Californians have no shortage of stupid. The racism that was given to Japanese and Chinese in that state far outweigh the actions committed against blacks. California showed their direct racism to the Asians into the 1960’s and the proof is in the laws they enforced there.

“Best to let some skeletons stay hidden while impacted folks are still alive.”

Decades ago before DNA, my mother and her sisters had an older female cousin, who warned them not to research their past ancestors beyond 3rd to 4th cousins.

Up to this past year, no real criminals showed up going back to the early 1600’s.

Recently, our DNA shows that Angela Davis, and I have a common male ancestor, so we are distant cousins.

“My ancestors paid in full at Andersonville!”

One of my ancestors was wounded and died in Andersonville, and I am a direct descendent from one of his survivors.

I will take being awake in the morning and able to get up right to walk on the grassy side versus the option you cited!

Back in the 60’s my folks did a family tree. One line had 5 brothers who served. Two died at second battle of the Wilderness, another captured and died at Andersonville .Of the two who survived one was a direct ancestor.

Read the book when I was in middle school. A horrible place, it’s said Donaldson was near as bad.

My ancestors were the original slaves until Moses freed us 3,000 years ago.

Last I checked, Egypt was in Africa. Am I an African-American descendent of slaves?

I’ve had a tough time researching my family tree. Too many ancestors had no siblings and died childless.

I’m owed $617,394.

I self-identify as a black lesbian (a realization I came to after attending a Joan Armatrading concert in 1984), and I went to an all-black school for a year back in the early 1970s (in Richmond, Ca).

Gavin, please send the check to my address in Idaho.

One reason I do not want to do 23 and Me,

and like Ancestry the actual testing is done in China where it is added to the PLA’s worldwide DNA database which they are using to create a genetic virus targeting all races except Han Chinese.

“I’ve had a tough time researching my family tree. Too many ancestors had no siblings and died childless.”

A first cousin got me into the basics with the ancestors on our mother’s side. The data was well documented as our lead
ancestor was well documented from the UK to the N.Carolina.

I was able to trace that clan directly to my maternal grandfather, grand mother, my mother and her sisters, their offspring and mine down to the 1950 census and other ancestor documentation.

My Dad’s documentation from 1619 ancestors to him/me and close relatives was really time consuming to trace.

I wasted a lot of time trying to document native American ancestors on my Dad’s sidebased on “oral history”.

Then, based on standard genealogy paper data, my mother’s untold but paper documented Indian ancestors has showed up in several books.

I have just under 30,000 so called documented ancestors and living relatives in Ancestor.com.

My wife isn’t really interested past a couple of generations. Some distant cousins did a good book on her Mother’s and Dad’s side a couple of decades ago.

I identify as black and have a birth certificate that says I am 173 years old. California owes me $2.7 million.

Over $30 billion was stolen in the state from the covid funds the Feds sent. Imagine the theft of the reparations money.
Everyone will identify as black.

“When the blacks burn down LA again, he will be toast.”

I seriously doubt blacks have the capability to even start a campfire, let alone torch LA. In case you haven’t been paying attention - and nobody is so you’re not alone - Mexicans have racially cleansed blacks from entire communities in LA County.

Watts, for example, was nearly 100% black during the LA riots back in 1992. Now it’s nearly 80% Mexican. Where did the blacks go? Nobody knows. LA county will become majority Mexican this year.

Anyone who thinks that blacks will stroll into LA and burn it down is living in 1992. Mexicans would stomp blacks like bugs. The race war between Mexicans and blacks has been completely ignored by the racist mainstream press. The press doesn’t want its useful idiot white, liberal females to know that Obuma’s army has been annihilated.

BTW, FReepers predicted that California would be taken over by Mexicans years ago. Good for us. Nostradamus still lives at FR.
