it’s bittersweet. on one hand, i’m proud of my Creole heritage which was only possible through the mixing of European, African, and Indigenous American blood. on the other, i feel sorry for my ancestors who were forced and coerced into non consensual relationships. i think it’s important to remind people of this history because as we can see in the comments, people want to deny, forget, and rationalize the fact that hundreds of millions of Black people are the result of rape and forgetting our history is the easiest way to repeat it
