I wrote a post that noone replied to, about me being full blooded sioux with white skin. My fathers grandfather (uh..my greatgrandfather i guess) was white, so I guess I am not FULL, but I always wondered why my skin was so pale compared to my mother/father and even my sister's.
Anyway because my skin is lighter I am refered to as 'whiteboy' and people think I am crazy for questioning the system (which my friends say works FOR me, so I should not question it). I never see it here but on some other forums that I frequent (usually about or created for Native American lifestyles) I get talked down to simply because I write somewhat intelligently. People say I am white and lying.......well, this is the racism of my own people showing thru. What I act intelligent and proper so I am white???!!!???
This brings me to all the white people that wear baggy pants and speak like thugs. I hate hearing other whites or they themselves claiming to be acting black.....wtf? Yo Yo wuzup dawg...I's be presuh-DENT (love chris rock) is that what all black people sound like....no, so why is it that my posts seem so WHITE to people.
and if anyone wants to comment my original post concerned why do so many people that are not white view whites as un-able or unwilling to change the system? I have a few white friends that I would die for and they for me....but my NA or AA friends think they would choose sides if it came down to it, I know this not to be true...and I commented on the fact that so many minorities do not vote (i used to think that mattered until recent pres. election). Anyway I am sick of RACE being an issue when it really is of little consequence to political parties outside of black/white.....what ever happened to all the Native Americans, Asian Americans or Latino Americans, if you watch the news you'd think america was only black and white...........
