"Black and White"

Let me just say this first, I am not a racist, stereotype or red neck, but just someone with a question....Why is it, that if a guy or gal (black and white) is of mixed ethnicity, they seem to identify more with the black culture, then the white? Now maybe this is just ( as I am a city boy) my urban point of view, as I lack the affluent experience, where maybe more mixed kids sided with the white identity, but I am miffed...I have even asked white, Puerto Rican and Black alike and it seems that one thing is common. Those who experience more of a struggle, be it primarly in their environment, side with the black culture or way of looking at things, where as those who have less of a struggle side with the white culture/way of living...Now what you just read, may sound like a stereotype in itself, but as I said before, this is coming from the mouths of White, Spanish and Black alike, as I have asked for different pints of view, albeit with the resources I had available...

Does the reader agree with this? Or do you think this is horse shit? If so, please add your insight and expound on my perception. I also believe it has alot to do with sports and music, as this is a area highly dominated by the black populous. Take me for example, I am a white hip-hop artist and because I grew up in the city and tended to struggle, like alot of minorities, I was pigeoned holed, by white America, as being a wanna be or a whigger? Now is this because white people perceive hip-hop as a black thing and not a white thing? Or is it that, they are to ignorant to know, it's a global thing? I agree with the latter. So my point is that, those people of mixed ethnicity, who grew up in a urban environment, tend to side more with the black culture, as opposed to the white way of living....

Another question, do you think if Hilliary Clinton was black and a women, that we would be talking more about the fact, that she may be the first black president, or that she is the first female president? This is a very complex question and one that I believe is directly related to our perception/environment. I still say people would concentrate more on the fact, that she was black, even though women continue to be shunned, but not nearly as bad as the black man or women....I don't know if this is ever going to change, but I would appreciate positive feedback to this post and no bullshit....Easy!!
