"The Black Family Of Whitestone" ... Page Three

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Below the photograph,
I explain why
I am not offended
by having my 
immediate family
referred to as
"The Black Family"

My Father's nickname
was "Blacky"
because 
—in 1931—
at the age of fifteen
he was the only 
white man
mopping the floors
of
Grand Central Station

    Rather than Black, the Oliverios look more like a mixed race family.

    I think it is safe to say that at least 50% of families
    in the United States are mixed race
    but much less than 50% will admit it

    MR is the next new acronym = Mixed Race.
    Children born of mixed races are guaranteed to be
    cuter and cuddlier.
