UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL

WHAT WE HAVE BECOME NOW THAT WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO PROMISED TO BRING US ALL TOGETHER. HE IS DOING THAT BY EQUITY VS EQUALITY!?!????!!!! (See google excerpt below.) Isn’t that exactly opposite of being united? And isn’t the CRT stuff all about how we find/study/examine our differences?

I’m joking us a bit. We now have a climate of such prejudice against those of us from the European nations, we have to go to ancestry to prove we exist in some special way! Shucks, I’m not worth much unless I can find some diversity that counts. I’m a mutt of all breeds – English, Scottish, Irish, Polish, German. Got any crumbs for me.

Do you think I could pull off what Elizabeth Warren did? Google gives her net worth as someplace between 12 and 67 million dollars. And no Indian blood! Now she is saying that the Supreme Court has burned their legitimacy!

The search in the picture is my daughter-in-law helping a niece to find some proof of American Indian roots as my son looks on. I don’t remember the tribe, but if one can just make that connection, maybe he/she can go to a hospital. Just being White European won’t land you any benefits. We just get there by paying our $900 or more per month. We have all the benefits of White Supremacy, you know. It just doesn’t pay!

The search was done mostly for the sake of curiosity and family history, but a deal with a tribe would be a nice side benefit. 😀

Mel did find a (how many times?) great grandmother. Identified for sure, but no numbered card carrier.

About oneta hayes

ABOUT ME Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...

    Thanks for your positive and hilarious outlook on life in this age of weirdness.

      Sort of fun sometimes. At least when you’re a writer; not so much when you’re a bread earner with a family to feed. I am certainly finding out now what it means to be on a fixed income. (That last line will have to start me out on a post for another day.)
