 Who fucking cares if they come from two different backgrounds? Or, what I should say is, “why do you care so much!?”
Maybe they didn’t get the memo that this has been going on for awhile now. Help me help you. Times HAVE changed and let’s decide together to step into the future. When I would read anything about my mother they would always refer to my father as “Roland Harrison who WAS black”! Like he isn’t any more??? I use to think that was so funny and so sad. Why would that be OK? Why do you feel like it’s important to state the fact of his color? It’s like you want people to judge. So when I saw US online magazine “What do you think about Kim Kardashian having a bi-racial baby?”, that’s just another way of saying Kanye West WAS and IS black!!! First Posted: April 2, 2013

I have noticed the same exact thing in everything I've read about your mother. *Gasp, she married "black photographer", had an interracial baby, etc etc. I understand mentioning it if they're going to talk about how times were different and it was considered shocking, etc etc. But often they just drop that in there. "Then she married black photographer Roland Harrison..." Don't even get me started on the sick, dirtbag comments some people leave. What can you say, we've come so far, and yet there's so much further to go. Leave a Reply. |
Lolita's DaughterMemoir 
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Nona’s life began as a fairytale. She was the daughter of a famous actress Sue Lyon (Lolita), and NFL player (Roland Harrison). Her father was absent for most of her childhood, and being a bi-racial child, she had questions at a very early age about why she looked so different.
By age 12, Sue remarried, and her relationship with her mother was never the same. Nona was kicked out of her house and by the age of 13 she was taken to a halfway house. That same year her mother placed her in an insane asylum where she stayed for almost 3 months. That kind of betrayal by her mother, a woman she once idolized, broke Nona’s spirit in a way which would take years to recover from.
