I'm mixed and I think it's great to see more and more mixed kids with all sorts of combinations. With that said there is some complications that will occur. My ex was native and we talked about kids, names how we raise them so on. With that said we would differ. Now I think a challenge would be a white dad with black kids. Right away let me say as a black man I have not one problem seeing a white dude with a black chick I think its cool and I give that dude a lot respect, but if you think about it that's kind of got to be a tough parent job when your son gets older and talking shit about social injustice, police brutality and talking shit about white people and your dad is vanilla. Or if your joking with your son or playing one on and some shit is being talked and your son drops that n-word and says yeah nigga. How does the white dad respond? He can't say it (or I don't think he should) and if you tell your son not to use that word, is the son wrong for being mad you took a word freely used in black culture from him? Is that a point from his black card?
My dad is Mexican as fuck, i mean tejano listening, Spanish speaking, his parents were immigrants. Now as I said I'm part black, I'm use to older black dudes saying come here little nigga or being around dudes at the park at the park playing ball and nigga gets dropped freely. Hip-hop and rap use nigga like it was the word the. I remember playing my dad one on one and him talking shit like he does and I was older and learned the shit talking game well so I was beating him and I said to my dad yeah nigga you going take this L. The shock and pause on my dads face ....priceless! He didn't know what to say he just half smiled at me. he went on to say man don't use that word you don't want people to devalue who you are. I looked at him like this nigga really just tell me not to say nigga! Your telling me your black son not to say nigga! shit. He later said he understood it was used in the culture and I had family and friends saying it to me and he got it. While me and my dad talked I asked him dad why didn't you ever say it. He paused and said cause I don't see my black sons I just see two young men, I never saw a black wife just my queen. Wises shit I ever heard my pops say to me.
