You're assuming one, that I'm white. I'm not. I'm Navajo, German and Welsh. That said, I have also been nearly hospitalized for being white in the wrong place at the wrong time - Hello SoCal during the Rodney King riots.

I've been attacked for being pagan, for being gay and for my beliefs on race. I do not hold it against those that were ignorant, nor do I think the ignorance is a racial thing. Yes, three black girls beat me nearly into the hospital. Do I hate black people for this? No. I don't even hate the girls that did it. Do I hate Christians because my four year old was nearly assualted because her mommy is satanic? No.

If you keep making it a bloody issue, it will always be an issue. I have never owned slaves, my ancestors were slaves, my ancestors were also part of the Third Reich. I am not part of the Third Reich so I don't feel I need to make reperations for what ancestors I never knew did. I merely have respect for each person for being the person they are, or dislike them for the person they are. I don't see colour as a reason to hate, or apologize. My skin tone happens to be peachy, verging on red because I spent all day outside. I don't feel that is something to apologize for when, on a whole, I am a good person that works to make change to make this a better place.
