[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 3445401, member: 45551"] Lol ... That's typical now a days ... You think you are the first person to call me a racist because I refuse to fall in line with the victim mentality?? I have Irish heritage (indentured servants), English heritage (debtor's prison prisoners shipped over here against their will and just dumped out at port), Indian heritage (wanna talk persecution?), and black heritage (my Indian great-great-grandfather married his black slave so she could receive Indian benefits. Again, wanna talk about persecution some more?) ... I was regularly tormented as a pasty by my more Indian appearing relatives -- though we had the exact same bloodline. I was somehow "less than" because I have freckles, red hair and generally more Caucasian than Indian features. I'll NOT be a victim of my heritage no matter how bad society wants to try and convince me I should carry that burden. You wanna NOT stand on your own two feet and make your own mark on the world, good and bad, be my guest. You wanna whine and cry and stomp your feet cuz "I need reparations" from people who've never done you wrong personally just because their skin color and yours is different and you want to be victimized by your past, instead of proud of how far we've come and realize that the human condition is tied to so much more than just your outward appearances be my guest. Just don't expect me to buy into your ********. And yes, I realize (I think) that you were just speaking generally and not just to me specifically. My post is in the same vein. Not attacking you, specifically. Just how I feel generally about the whole "lets dig up a cemetery until we find something we can be outraged about". Like the massacre alone isn't enough to be indignant over. This kind of let's go backwards instead of forward because then someone else will have to give me what I want instead of me having to actually get out there and work for it is sad, really.
