Re: The Subtle Racism of Latin America

You said : "Judging from part of what has been discussed in some past threads on this forum, some of which I was involved in, I think some black people (at least even here on these forums) would seem to (indirectly) “support” that very idea of one-direction racial mixing: that it wouldn’t be as much a “sin” when the mother of a mixed-race child is black as it would be perceived as being if the roles were swapped (the other way round). I for one have always looked at racial mixing as racial mixing, irrespective of which parent is black/Afrikan or white/other in any interracial relationship, and irrespective also of if the product of any interracial mixing is male/female. Clearly, each case is individual, and it is a mistake to take for granted or assume, as some people carelessly do, that a mixed-race child having a black mother “has better chances” of retaining the African identity than when the mother were non-black. The quoted passages from the article prove exactly just how flawed that logic can be."

I think the other thread you are referring to may be the one titled "Levels of blame/guilt". No disrespect, but I have looked at the quoted passage you refer to and I do not see how it negates what I originally said. Which was about how from what I have noticed, one who was mixed, but with an African mother, would be more likely to retain links with African cultures. I also mentioned that the reason I was saying this was because the mother is the first teacher. Would you disagree with this or would you accept it as the norm? If you do, then will you also accept that a person (African or non-African) can only teach what they know? If yes again, then why would you think the logic of the original statement is flawed? Can you speak further on this?

Wisdom and Strength.
