A subject that I have not heard/seen discussed which I find of interest-how many "white" people [View all]

have fairly recent ancestors of color? I do. My paternal great-grandmother was African American and I am so very proud to be the great granddaughter of this magnificent woman who raised my Grandfather and Great Aunt. They were people of tremendous integrity and wisdom who spent their entire lives helping others. Sadly, there are people who would deny. Racism is beyond evil!
