I'm divided because I'm half and half. One half is the innocent person who lived in Africa and was brought as a slave and the other is the one who lived peacefully in America and had to endure abuse and slavery and death. And yet another half is from Ireland running from famine and Jew running from the inquisition and Filipino brought back thru the global slave trade. Yet another half is Italian and German I'm sure. I'm a mutt. Even my last name is a mutt. My last name is as useful at tracing my roots like Mesa or Arboles (table and trees).
I made a conscious decision to make my kids brown. Not my own kind of brown but a different new-ish kind of brown. One that has no other nation I thought, just America. But now they're taking brown people to random countries. But it was a sort of good idea.
It's good to live near the reservation and be able to visit to see how at least some of those who fought for independence got independence. It's a never ending battle, but it's a good battle. It's good to celebrate the wins.
