Wake up!!! Having famous parents will be the thing that gives Heidi and Seal’s kids a chance. Hard work on their part has given my nieces and nephew who are half Hispanic and half white a chance NOT who they voted for or who the president is, as it will my grand nieces, one of whom is half black and half white and the other two who are half black, one fourth Hispanic and one fourth white.

Barack is an interesting case study, but like those weight loss commercials, he should come with the disclaimer, “Results not typical.” People have embraced this very competent black man because he does not remind them of the sordid past, or the dirty present. Racism has changed in America, not been eradicated. I certainly hope that Heidi believes her children can help to improve the lives of others not so fortunate to have a world-famous singer and a supermodel for parents.

It annoys me being biracial myself when people say Obama being president will now make me be able to say my kids can be whatever they want. When I have children I will tell my child they can do whatever they want and get whatever they want and be whatever they IF they WORK hard for it. You shouldn’t let race be an issue even if their are a few ignorant racists out there.

Both my mother and “birth father” are Black (we haven’t been able to fully trace this so I don’t know the exact region), White (German on my mothers side, not sure on my “dads”) and Native American (Cherokee on both sides).

The term “mixed” should not only apply to those who have two parents of different races, but to anyone who is indeed “mixed.” MOO

Heidi realizes as I do that even though she knows her children have all the opportunity in the world, there will always be that 1-2% of people who are going to make inappropriate comments or stares, and that’s what I meant in my earlier post. There will always be those uneducated people, and Obama being President isn’t going to get rid of that completely, but even the fact that he is President will go a long way towards acceptance. It already has.
People as beautiful, kind, and intelligent as my son already have it pretty good. Heidi’s children also have privilege. I get that. I already know the sky’s not a limit to my son, but this just makes the ride a bit smoother.

I’m black and, I don’t feel the way that Heidi does. My parents brought me up to believe I could do anything I wanted to, and I believed them; I brought my children up the same way. I didn’t need a black president to make me feel better about myself or my future. Maybe some blacks do, especially those that constantly use their race as a crutch, but that’s not the way I was brought up.

Plus, we saw how both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin were treated by the media and by most of the public, and the horrible treatment they received from the so-called “feminists.” Maybe the country is ready for a black president, but not a female president.
