    T.E.: I couldn’t help but to wonder, first of all, why do you think that you can speak for me and how I feel about myself and my heritage? And secondly, who exactly are you proclaiming to be ‘my people’? Americans? I’m certainly not out to destroy anyone, but if someone is going to claim that I am, then I want to at least know who they think I am going to do it to. ALL mothers EVERYWHERE are ‘Mothers of a nation and a people’. The status of being a mother is not limited to any one country or any one ethnicity. The key is to bring all our nations, all our children, and all our people together to make a difference. You say that we are working on race relations by ‘throwing a man and woman of different races together and having children’…well all I have to say about that is people like you are certainly not throwing anyone together to do anything. In fact, (just looking at your response) I’m sure you’re one of the first to try and tear people in love apart in a jealous rage just because they are of different races. Love is love, and I know there are people out there who will dispute that people of different races can really love each other, but they can. I am sorry that those people who say they can’t have not had the opportunity to experience a true love that crosses all boundaries. My husband is black, and I am white. I am PROUD that I will some day have his children. Diversity will continue no matter what, because everyone is their own individual. Do not group me in with all people that look like me, because I am my own unique person and am unlike any other. Diversity exists everywhere, even among people of same ethnic groups, so your argument that there will be no diversity in 100 years if interracial marriages continue to come together and have children proves nothing to any of us who are truly in love and working to make a difference in this country.
