The difference between Directly mixed and Indirectly mixed?

Many times when a biracial person talks of their experiences as a mixed person, blacks would chime in with lines such as "you are nothing special" and "we are all mixed so nothing special about your experience".

The notion "we are all mixed" is false. Yes, if you are black in America, there is a high chance you have a little bit of white in you.

But that is what we call "indirectly" mixed. Being indirectly mixed means, that the race mixing happened generations earlier. You are still raised by America's definition, mono-racial black people.

Directly mixed, means that you, and your very existence is the product of 2 people who are of different races mixing together. You are literally directly from it. Your biological parents are not the same race, therefore that presents you with a different experience than what those who have same race parents get.

On top of that, indirectly mixed means you dont have alot of blood, at most, indirectly mixed means you are under 50% (not at or more, ONLY under) of one race (if you are black then you have under 50% of white, it depends on how far the mixing was from your lifetime).

If you are directly mixed, you are at least 50% of one race, if not more (that is if you include indirectly being mixed, which most do not).

Saying we are all mixed is just a tactic to ignore the issues that pertain to mixed people. I have stated that mixed people and blacks can relate to each other on most things, but there are some things that biracial people go through that blacks cant understand.

I do not know if its because black people fear attention will be taken away from their plight, or if its because they need biracial people to be apart of the black race (some of the most prominent and successful blacks of the past, were actually mulatto, such as Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois, and then you have people like Barack Obama, and then you have celebrities, and so much more).

Anyways, before you start saying "we are all mixed so it doesn't matter anyways", remember, its offensive to tell a biracial person that their experience isn't real.

Black people would know more than anyone that a colorblind society is making racism socially acceptable and that equality does not exist, therefore, dont do the same things to biracial people, that you don't want whites doing to you!!
