I think you are missing the point here sweetie. You do not have to worry about passing IF you have black blood running through your veins. Your light-skinned daughter is half-black, there is no passing because the white people will always remind her she is not 100% white. Like the ole one drop rule, that baby is Black by society's standards, which are really just the white man's standard.
A Black child raised by ANY couple is still a Black child who will be called a nigga at some point.
Rachel doesn't have a fucking drop of Black in her...all she had was some occasional Black dick. She, as a white woman, is passing as, aka pretending to be, Black. She can take out the weave, stop tanning and using bronzer at any time and no one would EVER confuse her as Black.
Rachel does not even LOOK Black. Those fuckers in Spokane must of been fucking blind. A little color and some non-straight hair is all it took? Really? GTFO. White people will say anything that is not lily white and pale is Black or a minority simply based on sight. Thats what is really so offensive.
and if I'm being honest, as i was posting last week I re-read everything 3+ times because of the fact once i post it with my black picture, people will equate my passion on this issue as being an angry black woman. I felt as if I was in church and Emmy and Katiuska were preaching to me. I felt every thing they felt. I believe everything they said. I lived it. I get it. Hands down, for me, this has to go down as one of my all time fave KATG shows. If you did not watch live, you missed me on camera damned near catching the spirit and speaking in tongues, they were so on point and echoed my sentiments exactly
We cannot win. Period. But see what happens when you get THREE Black women in the KATG studio at once? Like a fucking unicorn and shit LOL fucking brilliant!
