Anita, As I have stated to one of the list members, when I look in the mirror I wonder which ancestor(s) I resemble. Who am I most like personality wise, etc. With mixed ancestry a person should find it difficult to choose a favorite or to be angry with one because of circumstances you do not understand or have incomplete information about. After doing DNA testing and finally being able to connect to a tribe in Africa, I realized that my ancestors participated in slave trading and continue today with enslaving their young women for religious purposes. These are some of the reasons I have not participated in some of the discussions about slavery. How can I condemn one and defend the other based on race? Linda
