Re: THE RANT THREAD!
This has been brought on by a few things I've read and heard lately that just ... ugh.
Yes, I'm Caucasian. Yes, to my knowledge, all of my ancestors (for the most part, except for the possibility that a story my grandfather told us) were as well. But you know what? They didn't come over to this country until AFTER slavery had been abolished. Also, they came AFTER the native Americans got the short end of the stick, as well. So, stop trying to tell me that I should be ashamed for those things happening, and that they're my fault.
People are shitty to each other all over the world, all throughout time, and it's sort of become clear that that is pretty much part of the human condition, but that doesn't mean that you have the right to make others feel like crap because someone with the same genetic heritage as you was treated poorly by someone with the same genetic heritage as me.
