Hi I am a new wikipedia user - I was blocked within about 5 minutes of editing although I did not post anything offensive -.I simply added links to a few multiracial entries as follows:
Biracial''': For people who identify as/ are identified as Black who happen to be biracial.] My user name "Ruminations of a Racial Realist" corresponds to the name of my blog on race, racism and racial identity... There are actually two definitions of racial realist included in your encyclopedia - my blog correspondes to the second defintion...however, I would be happy to change my user name if this is considered inappropriate. I am having difficulties contacting the person who blocked me - could you advise me or forward this messge to someone who could help? Thanks.
