What is a Biracial Experience?

In my introductory post, I mentioned something about a "biracial experience". Already, you are probably curious as to what that means.

Well each person in life, has an experience. In America, race is a major issue. There is still alot of racism going on, and black people often must suffer because of this.

When you are biracial, you face something that neither whites or blacks can understand.

Your experience, is how you grew up knowing one parent is black, and the other is white. Even if you did not know one of your parents, you still have an experience.

Also biracial people must grapple with that question, "Am I black or biracial or am I both?"

Self identity is an experience only biracial people can have. In fact, one's experience as being mixed growing up, often reflects how one will self identify with themselves later on.

Each biracial person goes through a different experience. But it is important that all experiences be known, so other biracial people do not feel alone.
