I agree with a lot of your rant. The real issue is that there are idiots on both sides, at the present moment though the idiots on the "progressive" side actually get their opinions listened to.
In reality neither sides idiots should get a voice

Why?

Well a lot of African Americans don't really know their ancestry because of slavery, and also I see nothing wrong with some wanting to know more about how they got where they are. Roots is historical fiction but you can still learn from historical fiction

Ah, I remember the days of rush to post with no regards to spelling or context.

Well it might seem insensitive but they were living in a bush somewhere in Africa. And honestly, they were probably slaves before they were sold to the Dutch. There is still a bunch of slavery over in Africa to this day.

This. Like they were keeping all kinds of records in a village somewhere that basically lived in the stone age. Get a DNA test for crying out loud.

This, this here, is white privilege. Not you getting a job that i think i should have gotten. You taking for granted shite like, your ancestry. Knowing where you came from. Knowing where you came from, who your great grand parents are, where they came from, rather or not they were even slaves to begin with, is not a privilege afforded to African Americans, at least the vast majority of them, especially the ones from the south.
I can't trace my family ancestry back either FWIW
has nothing to do with "white privilege" but more to do with social classes and since my ancestors were poor, they didn't really have much documentation

Slaves received housing, food, medical care, structured exercise and were sometimes violently corrected if they broke the rules.
Today, there is no structured exercise program. Progress.

Sorry, I was too busy imagining what it was like stepping off a landing craft knowing I was going to get shot like all my friends. But doing it anyway because that is how much I loved the freedom and opportunity of America.
I would never have imagined that knowing ones great great great grandmother would trump that to the point that a large number of an entire generation would never appreciate the American opportunity.
You know, I imagined shite that had something to do with Memorial Day

They're the only ones that count. Evil whitey took them out of their peaceful village in a beautiful garden of eden and brought them to this hellhole.
