When I was growing white kids loved loved talking about their ancestral immigration history to US and the pieces they still retained from their culture. I would also share about what i knew about my history before and after slavery.

Now it seems people have lost that link.

8. One set of grandparents was born in the USA

The other set in Italy.
The set of grandparents born in USA were first generation Americans.
So, really, my family hasn't been in USA for all that long.
Even though I technically am, I don't consider myself to be white.
We are very, very much Italian--old school, the traditions, etc

But my Mom and my Aunts' food is almost as good.

I, of course, was raised Catholic, but am now agnostic/atheist (don't ask lol)

The corporate fluffers who run that place really really REALLY want their tax cuts. They're pushing like hell to get that unqualified shitmound elected.
