DO OR DIE
I'm African American and Puerto Rican. Adopted so I assume that my dad's parents are straight from PR and my mom's fam is from down south like most AA's...

My adopted fam straight southerners. Grand mom full blooded creek Indian and grand dad's a panhandle Floridian black. I was raised by brown skin people so luckily I avoided that light skin is superior mentality.

We all live in Philly, NYC, Boston, Panhandle Florida or Mobile, AL.

Detroit. That's all I know really. Got Polish roots but don't know anything about them or see any of their culture in my family currently.
