My Family

My white woman shot herself when she found out about my colored mistress. It was a horrific experience, but I still do not regret  my choices. I do prefer colored people. Why does that matter? Why does my preferences have anything to do with my wife's death? I don't understand why the hatred for a colored person can go to such an extreme. It's unfathomable. I still care for my mullato children, but I'm slightly worried about how their future will be. I understand that society might not be willing to accept them, but I can try my best and provide them with everything that they will need.
