You're the one who was making ignorant claims about how racism was ancient history in this country. |
| Anyway. Just wear your American eagle outfit in all its glory. Sounds like the perfect fit for you. |
The claim I'm making is that white people are the same as everyone else and should feel proud of their family and heritage. |
Europeans are not descended from American slave owners? It that what you said there? Weird. And I'm not sure why kind of impugning meaning you are placing with the reference to Black Americans carrying the genes of slaveowners (or hired slavemasters, or just the good ol boy finding a Black woman unprotected). You're also ignoring the residue of slavery which most certainly has survived through the 1960s and remains visible today, if you know where to look. |
Ok. Go protest outside of St Patrick's Day parades about how everyone should be ashamed. |
Agree. Not interested in ad campaigns that talk about certain genetics as being good. I can be proud of family without that. But you like it. Oh well. |
Yes, what I am saying is that there is a continent called Europe. It's full of white people. They are not and were never American, much less American slaver holders. Seriously, go check out a map. There's a guy called Rick Steves that has a whole show about it. |
Lol. I'm marching in the parade along with my red-headed kids. I'm not telling them they have good genes because they have auburn hair and blue eyes. |
What exactly do you mean by "proud"? Slippery concept, that. For instance, many people with Scandinavian roots find they have some Irish--meaning the captured Irish women who were taken to the nordic countries by the Vikings. |
Who pays any attention to sororities? |
I'm saying no one should feel bad for how they look. People should be able to learn about their history and take some kind of personal pride in themselves, their families, and the countries they come from. This is true for everyone, and everyone includes white people. |
So it's okay for you and your kids but not other types of Europeans. Got it. |
I don't agree with putting value judgments on genetics. That can turn very ugly very quickly and it does. I'm not proud or not proud of my family because of their eye color. |
Then apply that standard to every race. |
I think you're ignorant to suggest that racism is not still very present in this country. I don't like the way the American eagle ad campaign talks about genetics. And I'm entitled to my opinion. You do you. |
