Hey mama, hey mama, it's a black thing.

She won't understand because she ain't black.

She's a white.

She only knows a white thing, the white thing.

You guys remember this tape, right?

It's from episode 59.

The kid wrapping here is Curia Traber, age six.

Curia's mom is white.

Her dad is black.

And Curia made up this song for her mom to tell her how she'll never get what it means

to be black.

Curia and her mom were close, but being different races added a layer of complexity to their relationship.

And I said mama, you don't know it now.

So you won't know whatever.

Because mama, it's a black thing.

Curia is 32 now.

She identifies as a black woman with mixed heritage.

And she's not wrapping about race anymore, but she still thinks about race a lot, especially

when it comes to the possibility of having kids.

I've always known I wanted to be a parent, since I was little.

I was one of those little girls that had baby dolls and was like, I'm in half, ten babies.

And I was just really into babies.
