Whats the best way to embrace being biracial?

In a society where your title and your race are considered two different things, where people only care for your race, and not your title, you are often left feeling confused or lost about what to do.

At some point, some biracial people finally get to a point in their life where they want to embrace their title. But the question remains, how?

Some people do blogs, vlogs, start clubs, forums, etc, to unite people alike. For them embracing who they are is by bringing people like them, together.

For others, they prefer to get much more personal than just a blog or vlog or forum. For some they write stories, do poetry. It could be about the life of a biracial person, with a biracial lead. It could be their life story, from the trials to tribulations.

How does one express and embrace being biracial? There is no one way. Some just are, others want to show it and let the world know.

Most say, if you are unwilling to shout something out to the world, then you are ashamed. But I don't think its true. Sometimes, going out of your way to let others know, makes you look like you are unsure, and that you are convincing yourself. To me, one doesn't have to be loud and proud....one just has to know for themselves, and thats what is important.

Some people treat the whole biracial issue the same way they treat Christianity. They must spread the word, and anyone with a slightly different concept of it, is a horrible person that should be banished. I hear too much of Christians of one denomination "damning" those of another denomination to Hell. And biracials do the same, such as how Obama was treated for self identification.

There are so many ways to embrace being biracial, but one should make sure its their own thing, and not forced and that they don't force it on others.

One can start out trying to embrace being biracial through poetry, and they may end up finding themselves embracing being biracial, simply by just being themselves. There is no one way or best way to do it in the end.
