Hi Marcos
Boy are you going in the wrong direction with this....Don't take anything I say as being condescending, mean or hurtful...I spend a lot of time educating people and where I see a NEED... I step in.
I am going to respond to your response from the bottom up.
Once again your parents are caucasians...your father speaks Spanish and your mother speaks English. Your father's nationality is Spaniard and your mother's is British.
Your sister did not marry a GYPSI...gypsi is actually a DEROGATORY term used to describe people who migrated into Europe from Egypt and/or India. The derogatory-ness came about because these 'gypsies' had the dark skin of Africans (Egypt) or Indians (India). Even the term gypsi is a play on Egypt were most of the people so designated came from. Have you ever asked you brother in law where his lineage is from exactly, so you can know racially what he is? Gypsies are always seen as low, thieves, living like homeless people, swindlers etc etc...not a good thing to be known as.
You said..."From my words it looks like i have a problem with history and the things that happen"...No Marcos I have no problem with history nor what happened. My problems (if it is to be called one) is when I find people who lack historical knowledge and intelligence especially in this age of internet, libraries ad so much information availability. Like the old saying.."Those who don't know history are bound to repeat it"...that is a warning to those who shrug off the events that have occurred and wish to forget it or pretend it doesn't matter and in doing so set themselves up to have the same events occur to them again. Not only is it important to know history, but just as I have made it a point to try and educate you and other GBs on race and nationality designation as well as history in regards to which races have done what, where and when, so that you can understand the contributions of people, have respect for races/people and be knowledgable on historical facts. My response in this thread came about from another poster referring to you as a spanne and in his mind your 'short comings' because of that. My response educated him that you are of the same caucasian line as he with the only difference being the nationality...he being american and you being Spaniard, both being caucasian.
You Said "i cant change history nobody can and i cant change what people did years ago"... I never brought up the idea of anyone changing history, nor is this a discussion on changing history, slavery, racism or any of that. It is an EDUCATION for the poster of the comment that you were a spanne and an education to those who inject disrespectful race related remarks into threads; you for whatever reason injected the RACE/RACISM comment which brought about my response that if historical fact is RACISM then yes I am racist. History can be changed through education...the REAL racist remarks you see all over this board come from a continuation of a history of DISRESPECT by whites because they sees themselves as superior to others and because of the FEAR they have of the same people. So ignorant is their knowledge, history and facts that they see white Europeans as some other lesser race of people and not as the same lineage from which they come. Through education there is an ERASING of a history of feeling superior and fear from the mind of people and in the process the elimination of remarks, actions and behaviors like we have on this board.
While it is nice to live peaceful, happy, fun life, IT IS A FOOLS MIND THAT DOES THIS IGNORING ALL ELSE...Wisdom, Knowledge and intelligence has to come before all else.
