[allegorical oracle]

5. Well put. Your thoughtful observation set me ruminating. When I look back on history, it

With that has come war, defeat, and either massacres or enslavement. It finally ends as that minority of survivors becomes a struggling, second-class population.

My grandmother was Lenni Lenape (Delaware) Indian married to a white man. But my dad and his siblings were reared to deny any native blood -- "If you're asked, tell them you're Italian or Greek -- anything but Indian." She knew it was their only chance to achieve a modicum of acceptance in a Christian white nation.
