Ok, those of you who are regulars know I am a conservative!  (not a republican!  if you said that, go to the start of JU!).  And you also know I hate racism with a passion.  More so than any fake on the left, or faux on the right.  I destest it!

Why?

I am french.  All know that.  I am a bit german.  Ja Wohl mien Herr oder Frau!  I am also some of many other things.  Some I dont know.  But thanks to a distant cousin (now a refugee from New Orleans - yes you PC twits!  A refugee!), I am also black.  Not "Afro American" or what ever piss poor shit you want to call yourselves.  You the ones that dont have a clue.

No, Black.  As in Santo Domingan.  As in maybe from Africa, but they and I dont claim that.  Born on this side of the atlantic, and damn proud of it!

I dont know the percentage.  I really dont care.  Does it matter to you?  Hell, I am darker than Doug Wilder and he calls himself Black! (if you dont know the name- Dont even talk to me about race!)

So what am I?  I am Black, peach (what you call white) and god knows what else.  I am not Native American.

But my Ex is.  And so are my kids.  Want to make a case of it?

I am not Hispanic.  But my Wife is (and I am darker than her).  Want to try for number 2?

The only thing that I cannot claim in my blood line, through marriage or heritage, is Asian.

So you want to talk to my friend Tadami?

This is just a rant.  And a warning to all trolls. 

Dont ever talk to me about race!  For while I may not have lived in your shit, I know a hell of a lot more than you.  And I dont use my race, color, creed, or beliefs as crutches! So dont pull that shit with me.  Because if you are a mensch, you will not try to do that crap. If you are a Casper Milquetoast, you will.

Dont tell me about your problems.  Tell me about your sucesses. Those I honor and will give you your due.  The rest gets my scorn.

You were not born into slavery.  Indeed, with few exceptions, you were not even born under Jim Crow.  How you live your life is your decision.  But dont blame me for your failures.

And dont blame me for your failures.  My Ancestors overcame.  Just as anyone can. Mine just did not look for a handout, and instead made a life.
