A question for White Moms with Black Kids

[paganbaby]

Have you ever had any problems with people because your child is bi racial?

Are they adopted or biological?

And how old are they?

Reason I ask is because my mother and I have had this conversation MANY times. She's always said, be careful if you marry a black man because you kids will have it harder than most. (She married a black man and had my sister) Growing up she and my sister faced a lot of asshole racists, bullying and neg comments.

Now I too have a bi racial daughter (Adopted) and I haven't experienced anything like that. So I'm wondering, have times changed and are people more accepting? Or is it different because she's adopted and not biologically my own?

See that makes me think that it's not so much this generation but his that he's thinking of.

I didn't answer the poll, but i've pondered this question before. i have biracial cousins and my best friend is biracial, so i've discussed it with them before.

my best friend has told me that her father (black) often throughout her childhood admonished her mother (white) or my friend and her sisters to be more careful about their behavior because people were not accepting of their lifestyle (biracial family). she, however, has explicitly told me that she rarely, if ever, notices distantly different behavior from people because she is biracial or experienced said behavior with her obviously white mother.

Ethnic hair when very thick and tightly coiled can be a pain in the ass to comb. I admire anyone that can master combing this kind of hair when they are not used to it. I think that's what jewels meant by that.

All I gotta say about it is, spray bottle, moisturiser and sections!! You just can't brush it out like caucasian hair. Yeah, my poor baby and I had to learn that the hard way :-/
