I am a "white" woman (born with "red" hair) with a mostly "white" family history (European except for the spouses of two male ancestors, 250 and 150 years ago respectively, who married Algonquin and Mohawk women). My family WAS mostly Republican for a long time, and ardent Abolitionists, and Anti-racist (my Methodist great-grandfather and great-grandmother, running a small poor rural church, did all their own manual labor, invited African-Americans to be their houseguests sometimes, and participated in a large petition drive to close those infamous Indian schools). Our family taught us that all human beings are equal. I never heard that n-word until I went to play at a new schoolfriend's house at age 8, and my mother's jaw dropped in horror when I asked her what it meant, and she told me about the horrors of slavery and the continued killings and beatings of Black people, etc., and WHY I must never, never say that word again. The change in both parties was gradual, and my family gradually switched allegiance as the Republicans grew increasingly racist. I will never forget the bewildered look on my mother's face, not long before she died, after that horrendous switch between the two parties, as she said, "I guess I am voting only for Democrats this time."

I DID NOT say that all "white" females are bigots and narcissists. I said that most of the "white" women who cast these votes for racist Republicans are bigots and narcissists, and deluded about reality from an early age. Do you notice how I put the word "white" in quotation marks? Just telling children they are "white" loosens their grasp on reality. And SOME children in these families ARE taught that our pale skin is a sign of superiority. And that IS narcissism. I do not refer only to southern US states. I grew up in Illinois, and later worked in Illinois schools. When I was working in small-town public schools and some Black children first appeared in our school, I overheard some of my little fellow palefaces expressing some bad feelings about that. I gathered them around a pale brown table and placed a sheet of white paper on the table. "What color is the table," I asked ("brown&quot . "What color is the paper?" ("white&quot . "Now let's all put our hands on the paper," I said (done). "What color are our hands?" (consternation). "If the the paper is white and the table is brown, and our hands are about the same color as the table but not the paper, then, don't you see, we are not white." There was silence, and then one little boy quavered bravely, "My Mommy is white!" Of course I did not press the issue further; he was only being loyal to his family. I just left it for them all to remember and think about.

If you are a non-narcissist, then I am glad to hear it. We need all the support for equality that we can get. And we need all the non-deluded Caucasians to speak up against the delusions of grandeur that have plagued our European heritage for centuries, possibly stemming from the geographical isolation of so many of them back in the old country across the sea. Europe was pretty isolated and primitive for a long time, especially England/Scotland/Ireland. They often painted themselve Blue to keep invaders away. I studied Social Anthropology a lot in college, including the nature of most of the most isolated bands of people. Of course, it is common for these isolated groups to imagine that they are the only real people, at least at first. Whenever these "white" fools start up about our so-called Heritage, I just want to whisper, "SHHH! You are busting our cover!"
