This is my 3rd all-time fave band and all-time favorite album.

Interracial Relationships

Regardless of what year it is some people are still bothered by interracial relationships. I happen to be a product of one. My mother is Mexican-American and my dad is African-American. I'm from a teeny tiny town in south Texas.  

Growing up around here during the 80's wasn't easy. I was either never good enough for the hispanics and never good enough for the blacks. I didn't really realize I was different until about 4th grade when someone called me a nigger. In all honesty I had no idea what that was.  My parents split up after my sister was born and she and I were raised by our mom who is Hispanic. I was raised a Hispanic child I didn't no any different ( I just figured I was just a dark mexicn lol). 

Being bi-racial at times can be very hard especially when you're a kid. Its even worse when ignorant adults follow you around stores (it happened more times than I'd like to admit). In my opinion I think we have it worse because we get discriminated against by our own races and society. But the one thing that bothers me the most is all these people nowadays who think all bi-racial kids are cute and they must have one. We aren't an accessory! We have feelings! And I'm sure you won't be looking forward to wiping your child's tears when he/she comes home crying because they were being bullied because of the skin color. Even though its 2013 racism and close mindedness still exists. Think before you go out and try to make your designer baby!
