If the nut jobs get their way, we won't have public free education without a slant, we'll get religious, bigoted and life on this planet is only 10,000 years old type of education. There's a reason the nut jobs want us regular people to be stupid ... so they can pillage and rape us, literally and figuratively.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804061199499531440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12467883.post-82390555627244636852012-05-27T13:22:23.008-07:002012-05-27T13:22:23.008-07:00Being originally from upper East Tennessee, I have...Being originally from upper East Tennessee, I have known and come into contact with several people who claimed Melungeon heritage. To a one, they claimed to be of Portuguese descent ("Porty-gee", as some would pronounce it). My paternal family has some Melungeon lineage. I find it a bit humorous that this has been established and that many of them are disputing the finding. After all, the reason that many of them originally claimed to be Portuguese was to escape the laws of the past that heavily discriminated against people with mixed heritage. I wonder if they think less of themselves now, or if they realize that it makes them even more remarkable, and embrace it.Arnonoreply@blogger.com
