"Biracial",
"Heterogeneous",
"Half-breed",
"Multi-cultural",
"Creole",
"Mulatto",
"Mongrel",
"Hybrid",
"Inter-racial",
"None Of The Above"
"Other"

I’ve been told:
"You’re Too-Light",
"You’re Not Light Enough",
"You’re Too-Dark",
"You’re Not Dark Enough",
"You’re Too-White",
"You’re Not White Enough",
"You’re Too-Black",
"You’re Not Black Enough",
"You Have An Identity Crisis",
"You’re Not One Of Us, You’re One Of Them",
"You’re Not One Of Them, You’re One Of Us",
"You Don’t Know Who You Are",
"You’re Not White, You Must Be Black",
"You’re Not Black, You Must Be White",
"You’re Not Really White",
"You’re Not Really Black",
"You’re Both Black And White",
"You’re Neither Black Or White"
"You’re Nothing Really".

I’ve been:
Accepted By Black And By White,
Rejected By White And By Black,
Integrated With Black And With White,
Alienated From White And From Black,
Praised And Complemented By Black And By White,
Insulted And Offended By White And By Black,
Loved By Black And By White,
Hated By White And By Black,
Paid Attention By Black And By White,
Ignored By White And By Black,
Pleased By Black And By White,
Angered By White And BY Black,
Enlightened By Black And By White,
Frustrated By White And By Black,
Fascinated By Black And By White,
Bored By White And By Black,
Helped By White And By Black,
Hindered By Black And By White,

I’ve:
Lived With White And With Black,
Lived Apart From Black And From White,
Agreed With White And With Black,
Argued With Black And With White,
Laughed With White And With Black,
Cryed With Black And With White,
Wanted To Assimilate With White And With Black,
Wanted To Segregate From Black And From White,
Never Seen Anyone Who’s The Colour Of Coal,
Never Seen Anyone Who’s The Colour Of Snow.
