I am Charles Mingus. Half-black man. Yellow man. Half-yellow. Not even yellow, nor white enough to pass for nothing but black and not too light enough to be called white.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a suspicious mulatto, which means I'm too black to be white and too white to be doing it right.
We're all Africans, everyone - black, white, yellow.
All of us are so mixed. My great-grandfather was white.
My grandfather was coloured, my father was Negro, and I am Black.
Sure, I look like a white man. But my heart is as black as anyone's here.
I am definitely a person of color.
I come from a mixed background - my mom's black, my dad's white - and I traveled around the world.
I'm really white trash.
When you say that you are a race man, it means that you embrace the entire black community regardless of the hue, whether somebody is very light and could pass for possibly white or someone is very dark.
I'm a half-breed. You know, I'm Puerto Rican and Norwegian from descent, and I grew up, born and raised in New York City, and I stood out amongst my friends in my community. I was very blond-haired, white, and 'Lemonhead' was the name that they gave me.
