Dear Landrith,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
