Between the Brits and the Southerners, I never know how to take that. All the "Yankees," as it relates to statesmen, definitly do know their origin stories.

I'm Half English, a Quarter Irish, and a Quarter Spanish. We don't forget in the Northeast. We're the melting pot.

this made me laugh inside, and kinda chuckle outloud.

i'm a mixture, too ~ German, Spanish, English, and Irish. And maybe it's because i'm SO mixed that i feel like i do...

Whatever the case, do you plan to hate on whomsoever forced your grandparents to leave where they were?

And, Prog? Because they live in America, they can go visit anytime they can afford to, and if they'd like, they could move back. Do they dislike German people, now? Or do they realize that everyone got fooled by Hitler? That HE, and his corrupt governance, is what to dislike/hate, not the folks living there right now, that didn't have a thing to do with it all?

And that's all i'm saying. WE didn't force anyone onto boats, to come here to be slaves. NONE of the Black people living here, now, came over on slave ships, and none have ever been slaves. Because of folks like the Obama's, Rev. Wrights, Jesse Jacksons, etc., we are expected to carry around some sort of guilt over something we had NO CONTROL over, and DIDN'T PARTICIPATE IN.

i'm not guilty of doing that ~ not then, and not now. i have 3 super close friends ~ one's Japanese, one's black, and one's hispanic. i love them, and they love me, and none of us is concerned about race. That's what America was aiming for with the anti-segregation, anti-discrimination stuff ~ if folks live, work, and go to school together, they figure out real quick that they're pretty much all the same on the inside, and the outside doesn't make that much diff. Or at least, they were supposed to be able to figure it out...

Er, no, they don't hate German people. They hate the holocaust and those Germans who were behind it.

WendyCal

Exactly.

So why were you arguing then?

WendyCal

i wasn't aware that i was arguing, actually. i could see the dude's point, was all, and thought that it related to life, in general. i really do try to look at things from both sides, to examine how i would feel, in the same situation. Some are easy (like this one) because there is a common factor.

Hey, is THAT what's bothering y'all? That i always do that ~ try to see it from both sides?
