Don’t forget...Instead of snowflakes...sprinkle around watermelon seeds......
lol. how could I leave that out?
Black Americans know NOTHING about Africa and I can’t imagine a number of them have visited there.
At least I’ve been to Italy/Sicily a few times, have distant relatives and my parents spoke it, though not as the first language of course.
And for brevity’s sake, I sometimes refer to myself on the board as Italian American. no such thing. I am an American with Sicilian ancestors. That’s it.
Love some of the customs and the country, but is a WAY WAY DISTANT second to my country, the US.
Oh Yeah!
Remember that legendary American folk hero and pioneer watermelon farmer Johnny Watermelonseed?
He traveled the American frontier in the 1800's passing out free watermelon seeds and establishing watermelon patches throughout the American Midwest.
