Quote?When you [call biracial kids Black], you risk disrespecting that one half of who you are and that?s my fear. I don?t want my son to be in a situation where he calls himself Black and everyone thinks he has a Black mom and a Black dad, and then they see a white mother, they wonder, ?oh, what?s going on?'?


QuoteUsing President Obama as an example, Taye pointed out the fact he?s referenced as the first black president, despite the fact he?s biracial.

?As African-Americans we were so quick to say okay he?s black he?s black, and then there were the white people who were afraid to say he was biracial because who knows. Everybody refers to him as the first black president, I?m not saying it?s wrong, I?m just saying that it?s interesting. It would be great if it didn?t matter and that people could call him mixed. We?re still choosing to make that decision, and that?s when I think you get into some dangerous waters.?

The way people talk about these mixed babies and pray they can have one in the future ... It's all so weird to me. Does he have any other kids? Feels like he's one of those people that has always wanted a bright baby

Sad

In the midst of the black hunting season
He told blacks to forgive whites and 'lend a hand'
