This is probably the first example I can pull up to many of my conservative friends and family on why black people still have hurts from the past. I used to agree with conservatives on a lot because I've seen black people who only talk about stuff like this and then blame modern white people for it. Without some major digging, these things are never going to be recovered, which makes me a little sad and a little angry. My ancestors were Irish-Native American, German-Jew. And we still had documentation going further back. I can only imagine how frustrating this must be to someone trying to find their roots. Trying to find one's self before the winds of time blow it away. You gotta look inward first and then outward. Find the beginning of yourself and then by extension, you'll be surprised how much is connected to who you are in the center.
