As far as I can tell, I'm not from Africa. Perhaps some section of my DNA can make its way back through time to that location. If you're a Creationist, then we're all just committing incest anyway since we all link back to Adam and Eve. (Eve gave me the good hair, y'know. Pfffbt.) (And yeah, that Creation thing was just a joke...)

I'm not even all that in love with the word "black" either since I'm kinda brownish... and for a long, long time, I just kept marking black as my race because people were more like to see me as a black person than a white person no matter how "blended" my features. It was simple that way. But I like being two kinds, so I always mark Other or specify Biracial.

Black and white.
Like a chess pie.
Or an Oreo cookie.
