Who among us is not of mixed heritage? I know I am.

79. I haven't either since learning my white and Cherokee adopted

grandmother was sisters with a black woman. They used the Bible to explain it to me, but I don't remember all of the details. I do know it is in there somewhere that we are all really brothers and sisters.

Before that, I was a very messed up kid. I was used to hearing racist hatred from the biological family, then heard that. It did change me from the path I was originally on. By blowing my mind they way they did, they freed me from the poison of racist hate. I'm glad they did it too. That day is a major memory from my early childhood.

I'm with you. I hope the races do mix enough that we can finally become just the human race. I'm sick of all the racist hatred all around. It's too much and the violence messes me up every time something like this happens.

I'm glad you started this thread though, because I hadn't thought about that day in a long time. Remembering it made me feel better. I only know I'm a mongrel of a few different races, but not the specifics.

I just learned that one of the people in the SC government started a bill to take the confederate flag down from the statehouse. So, maybe there is hope. You know?
