The reasons to get the test by the current contestants is very lame and they are taking the test for granted~ I HAVE several reasons that I NEED the complimentary test! My twin sister and I were taken from our mother when we were 6 but before then we knew she was a prostitute,on drugs (herione) when she had us. She point blank does not know who our father is. Because of this my identical twin would like nothing more to do with her. She is , I fear gone from our lives forever leaving us empty on our heritage. While I know we have african in us, because of our skin, I get asked ALL of the time,what I am mixed with? Our natural hair is redish! We have a pointy nose. I had a daughter when I was 19 and chose to give her up for adoption, I honestly admit that I did not really know her father, I was young. He had green eyes and redish hair but was obviously black, but mixed with something...I chose her family and recently, thanks to Facebook she found me. She has soooo many questions I can not even answer about myself,let alone for her. I even have no record of color on my birth certificate and when I went to get my Minority Business Certification, I was told that even though I am a person of color, they do not know what color and I may not be able to get the certification again! (MMBDC) I am always asked if I am Hawaiian, Dominician and mostly Brailzian from those from that area. I have such a strong magnetic feeling like I am at home or among family when I am around Hispanics. I even serve on the board of the West Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce!..Spanish was the language we adopted in our home until 2 years ago. When I had my son I was asked by the nurses when I went to go get him, If he was mine, he looked absolutely WHITE as pure snow. If it were not for his enlarged nose, I may have been charged with kidnapping. His eyes were a beautiful light grey that turned a light brown. He yet has lighter skin, he ask me all the time if he is white or Hispanic and he is only 7...because I am so culturally diverse in my thought process and friend/family surrounding, I would like to be able to pinpoint something...I feel so lost and tossed many days- on the other hand I enjoy connecting with everyone because we are all so interconnected. Can you imagine the great foods I can enjoy!I celebrate every nationality. I even recieved Corp Magazines Diversity Business Leader of the year- I call my self and teach my children to say we are simply blended, persons of color. I have been accused for not liking blacks. I do not like the sterotypes some play, but I love people and culture, I know I am black too, but I just would like to know who I am! So I can teach my sons, tell my daugther and fill in the gaps as well as to be proud too! I would really like to enter the contest!
