Listen I get it. It has to be a punch to the gut to see that your ancestors didn't do much in the way of innovation or achievement, that they lived in huts built from poop and grass and wore bones through their noses and beat sticks on rocks to make music (and they are even still around today, yikes). Yeah it's embarrassing and if I was African I'd be wishing that I came from a more noteworthy lineage too.

But rewriting history isn't the answer guys. Even if one day all of the real historians died off and all of the history books went up in flames and all you had left were these bullshit we-wuz-kangz accounts of history, it would be, at best, a very hollow victory. Your predecessors never did any of that shit. You know it, and I know it, and nothing anybody says or does is going to change it.

Sitting around taking pride in your ancestors accomplishments is pretty lame though. I think it's great to learn about and awknoledge the accomplishments of those who came before us but it's utterly retarded to go sit around and be like "see those rocks over there! My ancient relative whom I don't even know the name of put those up! I'm so proud of my heritage!" Cool mate what you you done with your life though? Your illustrious sun worshiping pagan ancestors probably have so little in common with you today that were you somehow able to visit them they'd kill you outright.

You have a point with regards to the ancient monuments like Stonehenge, the creators of which are unknown as is its purpose. But there are people in the UK who have family histories that go back a thousand-plus years and I suspect that rather than pride, as such, they derive some value in the connection it gives them to the past.

The trouble I see with this hotep stuff is that it is telling black children they belong through some ancestral right rather than being an equal member of society that requires no ancestral ties to treated equally and at the same time accuses the non-black people of being invaders and colonisers in their own country - essentially reducing white people to homeless oppressors who have no right to claim an ancestral home and must always apologise for existing. I shall be keeping my eye out for this book in the schools I visit and will have words with any school librarians if I find it, just as I would if I found other alternative history books like Von Daniken or Graham Hancock.

Mine certainly would hate me. I'm as against the natural order as you can get. I'm severely mentally ill, autistic, a tranny, severe ADHD and anxiety, weak, too squeamish to kill or hurt anything, can't handle much hardship, extremely sensitive, don't want sex, marriage, or kids, am very kinky, don't naturally conform to social expectations; and I'm also a dissident, never satisfied to obey authority and the social structure without question. If I somehow lived long enough I'd inevitably become a religious heretic too. I'd have been beaten out of my mind my whole childhood and eventually executed in some unimaginably gruesome manner. I don't necessarily blame them, they have a natural instinct to keep the gene pool optimal and eliminate failures, and I don't want any more people like me myself (though that wouldn't justify harming me without my permission). They can't help but recognize me as a threat to the species. I just don't know why they always want to horrifically torture the lowly ones. I suppose because torture is also a natural instinct, but they wouldn't get away with doing it to anyone else. And ironically, anyone in the past 2000 years probably would've done it in the name of one who was subject to the same treatment, which they most likely would've participated in had they been there for it.

I know next to nothing about my ancestry, but I do know that some were slave owners, so that's already a bad start. And I know anyone who dare opposed the natural order was killed slowly and painfully, so anyone who'd sympathize with me wouldn't last long.

I normally don't readily believe people on the internet who say they're mentally ill without evidence, since it's very trendy these days. But I'm willing to make an exception in your case. With that in mind, maybe TiA isn't the best place for you.

I think we can agree that what I said is true. Maybe I'm over-magnifying it, but it's at least true to a degree.

How can you be kinky without a sex drive?

I don't know. I am though, ask anyone from chat.
