HA, You nor I migrated to the USA. I and you are not responsible for nor can we take credit for anything that our past relatives have done. I can only become an immigrant by migrating to another country.

LET ME STATE IN OTHER TERMS....IF YOUR PAST LINEAGE DID NOT ARRIVE HERE...U WOULD NOT BE BORN AND YOUR PRESENT LIFE WOULD BE NON EXISTENT. U MUST SEE PBS...FINDING YOUR ROOT....THE GUEST R EXACTLY LIKE U,NEVER HAD THE ANCESTRY HISTORY TO KNOW WHO THEY REALLY WERE....IT WAS NOT PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION....WHEN ASKED DID THEY KNOW ANY OF THIS...THEY SAY NO, NO ONE TALKED ABOUT IT...I KNEW NONE OF THIS.....THEY HAVE BEEN ASTOUNDED,BLIND SIDED AND SOMETIMES SADDEN OF WHAT INFO WAS REVEALED......U REALLY HAVE TO THINK ABOUT JUST WHERE U CAME FROM AND THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE U....BECAUSE THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE U .....MADE U.
I just disagree. A person becomes who they are no matter if they or their lineage have or haven't migrated from another country. That is why we should not honor or punish a person for things they have not done.
If my lineage did not come to the USA and God still had me born into this world I would still be me, not a past relative of me.
You are also incorrect when you claim I am exactly like others. You have no idea what I know or what I must think about.

Ah yes, the racism card comes out… what a surprise. I despise “artists” who think their celebrity status makes them wise when it comes to politics.
I prefer someone like Jelly Roll who came from nothing, sometime in prison, then worked his butt off to defy the odds. When asked about his political views, he said he’s not informed enough to give an accurate assessment of politics.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
Billie Eilish used her platform to condemn the land white people like her stole from Native Americans. The local tribe has asked her to give up her multiple mansions in the area.
Maybe she shouldn't have spouted off?

I think,there is a misunderstanding of the concept....truly the PBS series is the answer...i might not have utilized the words that resonated with u.
Before 1492, Europe was seeking new trade routes to Asia for valuable spices, silk, and other goods. The overland routes were long, dangerous, and controlled by rival powers. Inspired by the potential of oceanic exploration, Christopher Columbus proposed a bold idea: to reach Asia by sailing west.
After years of lobbying various European courts, Columbus finally gained support from King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. On August 3, 1492, he set out with three ships—the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María.
THE MAYFLOWER BROUGHT THE PEOPLE TO WHAT IS NOW AMERICA,THEY WERE NOT BORN HERE....SO IT FOLLOWS THAT THEY WERE NEW IMMIGRANTS..THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE WERE ALREADY HERE. TAKING A STEP FORWARD,THE POTATO FAMINE FORCED THE IRISH TO MOVE AND THE RISE OF HITLER FORCED MANY IMMIGRANTS TO HEAD TO THE STATUE OF LIBERTY. 1700'S 1800'S FOUND MANY NEW PEOPLE ON AMERICA'S SOIL,THEY HAD CHILDREN AND THOSE CHILDREN BECAME ADULTS AND HAD CHILDREN AND SO ON AND SO ON.... .THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED LINEAGE.
iF U WANT TO ENGAGE IN A CONVERSATION ABOUT REINCARNATION,THAT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT TOPIC.
ONE OF THE VERY INTERESTING THINGS THAT WAS DISCOVERED....A GUEST BY THE NAME OF CINDY CRAWFORD WAS ON FINDING YOUR ROOTS...THEY TRACED BACK HER ANCESTRY,IT WAS LONG AND EXTENSIVE...THE VERY TOP OF "THE TREE OF LIFE"LEAD TO KING CHARLEMANE.....SHE IS A DESCENDANT OF A KING. just wow....
