Kenya said, okay Ebony your point is well taken. Anyway, one night we saw Sahara with some man, he was not related to her and he was not with CPS either. Therefore, Ebony, you are wrong to prejudge Sahara as being a person without morals and value. Ebony replied, wait a minute! I never accused Sahara of lacking morals or values. Kenya said, no, not now, but you have in the past. Sahara has felt dirty and ugly her entire life and she strips off her grave clothes, all of her fears, shame, guilt, and hurt. Well, she wanted the American Dream and she soon realized that the dream was a nightmare, Ebony replied, and we all make choices, me included. She graduated from school just like us, she chose a different route, and there is nothing…show more content… No, she is African-American, Ebony. No, she is bi-racial. I am African-American, I passed through the womb of an African-American woman and my father is an African-American. She cannot have it both ways. Well, society considers her African-American. Well, I am society and I consider her bi-racial! The very notion that a person of bi-racial origin can claim to be only one race or in this circumstance, African-American, comes from a racist premise. The premise is a form of superiority wherein one race precludes the other from the right to claim their heritage or…show more content… We keep people divided when we assert they must choose one or the other and sadly most people do not want to be associated with African origin or Black, so it’s easier to say I am Puerto Rican or Dominican, as oppose to Afro-Cuban or Afro-Dominican, etc. It is all so crazy how a few people make us decide who and what we are in life. Kenya exclaimed, ALL RIGHT! Ebony, you made your point! Well, if I have made my point than accept the fact that Sahara is as white as she is black. In fact, let us call her our Ivory Sista (laughing). Nevertheless, stop forcing me to say that she is African-American. She could also be a Tiger because after all a tiger has two stripes! Oh no, oh no, um, she is a zebra and our brown and ebony mixes are tigers! LOL! Gotta have some
