okay okay

Enough on this subject -- this is like talking about the Bible no 2 people 
will get the same massage. I'm also the product of the slave and the slavery. 
But if this part of history didn't happen would I be here today. Let's not 
dwell on who was the kinder slave owner. Let's just remember it happened so 
we don't allow it 2 happen again 2 any group of people.

In fact I meant on of my distant cousins this year while I was in SC. I'm 
black she was white. We had the best time together. Helping each other find 
our links in history. I love her just like I love my other cousins. People 
wise up this is genealogy we will find the good the bad and the ugliness of 
it. If you let pettiness get in the way we will never get any where!

Slavery was then, lets deal with right now!  Our children are seeing past 
color lines. Which means we are getting there, let's not let the past ruin 
our future? I personally find great pleasure in seeing my sons embrace all 
people. " Just as I taught them."
    {{{{{{   food for thought is -- you ever wonder why we are born without 
the ability 2 see color}}}}}    hummmmmm  makes you think, doesn't it.

Now I'm lQQking for my people Black, White, & Indian from Marion South 
Carolina.
