This conversation took place while me and my son were watching “The Scorpion King.” My son has a very light complexion with hazel eyes and blonde hair. We are the same complexion and his father is dark complected.
Child: Mommy, is “The Rock” African American?
Adult: Yes.
Child: Really?! (in pure disbelief)
Adult: Yes.
Child: Am I African American?
Adult: Yes, baby, you’re African American.
Child: Are you African American?
Adult: Yes.
Child: Is Grandma African American?
Adult: Yes.
Child: Is Daddy African American?
Adult: Yes.
Child: He’s REAL REAL African American!
