Kola,

My mother's mother is very dark skinned.

My mother's lightskinned.

My father is darkskinned.

My skincolor is in between that of my mother/father's.

My mother has NEVER talked about her father.

I've asked her to tell me SOMETHING about him.

Nothing.

Asked had she ever met him.

Nothing.

Can I see a picture of him?

Nothing...

...except his name.

Honestly, I don't think she's trying to keep anything from me.

I think she just don't know or have much about him.

I've always suspected my mother's father was either WHITE or some very LIGHT Black man.

That he was married.

Or had little interest in my grandmother other than she was for a time a WILLING sex partner.

And I know this is MEAN for me to think.

But I've suspected my grandmother willingly entered into this 'engagement'.

Because she wanted to give birth to someone different from her: A 'pretty', lightskinned, straight-haired child.
