All right smart white man, what does half-breed mean?
The term “half-breed” in America is an archaic term that dates back to the 1750’s, when American Indian and European bloodlines mixed, the offspring were known as “half-breeds”.
This, in fact, applies to ME. in the true American cultural historical sense, I AM A HALF-BREED, and in my upbringing and my parent’s country of origin, this term is NOT OFFENSIVE.
Now, in the technical sense, this would apply to animals of somewhat similar species that normally don’t breed.
This is more closely what I was referring to, though maybe not EXACTLY.
The remaining definitions are modern day corruptions of the 1750’s use of the term that I don’t acknowledge. If this term was used in a classic western, that’s where I recognize it from.
I in fact love the historical reference to the term, as it brings to light that America dealt with race issues prior to the Revolutionary War.
As for Obama, I’m highlighting the fact that HE HAS NO RACE AT ALL. HE CAN’T CLAIM TO BE EITHER ONE, and anyone that tries to claim that he is “African American” is very mistaken.
I apologize to my fellow half-breeds for insulting you by categoring Obama in with the rest of us.
As for the rest of you, maybe you should start watching some old westerns and SEE HOW AMERICA WAS REALLY FORMED!
There. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Did it take you all afternoon to put all that together? It really doesn't wash - people here aren't dumb you know.
Regardless, I'd rather not "smoke it." Bull***t doesn't cook well or taste very good when smoked.
It appears that you - at least to some degree - feel badly about the original post. Why not just admit that and move on instead of (so verbosely) attempting to put a new coat of paint it?
