"Do I look Black or mixxed?"
I wanted to share with you what this Native American Lady shared with me. "Look in the mirror who or what do you see?". "That is what & who you are".
Because Melanin is the original "Make up" of our outer appearance, you can tell easily, usually defined by hair texture, hair color, eye color and largely skin color, who is black or who has black in them, which is a large percentage, larger than you are being told or could even image.
When someone ask,"Do I look black or mix?", usually, that is because you have some percentage of Melanin that displays in who you are.
This girl post,"Do you think I look black?" I stared thinking, why would you ask? #Prettybrowngirl shouldn't want to be anything other than that.

I am NOT my Hair | Say huh? Yes, you Are!
I was surprised wen India Arie opened up her mouth to sing:
"I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations no no".
Because you are your hair and you are your skin. I don't really know what she meant exactly or even personally but these two things you are because of these two, hair and skin, you are you and these are what defend you despite expectations. I would expect you to say these are you since these are exhibits of your Melanin.
