I'm Heinz 57

Just a mutt

I guess I'll never understand peoples obsession with who their ancestors were. Most of us are mutts, truth be told.
Why should I be proud of being any certain color? It's just pigment. It's meaningless.

Lol My grandmother always said we were Heinz 57
Haven't heard that in a long time

Everybody hates "white trash". There seems to be more and more of them.

We would be better off if we eliminated white trash, black trash, Indian trash, Latin trash, Euro trash and Asian trash.

Pipe dream. People are getting trashier by the minute.

if your taking out the trash start with the lawyers.

I'm a light-skindid southern US male. You owe me NOTHING and I owe you NOTHING.

Say it loud-"I'm Black and I'm Proud"

OK.
Boco's black and he's proud!

Probably not as black as that PM chick of yours though, eh?

I could never figure out why someone would want to walk around looking like Bozo the clown with their hair colored purple, pink, blue or whatever wild color they can think of.

Same with face tattoos. Something is disconnected I figure.

The couple of times the US Census taker has come to my door, I have messed with them a bit when it comes to race. I tell them "other", and then they look at me a little funny, and I tell them I'm Sami (my mom's side). That "race" is usually a new one for them.

I really don't care about these issues, but it is fun to mess with people who do.

We are not defined by a country, or lineage. Not completely. Once a person has grown, and mentally matured as well, they are the stewards of what they become.

Some cultures are known for their need to be tough and endure hardship put upon them , for generations. And some of the most beautiful artistry in talents are born because of that culture. To help them endure...but so beautiful, that the world embraces them in admiration.

Russian music, and song, building architecture, poetry, and other arts are wonderful to enjoy.

The Blues came from depths of sadness that have a beauty all its own .

To name just a couple examples.

You have added the spectrum of life and enjoyment that is uniquely you. As we all can do , and many have.

Never let this minority of angry nothings of the world drown out the reality and happiness of what one accomplishes.

Truth be told, the glimpses I've had into the lives of the dysfunctional ones, they are angry, lost on purpose, and without anything created or building up , to be proud of. Jealousy and insecurity drives them to belittle others and all they think they have is race . Empty words. They are wasting their one life tearing down , never creating.

You know all this too....I am only serving as a reminder of being proud of what we are and can do.

I would not change where I was born, or the heritage I came from for anything. Events in my life, yes....but not at all my "races" that make up me, or the things I love.

The only things that separate you and I are an invisible border of country , and some deep salt water . We would have the time of our lives in a visit face to face, sharing stories, songs, music, foods, art, the land, anything else. We are alive. That is a mighty thing.

Everybody hates Whitey?

Hate em back, it works for me.

Blaine -- that is the first intelligent thing you have posted for a while -- thank-you and not bad for a lawyer.

Not gonna say I'm "proud" of being white but I'm HAPPY I am.

The problem is that liberals focus on all the wrong things whites have done in the past. They neglect to mention the positives such as everywhere whites have migrated to they have mostly flourished. Built prospering cities, mostly crime free neighborhoods, etc. These days thanks to the liberal media it spews that minorities do no wrong and that white people are responsible for their failures. Blame white people for enslaving you. Yet forget the fact that rival tribes of your fellow Africans conquered you, enslaved you then traded you to whites. Fun fact that Arabs took more African slaves than whites did yet that gets conveniently forgotten. I don’t hate anyone for the color of their skin. I would hope anyone would judge me based on my character as I would them. Garbage comes in all colors including white. I don’t agree with the decisions that my ancestors made back in the day whether it was killing the native Americans or forcing the blacks to work the plantation. I am not proud of my peoples’ bad deeds, but I am proud of my peoples’ positive accomplishments. I will never be ashamed for being born white as no person should be ashamed for being born black, Asian. Hispanic, etc. Before anyone judges someone based on their skin color they should remember that there isn’t one single person alive today that had a choice at birth on what their race would be.
