Just be wary of those who pin labels on you simply to divide you from others. Love is indivisible. Love multiplies itself wherever it is cultivated. Live in Beauty, walk in awe of God’s diversity.
Gotta go kids! Live well!
“Ethnic” is going behind the walls put up by the profiteers of Slavery & discovering what makes YOU, well…..you. It’s a private journey & anyone who shares their ethnicity understands we are much more then we appear to be on the surface to ourselves as well as each other. An eye-opening journey of self- discovery!
Iran/Persian, Sicilian, Mexican, Apache, Navajos, etc. Are just a few ethnic cultures with similar blood-lines. History, wars, border fights, etc. Shaped their identities & cultures. Stop hatin’ & share the love. Admire the Beauty! African Dispora, check it out.
Yep. A lot of folks think like Pat. I guess standing behind a color, such as those instilled in times of slavery (“white” or “black”) tends to pit folks on one side or another which was the goal back then by those who profited from Slavery…ever seen the wealth of Banks in England? Slavery was the most profitable industry for Colonial powers!
But “ethnic” is going behind those walls & discovering what makes ME, well…..me. It’s a private journey & anyone who shares their ethnicity understands we are more then we appear to be to ourselves as well as each other. It’s worth the journey of self- discovery!
Iran/Persian, Sicilian, Mexican, Apache, Navajos, etc. Are just a few ethnic cultures with similar blood-lines. History, wars, border fights, etc. Shaped their identities & cultures. Stop hatin’ & share the love. Admire the Beauty! African Dispora, check it out.
Huh…Iran/Persian, Sicilian, Mexican, Apache, Navajos, etc are just a few ethnic cultures with similar bloodlines???? So, Don Corleone liked to smoke the peace pipe??? Don Sitting Bull??? You know what I think you’re smoking something….from what I can tell from the sh*t you’re typing…lol.
Only one thing I will agree with you is that people that feel proud of themselves solely or largely because of their ethnicity or race are ridiculous and ignorant and probably have to do that because they can’t warrant any pride from their personal lives.
why the fuck are people comparing persians and mexicans? thats like so random
