I don't think of myself as white. I am more of a creamy beige. Not that I am ducking this fight. I am a mother, and will not have my children denigrated to second or third-class citizens.

It makes my head hurt to imagine how we got here, or why we, here in the US, allowed it. For the moment, we are still a white-majority country, although some of us seem to be deeply ashamed of that. I am not. No one should be ashamed of their race. Unless they are Romulans, or some character named Korn Pop. They were bad dudes.
