what in your past or present have you found out to not be true about anything?
at a very young age , as if i understood the concept, i would have thought i was a "full blood" white. when i was 7 i learn that i am part american indian. i find this to be true, because there are a couple of cultural traits passed down in my family that have been verified to be a common eastern woodland belief.
then later i learn that i have a black ancestor, where my great great grandmother had an affair with a freed mulatto slave who worked for the family.
then this year i learned at a family reunion that on my mother's side there is a jewish ancestor.
life is bizarre, interesting , and strange. because of all this i always wonder about those who claim to be fullblood anything. and i have learned that many, not all, many people who are racist are not fullbloods. (this not applying to me because i have never been racist.) and those who do claim indian, would never claim a black ancestor.
life gets weirder everyday.
