Drama

I'm actually so tired of it that I'm willing to write a few people off.

Got into a really good conversation on white guilt the other day. When minorities are racist against Caucasians and Caucasians shy away and just put up with it because they feel guilty for what their alleged ancestors may or may not have done to those of minorities, it only makes them ignorant and weak.

Know your history and ancestry folks.

MY ancestors didn't do anything to anyone else's.

On my mother's side, I am Scottish and Cherokee. My Scottish ancestors were enslaved and used by the British until they finally gained their own independence. My Cherokee ancestors had their land taken from them and were persecuted and killed by *gasp* white people...

On my dad's side, we have Scottish, German, and Dakota Sioux. Once again my Native American ancestors were taken horrible advantage of. My German grandmother fled Nazi Germany and came to the United States, where she married a Scottish immigrant who lived up north.

In conclusion...NONE of MY ancestors owned anybody but themselves. The few ancestors I had in the South before the American Civil War were so dirt poor that they rarely owned a mule, much less another human being.

White folks, know your heritage.

Aside from that, there is not a single soul alive today that suffered during the oppression of slaves during the 1860's...so chill out. I wasn't there, you weren't there, no one living now was there or had anything to do with it. So chill out.

That is all.
