If biracials can be black, can blacks be biracial??

I did a post on indirect mixing and direct mixing. I was looking at a blog at Wordpress, called Abagond.

The problem with this blog is that many of its readers seem to be misinformed when it comes to biracial people. The author seems to get the realities of racism spot on, but whenever he does a blog about biracial people, for the most part, he is off, and his readers are even more uneducated about the topic.

Many things, especially the black readers, will say about biracials, is that they "miscegenation has always been around, we are all mixed".

This line is usually used either to discredit the existence of biracials or to somehow make a black person feel better or more special about being black.

This line though is highly inaccurate. What does mixing from 100 years ago have to do with today? If both of your parents are visibly black, then how does that relate to having one parent being white?

Biracials who are strictly raised by their white side only (with no black influence from family), often feel less black, simply because they were deprived of their black culture.

Some ask, if a biracial person can be black, then couldn't a black person be biracial?

No. The answer is no. Biracial people are treated like black people in society, as of right now, mulatto is not an official race. As of right now, biracial is merely a title. But when you are the product of an interracial relationship, you have the choice to self identify with one of your races.

But when you are the product of a mono-racial relationship, you are not able to self identify because you are not directly of multiple races to do so.

I get insulted when I hear black people act as if being biracial is the same thing as being black. Biracials do have a black experience, as they are considered black in society...but being biracial also has an experience of its own.

As I mentioned about having only white members of the family in one's life...that will bring about a different outlook than someone who has either both their parents, or only their black side or being born black in general.

In the end, when I hear people act as if black is the same as biracial, I can't help but wonder...are they this ashamed of being black, that pretending they are biracial will make them happier? Or are they this hateful and fearful of biracials one day having a race of their own, that they will do or say anything to prevent that?
