How white is white? I'm less than white with Oneida and Black mixed in, but I realize that I can't wish the past away. I have to live in the here and now.

We cannot wish the past away...nor should we ever forget it. We can choose to live in peace now with red and yellow, black and white...whoever allows us to! But, sadly, there will always be those who are too ignorant to find peace together. Spiritdove ~v~ on 12/7/04 3:46 PM, Charles Robinson at charles2549@sbcglobal.net wrote: > How white is white?

Thanks Wayne. I am part white too...but my Ojibwa blood is warmest within me and my Spirit is Indian.

Have you heard the latest joke coming out of New York state? The Oneidas acquired and reclaimed 1000 acres to build another casino. We are told to look ahead for seven generations into the future. I look back seven generations and see what my ancesters lost. How much lucre will salve the collective conscious?

Sadly, there will also be too many who have a lust and greed that hurts others. Such is the way of the world. I am in the world, but not of it.
