Have you ever noticed, people are just not happy unless they are making someone else miserable?
Why do we have to go thru life hiding who we are to appease everyone else?
I was recently left a message saying, that I should not have "Proud to Be Cherokee", because I am not full blooded Cherokee! Why shouldn't I?
Should we not be proud of who we are?
I am very proud of who I am, and who my ancestors are.
So for this rude person, (and I know they will be looking!) For your information, am a third Cherokee, a third German and the rest is Dutch and Irish. I really don't find this to be anybody business, but I felt compelled to set this person stright.
I can prove the Cherokee and the German. I have traced my family on the Cherokee (which is on 2 sides of my family) to have walked the Trail of Tears, from North Caorlina and Georgia. From the way the family stories go, my family was beaten, brought into slavery and the women raped on their way to Arkansas and Oklahoma. Where they settled to live life stuck where the goverment put them. They were forced to live on reservations, after having everything taken from them.
SO YEAH I'M PROUD TO BE CHEROKEE!!!!!!!!!!!
For this person, if YOU don't like it, then stay away from my page.
And I want to say THANK YOU to all that have been so kind me.
Everyone should be proud of who they are, regardless of what thier hertiage is and where they come from.
Thank you for letting me ramble on, I just cannot stand somebody that is so afraid to say who they really are, and they have to bash all of us that are Proud of who we are.
PROUD TO BE CHEROKEE, AND ALWAYS WILL BE!
No one will EVER break my spirit!
(btw, you will be blocked as soon as I know you have seen this!)
