It's not coincidence.
Not mere fate we have different race's that have survived so long.
Black history month was started in part to teach little black kids that black people contributed to this country also, and we weren't just ''the slave race''. There's a black history month because in school, history books don't mention very much about blacks, except for slavery, and the civil rights movement. You can blame the one drop rule for your kids being considered black. My daughter is half white, and she's secure about herself. She's considered black in society, and anywhere else for that matter. I'm trying to make sense of your thread.

Ok i will try to explain this more as i do have children in this situation.
My kids are 50/50
In school they are the black kids.
When we are out in public besides them calling me dad there is no way you can tell there my kid's.Because i do not look like them.that part of my white genetics is gone forever.
My oldest has even asked me if i am mixed why does everyone consider me black foremost!!!
I then have to explain even if there half white and have a proud heritage i personally paid traced back over a thousand years..It will be over shadowed by your skin color and you are black in everyones eyes.
She asked me why do we have black history month where i learn about my black culture.
But there is no white history month?
Has white people never contributed to the world in a positive way? ect ect
All of my children have came to same conclusion i have they are black not 50/50 or mixed.
Society demands it..Look around and you would see i speak the truth.
and thus all mixed kids are automatically the race they are mixed with NEVER white.
She asked me why do we have black history month where i learn about my black culture. But there is no white history month? Has white people never contributed to the world in a positive way? ect ect
