a belly tank with “bun in the oven” printed on it- of course his jean shorts had such a high rise you couldn’t actually see his belly!

“fellow uber-light-skinned biracial people unite! We exist too!”

I do think Bear is cute, but not with the last name Payne.. However I now think of Stephan Bear when I think the name “Bear” - google clips of the UK show “Celebs Go Dating”....shudder....

Fuck yeah! I’m going to be 40 in two weeks and want to go grey (I have some real grey too ) any advice? My natural hair is medium brown..

Of course I had to look up all these brands I have never heard of -Pimkie, Bershka, Zalando -very interesting to look at stuff that hasn’t and may never hit the US market!

I made it until 1:59 - kill me.

Same -hubby and I had a quick marriage ceremony at city hall along with my kid, its going to be 11 years this year and at 20 years we want to have the party we never had. I want a cake and he wants an open bar. :D

My mom was beautiful in the 70's -her downfall was the 80's. :(

This song made me as a kid want to grow up and work in an office in a big US city so I could party on Friday and all weekend.

I want to give you all the stars.

I knew a toxic woman as well who did/does this- flips shit, I’m pretty sure I hate the whole concept just because of her.
