I am 1/8 White 💪🏾

[@latejanaurbana1589]

We are all 1/8 something.

Did you mean you're ⅛ black?? I'm probably ⅛ white, my 2nd great grandmother on my mother's side is a white woman, her daughter my great grandmother is ½ white because her father was a black man. Her family never accepted her, they hid her away until she was old enough to be sent to boarding school. She was raised by catholic nuns in a boarding school, when she became an adult she was given money to start her life and sent on her own way. Her family sent her away after educating her in a Catholic boarding school and she herself married black. I don't know anything about that part of my family. I do know that back in the 90s some family property was sold by that part of my family and they sent the proceeds of that sale which should've fallen to my great grandmother and grandmother to my aunts as my great grandmother had passed on already. That part of our family knows we exist but they don't acknowledge us at all...
