Re: What You White Folks Don Written by jlandrith, on 13-01-2005 08:18 Actually the other reader in the other thread made a blanket accusation towards the entire forum. Back to the topic at hand, I happen to know Susanne. She doesn't want ANYONE determining her self-identity for her. Period. Any hostility on her part is directed at those who keep the "one-drop" rule in play for political and financial gain. Having been involved in the process on the federal level, I know exactly which organizations are currently involved in continuing this racist policy.    For the record, being adamant in one's right to self-identify is not the same as being hostile towards those who identify differently. That same argument is incorrectly used by those opposed to "multiracial" self-identification on a routine basis. Why is it that embracing all of one's identity is always perceived as hostility or "running from your blackness" or "selling out" or a hundred other offensive slights by some of those individuals who choose to identify differently or feel that they need to embrace racist notions from centuries past? Why not allow everyone to be who they want to be without the guilt trips and false assertions?    Edited 1/13/2005 3:57 pm ET by jlandrith (JLANDRITHJR)
