+1 I don't think this is something to be proud of. Your ancestors are the reasons mine were here, and also the reason why I'll NEVER know my history beyond a few generations.
I think you know that one of the reasons that people get excited about this is because they get more stories about their family with a well documented group like this and not because of any great pride.
I understand what you're saying to an extent, but then why the license plates, special clubs in which you must verify your lineage (why not just come out and say "no blacks need apply"???), and the bragging? Even so, if its simply excitement over knowing your lineage, great. Keep it to yourself, and thank your lucky stars you and yours were on the right side of history. I know very little about my family history, beyond the fact that my last name is likely the name of the family that owned us, and the light skin, "good hair", and blue eyes that run in my family are the direct result of the rape of my foremothers.
maybe your fam liked the swirl, who knows??
