I don’t think anyone is saying she has to dismiss a parent. To identify as Black is to say, “I am Black.” Ms. Markle does not identify as such. She explicitly states she identifies as mixed race, so that’s what she is - mixed race. She’s not Black.

That’s what I just said. That’s she’s mixed and that’s how she identifies. So to identify her as black would be wrong because she identifies as mixed.
I feel some type of way about this. She says she’s mixed and that’s how she identifies. Before she shuttered her little lifestyle blog, she reiterated that she’s mixed. She’s both, that’s she feels. Now while I might feel some way about that. If she feels that’s she’s some special mixed butterfly, let her feel and be…

I agree with you on a certain level, but i’ll go even further: whether or not Malia & Sasha lke it they are role models for many people, especially Black people. Her father was/is the 1st Black president of the United States and that comes with certain responsibilities and expectations. They are not regular people in…
Nice to see Malia being defended by people in position of power. However.....she needs to have a “come to Jesus” conversation with someone in her family about these “friends” and a reminder that no matter what, even though she didn’t choose it, she is still a role model and she has brand she needs to protect.
These guys were entitled for so long. They wielded their power to abuse. They worked together. None of this is surprising, unfortunately.

I’ve never seen a non-African nigga wear a soccer jersey in public. You had them shook like something rare was nearby on pokemon go
We’ve seen dictators rise to power throughout history. The specifics change but appeals to nationalism, scapegoating others, and discrediting intellectuals is the same every time. I started getting scared February 2016. They say if you don’t know your history you’re doomed to repeat it, but if you do know your history…
I’m DEFINITELY a different person and it began a year ago today. I know my patience and understanding is completely OUT THE DOOR. Several of my white friends are no longer my friends. It took me three months...3 months to even say Hi on social media. The election last year broke my spirit. It really did. I was never…
A year later I am done with televised news.
I work in a predominantly Black school. In the year since Tweet Loaf was elected, I’ve been having more informal conversations with my students, especially the boys. I’m very careful not to sway into respectability politics, because I want them to express their true selves. I deviate from my lesson to show them how to…
The only thing that’s changed is that I view everyone and nearly everything as if it were dudes in a WalMart parking lot telling me I can swipe my card via Square to purchase his mixtape or a 50 something-year-old wearing a blue tooth and a cheap suite telling me about a “business opportunity” that I can be a part of i…
I was disappointed, for lack of a better word, when I saw the election results turn you—also for lack of a better word—cynical. I still believe in unity and I still ascribe to the politics makes strange bedfellows philosophy. Maybe because Trump’s win wasn’t a surprise to me, so it didn’t challenge my pre-existing…
Congratulations on all the wonderful things going on in your life! These days hearing any good news is a plus.
