hey Born---I am watching this, and see how golden eagle once again falls offtrack.
eagle, you quoted a non-Native american woman who said that the True worth of a race must be measured by the character of its womanhood.
So, using those mito terms, you mix the PERSONALITY and TENDENCIES of a people into their beginning? come on. You know that by fact the character has zero to do with the racial groupings. You know that it is formed by genes and environs. Measured in the sense Mrs. Bethune used means: judged.
You got it all wrong, bro. Now, explain exactly how I can determine my race: Heres some facts:
I am 1/4 Native American. 1/4 Portuguese. 1/4 Brazilian Black--- yoruba, precisely. 1/4 African American-chinese. Tell me what my strand is.......
where does my indian start? the facts show that they mixed in with Portuguese people in a certain area of Brazil. then those portos mixed in with the Slaves. Where does the actual grandfather in my case start and end? How about the half chinese and black grandmother? how about the portuguese-white and black mulatto grand father? where in this case does the races begin? See, you have many, many Black American people like me. And to top that off, I have several warring native american tribal bloodlines running thru these here veins, and 2 types of French! And even some Ketus.
What race am I? I have features of all of these peoples.
How can you state that Mary McCleod Bethune is a "non-native"? Where is your proof of this when pratically every Nubian in Amexum has a percentage of native american blood in their veins. You consistantly speak of what you do not know. Some such as my wife are full blooded natives. The world sees my wife who is a full blooded Choctaw as as 'African American'. Your argument lacks no real substance. And your study is incomplete.
