MIxed and sincere

I read a post that a friend of mine, who is part Native write about being treated shitty by both sides of his family. I know a woman who is half Guatemalan half White who wrote a heartbreaking post about how people in the Latino community ignore her or even worse have the damned audacity to treat her like an outsider and leave her ignored or alone often. She has since stopped going to gatherings for Latin people. She told me, and I believe her, that our sisters and brothers treat Whites better. Of course they do. One of the reasons is Whites have money and cash rules.
I would like those who are of mixed ancestry that I see you. I can see you trying to learn our culture even though you didn't get raised in it. It must seem so foreign and yet you continue. I know you were not raised among us but you have a real passion to work for us to find a place in our community and you feel a responsibility towards us even though we, some of us, treat you like crap.
I know the frustration of having Native features, facial structure, jaw structure even body type and sometimes dark skin but you don't have a pedigree card and that pushes you away. Having White skin but knowing our culture but being ignored by those of us with brown skin because you have White skin or even worse Black skin!
I know you have no connection to your ancestral lands but you have the knowledge and the freedom, fought for so much, to pray like you live right there. You might be helpless to survive in the wilderness but you have a job, a house and a family you take are of the warrior class. I see you out and about. I see you at gatherings sitting and watching the dancers and listening to the drums. Feeling the same thing I feel. I see you and I notice how you try to be respectful.
Creator will pay you for your patience and your ability to put up with the bullshit of others. Remember this, Not every brother is a brother. It was Black men that murdered Maclom X and it was Native men who killed Ana Mae Aquash.
You're noticed.
