I'm not sure who is funnier. shemale for its repulsive name and icons and all-caps shouting, or doombinis for the earnest lecture about how all white people need to feel guilty for "strucutral racism

I'm one of those half-breeds, so their rules must be complicated. I easily "pass" for white, so maybe I'm supposed to feel the guilt of being born in white privilege. On the other hand, I'm a Choctaw living within the twelve counties of Oklahoma that my ancestors were force-marched to in the Trail of Tears (so I have absolute moral authority!).

So, am I guilty white for "passing", or am I victim Injun for growing up on the land my ancestors were forced onto?

I feel no lasting bitterness over what happened in 1832, so I guess I'm a guilty white.

And yes, it is contemptible, to echo J.C. Watts, that this legacy is still being hustled today. You think I would prefer growing up the ancestral lands in Mississippi? :) I'm not held down by that legacy at all.

Why not be BOTH? Then you can oppress yourself, hate yourself for being the oppressor, and fight against the oppression you're responsible for against your own people, and do all this without even having to leave the comfort of your own armchair??

History is important as something to learn from. When recent, it should be a guide to whom to trust and whom not to trust (for the countervailing example, witness Obama's current Iranian follies). But once the point is reached where all the victors and victims are dead, and the social institutions have changed on both sides, it is silly to carry grudges. That's what the PC crowd doesn't get.

I keep remembering stories from Japanese and Arab culture, about Blood Feuds that lasted generation after generation until all those on one side were dead. Entire generations whose only reason for existence was to Avenge the Dishonor of My Clan/Tribe.

OT but that happened a lot in Norse culture, especiallhy in Iceland. Or so the old Sagas would have us believe.

Oh, they get it all right. When grudges never die, "Let's you and him fight" can grant the instigator power over both sides in perpetuity. Like a giant boot, stamping forever on a helpless, upturned face, neh?

Hehe, sounds like you'd get along with the Indian lady that horrified a big city guy at my aunt's shop a few years back
