    I agree with Ellen. There is a problem if we are scared to have these conversations. I am not. I love speaking about race, gender, religion , sexuality, etc. The topics are deep and interesting and it is the root of all violence. We need to celebrate differnece and unite as one people. We can decide to look at our skin colour or the fact that we are all one race - The Human Race.

      The problem isn't just in the conversations, it's in consistently stomping out ignorance, color-blindness, bigotry, negative stereotypes, and racism. Addressing anyone with respect goes a long way in addressing the issue. We all come from somewhere, why can't we all just come from a place of acceptance too? Starting to celebrate and embrace our differences will change us from white and brown to the color of acceptance and unity.

      Steve Odame yeah I can. As a brown person I’m telling you what “I don’t see colour” means to people of colour. As I said, I understand that some people genuinely think they are being kind in saying that. I’m telling you that it’s not. It’s an annoying statement. It’s okay to acknowledge that I’m a different colour than you. I understand you mean that discriminating against me based of my colour does not cross your mind. But I’m telling you we don’t like hearing it again. Because we are proud of our colour. We want it acknowledged. We just don’t want to be treated different because of it. At least that’s my view.

    I love that she isn’t afraid to speak up about race. She is a true inspiration and the people that are leaving those nasty comments about her are the reason that racism is still a problem. I am white and I’ve never personally experienced racism but I do know that it’s a huge problem and it needs to stop. The color of a persons skin does not define who they are. There are way too many stereotypes and I really do hope that one day everyone is treated equally and skin color won’t effect how someone is treated.

Somewhere along the line, someone's told him his skin is not nice, now he thinks he needs Mummys skin to be accepted. It breaks my heart. No one is better then another. Your culture and ethnicity does not make you more intelligent or superior than another person. It hurts my heart that these discussions even need to be had.

    Love her, it doesn’t get lost on her that she is privileged as a white woman and that she holds a unique responsibility as a white mother to black children. I applaud you Ellen, we need more white people like you

    This is so dramatic, here in Brazil it is super normal biracial children...I am one and I think its normal. I don't understand why people are scared about It!
