^No, see it's okay to judge by skin color when it's taking away from evil whitey and giving to the opressed. :-)
I wonder since one of my namesakes was mixed if I can give back to myself? I'm feeling very confused.  :evillaugh: :fuelfire:

You're confused! I have ancestors that fought on both sides...I don't know whether to apologize or expect a thank you note.

Should we apologize to ourselves?  :devious: :therock: :clueless: Maybe I'll just by the colored portion a coffee or something, but what if I say to make the coffee light, is that wrong :thatsright: Ugh, the confusion... :naughty:

Blacks would be apologizing to other blacks, too, since many were fathered by white slave owners.

Not to mention the forefathers of the remaining tribes in Africa...oh this is so confusing...Did the Romans apologize to the Jews yet for enslaving them thousands of years ago? I think Italians need to pay..just sayin' :fuelfire: :fuelfire:
