I think we all should do this
not for our own benefit
but those of us girls who HAVE Euro or Native blood need to have ELITE slapped under our username
hell we even need to have better posting privileges
there needs to be two classes of members... US and them

Well everyone would have an ELITE sign on here if that's the case tbh
Most African Americans have European ancestry inside of them.
they "assume" that it's Native American, or their grandparents tell them it's NA as an explanation to their ancestor's different hair textures and skin....just to cover up slave rape stories.
No one wants to accept that slave rape went down. so this is where the Native Cherokee mess got started. it passed from generation to generation. and now you have people taking DNA tests upset that nothing is showing up.
This was the saddest case, a 76 year old black woman just now finding out her truth:

Even 2-3% NA blood is very rare for us. And white people, who also assume they have Native American heritage...probably because of their white guilt and being ashamed of what their ancestors did to mine.

They're also taking tests and discovering that they're well...just straight up fucking slave master white!

boo hoo white privilege....they have my deepest sympathy
.
I'm just glad my grandmother has always been a straightforward, strong woman. She flat out told the truth about what happened on her father's side of the family. Not some "Love in London" fairytale mess owt.
