Even if white people have shunned her black heritage, isn't her black side kind of shunning her own white heritage? I mean, who cares who has looked down on you for being a bi-racial woman, you are half white and black, regardless of who is too racist to validate it.
The dishes are DONE, man! -

ok honey.
im white.
and i wouldnt not accept her calling herself white.
but #1
shes not white.
and #2 shes not black.
shes BI racial.
why cant she call herself that?
i wouldnt care if she called herself white.
black.
mexican.
mixed.
hell idc what she calls herself.
why do people always have somethin to say about color.
yet youre the first ones to judge white people.
not all white people are like that.
some are.
but some black people are like that too.
so dont judge me.
you dont want to be judged.
and neither do i.
now on the subject.
maybe she does it because she has the majority of black in her.
like tia and tamera
they are half white and half black but say theyre black.
i think also in hollywood when youre biracial you can work in both industries.
you can be in black shows.
and white shows.black shows as in more black people. white shows as in more white ppl
Maria Carey is biracial but she looks more white than black.
i think also people call her black more so than white.

She is a Black/African American..that is her ethnic group. It has nothing to do with biology, she and everyone else knows that not all her ancestors were African, but what does that have to do with HER ethnic group???

Where are you getting your assumptions? According to how the USA determines race, she IS black. Where are you getting this "she wants to be full-blooded black" point of view? I don't recall ever hearing she said anything like that.

It's not far back for me either, but I challenge anyone to tell me what I'm supposed to consider myself. Give me a break. I identify with my Native American, African-American, and Sicilian heritage. Technically, I have more Native American in me, but I consider myself a black woman. I will not go around saying I'm "Bi-racial" to satisfy other people.

Fit in? With who? Give me a break. There is nothing so great about any race that I would try to identify with them just to "fit in." My mother is Native-American/Sicilian, and my father is Native-American/Black. I consider myself a woman of color, and I was raised to appreciate all of my heritage. Accept it or don't, but don't put your biases and opinions out as the way things are. I do not have to say I'm bi-racial to satisfy you or anyone else. You are far too hung up on how people identify with their heritage. In my opinion, the views you have expressed make you seem a little prejudiced.

I'm not prejidice. I just think ppl should admit to who they are. And if you have that much Native Am. in you, why don't you consider yourslef Native Am.? You're obviously mixed if your black, white, and Native Am., but why do you call yourself black? I just don't get that.

Oh yeah one more thing. Montel Williams said that his mother is half black and half white. But he refers to himself as quarter racial; not blackOh yeah and lemme guess; you only date black men right?
