Letter to the Editor Written by a friend, on 18-06-1999 15:43 Date: Tue, 18 Jun 1999 22:43:44 (EDT)  From: a friend  Subject: Letter to the Editor    Dear Landrith,    I very, very much agree with the statement you issued to Senator  Lott. I just felt like sending you an E-Mail because I am really trying to  pin down my identity right now. I often feel uncomfortable being biracial  and would like some advice on dealing with it. My mother a white American  married my father a black African immigrant and they divorced when I was  aprox. a year old. My mother literally went insane (she had had a history of  mental illness) and could no longer take care of me. Her mother (my  grandmother) began adoption proceedings when I was 14 months old and  eventually got custody of me. I haven't seen or heard from my mother in  years, my father visits once yearly and calls me on the phone. He now lives  in Arizona, is a pharmacist and has two new kids and an African wife. I have  been raised by my grandma and love her very much. At times I just hate being  biracial though. I often which I was just either white or black. I often  feel too white to be black and too black to be white. Please help me.      a friend
