Reply #133: What so fucked up is that I am mixed race [View All]

[Jamastiene]

although I appear white, and have played in bands with black drummers, white drummers, American Indian drummers, black bass guitarists, white bass guitarist, black singers, white singers, black guitarists, white guitarists, and a combination of black/white/mixed/AI and I never got on any high horse like jgraz has when it comes to race relations and what things mean.

I do happen to know better than he does in my own experiences though. When my black girlfriend called me "child," I KNOW for a fact that she was using it as a term of endearment and no in some racial connotation. If she meant it as some racial thing, she wouldn't have been so loving toward me moments later.

I just can't believe the nerve of some people to assume they know everything.
