1. Regarding "The Browning of America" . . .

. . . As the gentleman in the posted video alluded to:

I have made this comment to friends. Perhaps I have stated it in this or another forum. Frankly, I wish I could print it on a bumper sticker or a T-shirt.

As long as there is a green and livable earth, I do not care if the "brown" inherit it.


This is coming from a second-generation American of Italian descent, who is currently regarded as white. My grandmother's naturalization certificate lists her complexion as "dark"; and I know there was a time when "Eye-talians" were not regarded as white people.

I am not claiming that my family's experience equates in any way to that of African-Americans, but when I hear my family members use racial epithets or make stupid, ugly comments about "those people", I want to scream. And not just because the comments are stupid and ugly and hateful, but because our grandparents and even our dad were called wops at one time and were treated poorly because of their ethnicity. I don't understand how people can know such a history and then turn around and treat others with the same small-minded ugliness.

So, yeah--ebony, mocha, caramel or olive-skinned, let the Brown inherit the Earth. May it be a green world and filled with justice.
