Disappointed to find no African DNA.

I’m a 6th generation New Orleanian & a genealogist. My natural-blonde sister & I had always hoped to find something “interesting” in the family tree to explain her incredible tan – as well as some very dark complexions & hair in one of our “purebred German” lines. I got very excited when a distant cousin (another branch of the family) found privateer Pierre Lafitte’s mulatto mistress among her ancestry. Alas, a genealogical analysis of my DNA turned up no African ancestors much closer than “Lucy”! There is only one river, there is only one sea, there is only one race – and it is human.

We’re all one race. Human Race (some people don’t know that).

Stop Thinking; Black. Start Thinking; Human.

We won’t get “over” race until blacks stop looking for racism. Trust me, you don’t have to look. Saying someone is racist because they say something critical about a black person is ridiculous and devalues the label of “racist”. Whites can never truly understand what being Black is like. I wish Liberals would stop thinking they can. Blacks need to be less sensitive and whites need to be more sensitive. Hate crime laws will destroy us as a free nation. (we’re almost already there) Words don’t have any more power over you than what you give them. Affirmative action and the civil rights movement have done more harm to white/black relations than any other causes for 400 years. They’ve also done more harm to Blacks than the KKK ever did. Stop listening to those who do not have your best interests at heart. How can you tell? Watch what the results of their actions and words really are. Democrats have done more harm to the Black family and to Blacks than the KKK which they originally founded. Planned Parenthood through abortion kills more black children than any KKK lynchers ever did. Who supports Planned Parenthood? Democrats. Who denies changes in the school system so that more black children can get a real education? Democrats and their money men the Unions.

Skin is white, race is HUMAN!

I was raised in a small all-white town and never saw a black person except on TV until I was 17 (1975). From the first experience I was confused as to racism. What I saw was fellow human beings who happened to look different. From that point on I refused to engage in any negative conversations about people of other ethnic backgrounds, which sometimes makes for some awkward times within my own family. Thirty Six years later, I am glad that so much has changed in equality, but I also see there is still a long way to go. I hope I live long enough to see the world when racist is a dirty word and there is no more “N” word.

I’ve learned that it’s not about ethnic origins, it’s about human nature. There is good and bad everywhere in this world, regardless of gender, religion, color or sexual orientation.

Our humanity is the link that binds us. Lack of it, is what could extinguish us.

Really? But you don’t look Mexican…

We need to face what is uncomfortable and finally realize that we are all Human together. We cannot take the next step until we acknowledge “others” as “like us” and not like “them”.

I consider myself an earthling, a citizen of the world, a mutt and I am proud of it.

I am probably optimistic because even though I am Mexican, I haven’t faced racism directed at me. I don’t “look Mexican” according to many Americans. THAT is part of the problem. Thinking I should look or think or act a certain way because of where I come from or what I look like.

I size up my class every year, and I have my own prejudices. My students size me up every year, and they have theirs. Through our discussions we get to know each other on a deeper level, and 95% of the time, we end the class with positive memories of our human bond. It takes time to trust the people around us. We need to give each other that time in this country, to find we are all in this together. We all wear hoodies some of the time.

An inefficient use of our resources.

I have never understood racism except that I understand that we are all prejudiced and that it is a part of the human condition.

Racism is not *seeing* the person’s humanity, it’s sticking everyone in the pre-assigned box and results in shock when human complexity dares to defy the formula.
