If a person does not accept his true identiy,race, real religion,culture and has very little knowledge of his/her true history,would you trust that he/she really love and accept you. When ever you have children, do you believe you will have a stable family and the kids will not have an identity crisis.

I would ask myself first, is my religion real, or is it a manifestation of mans words, is it spiritual or is it religion there are many religions, because sometimes we get misinformed info from others and then i would look into the word of God and See's what it has to say about the subject because my word of God the bible Say's do not be unequally yoke! so whom am I to question because there is my answer I can accept or i can fight out and be caught in the consequences of my action for me self acceptance has to come first it is not what they believe it is what you believe our beliefs system is what makes us or break us!

I believe that accepting who you are is very important. Although, yes, I think people you don't accept themselves can love and respect someone else, I do think that there will eventually be issues that come up and must be dealt with. If parents raise their kids with love and respect for themselves and others, then I don't think they will have an identity crisis. I believe that you have to reinforce in your kids that they are unique and special..and it doesn't matter what race, or religion they are. Some parents are able to still do this, even if their own self-esteem isn't the greatest.

Listen, Dr. Phyllis, your pychobabble is becoming increasingly annoying.
And what's this about real religion. So are you saying that any black person who doesn't practice voodoo has an identity crisis? Identity, furthermore is comprised of culture - not just heritage, but popular culture, music, art, etc., as well as individual morals, and lastly genetics and race. Don't even pretend you're smart enough to decipher all these. *rolls eyes*
Stop pretending to be smarter than you are.

Wow! I don't know what is causing you to ask this question, but I have met many bi-racial couples who are wonderful parents. I've also met people who have adapted to other cultures other than what is their mainstream racial viewpoint. I think it is very possible to live a life of integrity and raise healthy families without accepting their own true race.
EDIT: I agree with Ryan's response that this could apply to any race.

Do you have an identity crisis? I certainly do not!! I don't know any blacks who don't "love themselves". I don't know where you're from, but in my culture, we are taught to love ourselves and the color of our skin. Of course we have little knowledge of our individual history. WE WERE SLAVES remember?? Our identity and culture was stolen from us. All we have to go on is in a history or geneology book. That doesn't help much!!

I trust anyone to love me. But I'm hard to love for most of the men on this planet think of me as a buddy-buddy rather then something more. So I find it really hard to trust any man no matter what color he is to love me. I've been hurt to many times so I'm never sure of what love really is.

Your concept of True race, religion , culture etc. is only your concept. Suprisingly, others have different views. Some are like yours and some are not.
Just shooting from the hip here. Maybe "Acting white" is not "acting white"; but an attempt to improve their lives?

Here is another question that makes me angry. Why are people labeling other people? On this Earth there are several creeds and races. People have no control over the color of the skin they were born with. We have to learn to accept others regardless of their skin color.
Please stop this kind of questioning.

what defines a person will always be what they choose it to be, colour has never and will never be a part of that, identity has always been a tricky thing because so many allow other people to decide for them who they are

not really. If he does not love himself you can trust that.
As for kids. at rare times it is hit and miss. My daughter who is 15 is a christian, but I am not. i hope she has a strong sense of self. She is funny and smart.
