7. You know Aegis

I walk this world as a black woman. It's the world I inhabit. But for some reason - I have a fear of self identifying with my ethnic and religious heritage - i.e. Passover at one of my maternal great grandmother's homes. You know why? I agree with everything you just wrote. I don't put it out there - until someone thinks they are being 'cute' and forces me to speak up. You would be amazed at some of the things I've heard raised in the Baptist church, attending a high school and university that were Catholic - and it's no wonder I ran to the Unitarian Church. You really want to get sick? Read that 'illuminati conspiracy' bullshit. It's Stormfront on speed.
