I think that it's great that the white southern senator is excited to meet his African-American cousins. I know when I first met my African-American cousins I was excited, but also a little bit nervous. I thought that they wouldn't like me or i wouldn't be cool enough for them. It's intimidating to meet someone for the first time. I wanted them to like me, and they do like me, but I was really careful about what I said around them. I didn't
want them to think I was racist if I said something wrong. They were cool and by the end of the night we were all cracking jokes about eachother. It didn't matter what race we were by the end of the night, we were family and that's all that we cared about. Families poke fun at eachother all the time and that's what we did. I think that it's cool to have family of a different race. They bring a kind of diversity to the dinner table that people don't normally have. I think that more people should have a mulit-racial family...it's just more fun! I liked the quote from the article, "It's often said that a real Southerner can 'claim kin' with anyone." I think that this is really true. I think that anyone can be part of your family, you just need to learn to accept people. |
