I am white,  blonde, blue eyed and fair  but my heritage is  Dutch, Irish, Cherokee Indian and English !   My mother is dark skinned, brown haired, brown eyed very much of Indian heritage.   My father was pure blooded English, blonde, blued eyed and fair skinned.     We are a cultural, DNA blend of what many AMERICANS are .....  if their ancestors have been in USA for a few generations.

hmmmmmmm   I never felt I did not belong to my mother, never worried that I did not look like her or my sister, that all 6 of my parents kids had various features blended from quite a gene pool !

Wow you are brave to post this!  

I, an American Irish English Scots Cherikee Chactaw person of mixed decent, never guite got the ethnic precidence of one race over another.   Having been raised around white, indian, and mexican folks, I just figured folks was folks.

When it was explained to me that I was White, I'd look at my arm and under the dirt see tan covering my pink skin.  I'd say - "No I'm not!  Here look I'm pink and tan and so are you cause you got pink in your skin too." 

Adam and Eve were my ancestors and I beleive they were everbody else's acestors too.   To me that puts us on the same footing, Adam became imperfect and spread that imperfection to the rest of us.   So none of us is perfect, which means we are still all on the safe footing, imperfect that is.

Hello Linda and Friends.

    I learned all about racism many years ago when my children were very young. We invited all of the children from their classes at school and several other little kids to a birthday party. They were of all colors and creeds. They all saw each other only as friends. It wasn't untill they all got much older that race became an issue. This is what they learned from the adults in their lives. Personally, I believe that what we can learn from our children is a much more valuable lesson than many of the lessons that we teach them.

   My philosophy is simple. I will love and respect you no matter what color you are as long as you love and respect me and those I care about. If you don't, I won't.
