MY NAME IS BRANDI FAUX AND I AM 1/4 BLACK. MY MOTHER LIED TO ME FOR YEARS ABOUT WHO MY FATHER IS. MY GREAT AUNT TOLD MY GRANDMOTHER THAT SHE KNEW WHO MY FATHER WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO.SHE ALSO SAID THAT HE WAS HALF BLACK. MY GRANDMOTHER TOLD ME THE NEWS AS SOON AS SHE GOT BACK FROM HER HOUSE. MY AUNT ALSO TOLD HER TO TELL ME THAT IF I EVER WANTED TO MEET HIM SHE COULD ARRANGE IT. SINCE THEN, I HAVE BEEN SO CONFUSED. I DON'T KNOW WHETER TO BELIEVE MY AUNT. I FIGURE THE ONLY WAY I CAN FIND OUT FOR SURE IS TO TALK TO THE GUY. I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT I AM NOT JUST WHITE BUT MY FAMILY REFUSED TO ADMIT IT BECAUSE THEY ARE RACIST. BECAUSE OF MY LIGHT SKIN, I CAN PASS AS WHITE.THIS IS VERY UNFORTUANATE BECAUSE I HAVE CONSIDERED MYSELF BLACK EVER SINCE I HAD BEEN DATING MY BOYFRIEND FOR AWHILE. HE HAS OPENED MY EYES TO BLACK CULTURE. I AM SICK OF MY FAMILIES MEAN REMARKS TOWARDS HIM BECAUSE HE'S BLACK. RECENTLY I SCREAM AT THEM "I'M BLACK!" SO MY SISTER HAS STARTED CALLING ME NIGGER AS WELL. I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. HOW COULD SHE BE SO IGNORANT AND SO FILLED WITH HATE? BECAUSE OF THEIR RACIST COMMENTS, I HAVE BROKEN ALL TIES WITH MY SISTER, MY AUNT(MY MOM'S SISTER), AND ONE OF MY COUSINS. IF I WAS INDEPENDENT ENOUGH TO SURVIVE ON MY OWN, I'D SEVER TIES WITH JUST ABOUT EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY, EXCLUDING MY BROTHER AND MY AUN'TS SON- WHO WISHES HE WAS BLACK.
