Okay. I won't insinuate you are doing anything you shouldn't.

I don't care. I actually went back over old family records, and my family was one of the ones that was quite tolerant of others.
...There's no way you can find that out through family records.

A couple of old papers with the wages of an Aboriginal man working for my great-great grandfather in his store. He got the same as a white man would have.

They kept very thorough records.

"Yea verily, today I hath endeavoured to give a charitable disposition to a Negro, a Mohammedean, and even a Jew, for our line is exceedingly tolerant towards all the lesser species of Man."


FWIW, I've checked the census records and nobody in my direct line of ancestry held slaves, that I can tell. That doesn't indicate tolerance though, it's more of an indication that they were too damn poor to afford any (like the vast majority of antebellum Southerners). Did find a couple of distaff branches that had one or two slaves here and there.  :-\

Yeah, but we've probably dealt out just a tad more than we've received.
What do you mean we? I haven't done anything of the sort.

"We" Referring to the very tenuously joined group of people defined as "White".

Sorry Bro, but for the rest of your life you will be judged by the Merits of all the "White" people who came before you instead of just your own.

Yeah, cause black/brown/yellow/purple people are never judged based on what other people who look like them do.  ::)

Today started out pretty shitty. I imagine it'll continue in that vein.

Also, this conversation is not really heading the best direction.

What? Rascism, both towards ourselves and others can make us sad.

Being a racist is great. It improves your circulatory and respiratory systems, keeps you fit, builds stamina, and with enough training you could even win a marathon or hundred meter dash or something.
