Within my own multiracial family, I've had to endure many stereotypes.<br />My new pet peeve: being invisible. So many times, when I'm out with my white friends, I will go unnoticed. It's something that I've talked about with other black women, its a common feeling. Yikes... Or people will question my judaism. Or deny it. It makes my blood boil. Anyway, I've just discovered your blog. I like it. Take care.Miss Ahttp://ragdollinnewyork.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290378763228827913.post-53032565122074315002011-05-23T17:57:46.609-04:002011-05-23T17:57:46.609-04:00Love your post.
