I am half white and half black and I was wondering how people like myself would be treated. Growing up all I learned in school was how blacks were were treated.

Were people of mixed race, black and white, treated the same? Or worse because they were black but had white in them?

Could you be more specific? Do you have a time period and place in mind?

I recommend reading Life On the Color Line by Gregory Howard Williams. It's a true story about a boy who was raised white until his mother died. He and his father moved back to Indiana to be with family- his fathers family was black, though he didn't know it before. This all occurs in the 1950s and does well to discuss how a person of mixed race deals with both sides.
