    Halito! I have several white friends that say I am "too white" to be Choctaw, even though I like my coppery-bronze skin. But I'm mixed (my dad is half white, and has gray eyes, and so do I). I was ostracized when I was growing up because of my caucasian looks, and embarrassed. When I left Oklahoma when I was 9 and moved to Texas, I was made fun of for not being white. I was shocked, to think that I wasn't brown enough to fit in one place and then too brown to fit in another. Now I just am me, a 3/4 Choctaw me, and that's the way it is. I'm not going to try to be anything else, and I'm a firm believer that the first humans were all a lot darker skinned than most white people would like to think.

    Hi Anoli. I am also Choctaw and black. My great grandmother was full blooded. I have been able to trace some of my ancestry to Mexico. I'm seeking to go back even further. I know that there are many black people in South America. I will be investigating my father's side.
