However…it also reveals an innate desire in some to be enslaved…to have that master controlling their destiny…
It also illustrates that the enslavement permeates the entirety of the pyramid…from the corner to the cap stone…
Actually the entirety of the evaluation is meaningful. Sorry about the knee jerk.
She didn't want to be enslaved. She wanted acceptance for who she was. We grew up in a very wealthy and racist enviornment, but we were neither.
Her Sicilian/Jewish/ Native characteristics (and her being taller than average) caused her (and me and my other sister) to be treated differently. No
boys would date her, even if the boy liked her, it wouldn't have been acceptable to the parents.
They called us 'Imports'.
My other sister actually ended up getting plastic surgery because she got sick of being called 'Jew Nose'. She regrets it now of course. Back to
the other sister. When she turned 18 and left the house in the country she realized that she was attracted to darker colored folks and they showed her
attention and weren't afraid of dating an 'ethnic' looking girl. Did she get caught up? Yes. But I don't think she wanted to be enslaved. Just
accepted. And when people would find out that she dated Black Guys they called her things like 'Mud Shark' and 'Coal Burner'. There is actually a klan
chapter where we lived.
Ive heard every racist joke, every reasoning around , every racist philosophy, period. Yet it didn't take hold in my heart.(very well could have
made me hate, wouldn't have mattered the object of it) When people told me racist jokes it was extra funny to them because it wasn't hidden. And it
still happens. My brothers in law constantly make racist comments, even in front of me and my nephew. Its pretty hard sometimes. It is just something
we endure. Sometimes you have to go along to get along, right?
One of the strangest things about the school experience was that we had one actual black kid in our school, his dad was a preacher, kid had no
friends and his dad made him wear a white shirt and black tie to school every day. I always admired him, though I wasn't able to reach out and become
friends...I regret that, but I was young and experiencing my own type of segregation. I hope he is well. Im sure he is a success, I can't imagine what
type of character he developed from his experience.
We didn't want to be slaves. Quite the opposite. We wanted to be free of the stereotypes that being poor and not all the way white carried with
them. My daughter went out with a young man just the other night and some jerk at the gas station made a comment about all the monkeys that he's been
seeing around lately. That mouth breathing pig fornicating scum wad is super fortunate I wasn't there. Definitely would have had to have been bailed
out.
Anywho, thanks for reading and taking the time to respond.
