My husband was telling me last night about slavs from the former ussr countries are now poc.

Wow what a bizarre group. Obviously the framing of themselves as POC is cynical because you can't get funding or any support if you're just a group of Whites advocating on your own behalf but still it's very strange.

Not necessarily cynical, a lot of the issues whites get blamed for like slavery and racism don't apply to us. I mean, we were slaves not slave owners. If you ever watched All in the Family, you can see it wasn't long ago we weren't considered the right kind of white people.

Well I'd think twice about getting my historical information from a show designed by a jew intended to lampoon a caricature of a white racist but to the point of course it's cynical and opportunistic. You cite the Slavic experience with slavery which is undeniable but what percentage of Americans has even one ancestor who owned slaves? 1 percent? Less? What percentage of whites in America are descended from indentured servants?

Hell there's a lot of money in the racial grievance racket so fair play to the crafty Slavs -- hate the game not the player. But it's still slimy and dishonest.

I think letting one group of white folk off the racial grievance train will be beneficial to everyone. Acknowledging we're not all responsible is a step in the right direction.

Now pay me reparations ;)

Yeahh. The Coalition overall represents several races, but that's not exactly going to make anyone take slavs being represented there as poc seriously at all. It's still a little funny though.

It's my ancestry. I'm going to have to start beginning my comments with "as a person of color."
