They were black and Indian Mixed. When I was a child I was placed at the back of the class room because my skin was a little to dark. I was not a Chocolate brown, Just tan. I was even beaten because of my skin. My sister was a light skinned derty blonde. She was treated like a princes. It never bothered me that she and I were treated so differant.I figured it was something I must have done to be hated by the teachers so much. I recall they wanted to place me in a all colored school, and my mother refused to let me go there.
