She found her on Facebook.</p>

<p>
Ok, so my mom never knew who her father was (yes, insert joke here) and we found out that her dad was Jamaican.  Straight up a black dude.  What is funny about the whole thing is I am so white, I glow, no shit.  I have the Irish red cheeks and all.  It's almost unbelievable, I am going to meet with her this weekend.  </p>

<p>
Both of my dad's grandparents are from Ireland and I am an Irish, English, and US citizen.  I need to find out more, but I could be a citizen of 4 countries (not sure Jamaica's policy).  I am doubting I could even track down that family.  Not only that, my dad is engaged to a Mexican citizen, that could be 5.</p>

<p>
What does this mean?  Not a god damn f*cking thing.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/10130/i-m-black....</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 01:49:56 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/10130.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:18:28 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to I'm Black.... on Sun, 14 Feb 2010 03:32:05 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/mr.-t" aria-label="Profile: mr.-t">@<bdi>mr.-t</bdi></a> <a href="/post/156600">said</a>:</p>Dude your white!  <img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=914d980dd38" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" alt="🙂" />

Ok.  Last night I did confirm that my mom told this friend of the family that her father is 1/2 Jamaican.  Still not sure if I can apply for the United Negro college fund?  lol</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/156657</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/156657</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kosar_For_President]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 14 Feb 2010 03:32:05 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to I'm Black.... on Sat, 13 Feb 2010 07:05:11 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Dude your white!  <img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=914d980dd38" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" alt="🙂" /></p>

<p>
Nah, not a big deal.  As we know my mom has passed away and she held that info in a vault.  I guess at one point she told this friend of the family what her mother told her and kept it from us because the dude was black?  Weird because my mom would smack us if we even mentioned anything raciest.  My hero is MLK for f*ck sake.  Maybe I know why she acted like that.  You got to love white suburbs.  This all came from my dad last night.  I'll know more tonight.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/156514</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/156514</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kosar_For_President]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Feb 2010 14:03:36 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to I'm Black.... on Fri, 12 Feb 2010 13:56:16 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/diehardbrownsfan" aria-label="Profile: diehardbrownsfan">@<bdi>diehardbrownsfan</bdi></a> <a href="/post/156511">said</a>:</p>I think maybe you need to smoke LESS of the Jamaican weed dude!</blockquote>
