that i am a fat man named big earl
most men say i look mean. women i meet have told me that i scare them or intimidate them. once people get to know me they say that they were so wrong about me.
Thats the first time I've ever heard of the term tragic mulatto. Interesting.
Would you throw 'mean' in there too. Man sometimes your posts can be pretty venomous.
I am glad you see the stupidity of this one time.

The only identity I have is ME. For all intensive purposes I am black. I am not into this mixed seperatism shit and I hate the word mulatto.
The "tragic mulatto" thing is a common stereotype perpetuated both by blacks and whites. There is even a painting named so. Anyway, the myth is that we mixed people don't fit with white(but want to) and don't fit with black so we are all fucked up or something.

White people are alot more confused and have alot more issues with it

obviously we don't get along too well.

well its a classic and it would give alot of insight into the "tragic mulatto" myth. the movie made me cry like a baby. there are 2 versions one from 1934 and one from 1959. i don't know if you are into classic cinema or not but check the 59 one first then the 34 one.
anyway, alot of mixed people are indeed on that "try to pass" (an sometimes suceed) shit
seriously though you must see this classic movie, but only on a night when you are in the mood for a tearjerker because it really is.

I knew you would say that. Thats why I said check the one from 1959.
I'm sure all of us have been misunderstood at one time or another....
I'll set it off...
I look mean, unapprochable, and anti-social -
I've been told that alot of times, but like the old saying goes looks can be decieving...actually i'm the total opposite

I thought blockbuster went out of business
That doesn't sound like a misconception.
I feel ya on that one. I'm from the deep south and had never been called anything other than Black by us and the occasional, well, . . . by them until I spent two years in the State of Maine. There I learned the new word, and more imporatantly the meaning of the word, mulatto. I had to explain that though my famly is a rainbow and one shade tends to be predominant, we're all very black and all very fuking proud of it.
