Ungrateful black-white girl

Nia writes about identifying as a mixed person of color in the queer community, and addresses issues of racism, colorism, "passing," queer identity, and being biracial. She struggles with her ability to "pass" as white and not being read as black by African-Americans, as well as the attitudes of her white friends. Nia also examines the power dynamic inherent in anti-racist white analysis, and repudiates the popular racism = prejudice + power definition. She gives advice to white folks and proposes a board game about white liberals. Nia blogs at http://ab-wg.blogspot.com.
