[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, i feel a yearning to return to my ancestors’ land. It’s not guilt but I definitely don’t feel great or proud about being descended from [b]colonizers[/b]. I wish my family had maintained Irish citizenship through the generations. [/quote]

Just move out of Montgomery County.  That would be a good start.  [/quote]

DP. Why are you so hostile to people expressing a very normal and understandable feeling? Are you the same person posting angrily in this thread or are there multiple?

I don't understand the hostility here. People are saying "I don't feel like I belong, I wonder if I would belong more in my ancestral home." Even if you disagree with them, which is a totally valid perspective, I don't understand why it's making people so hostile. It is a vulnerable, very human desire, to admit you feel adrift.[/quote]

See 10:46.

I'm not hostile to OP or her feelings of rootlessness - many people feel that, in the DMV and the US.  I'm suggesting that living in MoCo and feeling White guilt for being a colonizer are hurting her and are easily fixed by moving somewhere else.  [/quote]
