I take pride in being white.

As a race we have accomplished so much in world history and have led a majority of the world’s greatest and most technologically advanced civilizations and we continue to do so into the present day in many places.

Including my own iredeemingly racist country which has millions of brown people flocking to it every year in search of a better life.

I don’t identify so much as being “irish” or “italian” or anything like that because the truth is as Americans we’ve mostly lost our ethnic identities due to gentrification and thereby mostly identify within our respective racial category.

So while I have descended from numerous different cultures across Europe I mainly identify as being white since I haven’t really preserved any of the customs or traditions unique to a single culture in Europe.

And I don’t believe other races are inferior by mere nature of their biology, as the Bible does state that God created all races equally, but only that not all races and cultures of people developed equally over time.

So much so to the point where it wasn’t uncommon for different cultures across Europe to see eachother as inferior/superior such as with the British when they controlled Ireland.

The British saw the Irish no differently than they saw enslaved Africans.

The only difference was that the British deemed the Irish as unfit for the work of African slaves.

And so when my ancestors first immigrated to America, they faced much of the same discrimination that African Americans similarly faced at the time, since they were also considered ethnic minorities within their existing white communties.

So while I do not condone the mistreatment of any race or culture of people,

I feel as though it is intellectually dishonest if we insist all people on Earth are equal, since different societies developed in different ways, allowing some to exert their power over others through the form of Imperialism.

There's a story idea I had, where my character was a magical entity, who travels to a different city in North America every month, finding good, caring, wholesome, but unhappy people. 90-99% of the people in any given city are not good, wholesome, or caring, let alone all of those things but down on their luck or unhappy, so finding them is hard. Whoever I could strike up a conversation with, and discover that the pass the "good person" trials through conversation, my character would grant their one greatest wish, as long as it was limited to themselves or close family members or friends (no wishing for world peace or for dinosaurs to come back or anything).

The first guy, was small and sickly, like pre-serum Steve Rogers. He had sickle cell anemia or something. After discovering he was a truly good and humble man through conversation in a bar, my character initiated the final test and asked him for $20. He gave it to me, so the next day, he woke up with perfect health, as well as a body better-than-new. He was now fully healed and his mother no longer had to pay for his medical bills.

The second person, was a short pale blonde woman who was kind to others, but hated herself and her looks severely. She was more pragmatic and jaded in life than the first man, but she was still a good person; her self-hatred just kept her kind side a little supressed. After talking to her, my character asked her for $20, which she eventually gave a "what the hell" agreement to. The next day, she woke up 5'11" with 34DD's, a gorgeous clear-skinned face, and a perfect gym body, like a supermodel or Olympic athlete. She looked in the mirror and started crying with joy.

My character then continues the search for a new deserving person to grant another wish to. If the person is bad or undeserving, it can cause unforeseen chaos and trouble to the local world around them. So they have to be good, deserving people to mitigate any negative consequences to happen.

Indigenous Peoples Day

A holiday that celebrates and honors Native American peoples and commemorates their histories and cultures. On October 8th, 2021 President Joe Biden signed a presidential proclamation declaring October 11th to be a national holiday. It is celebrated across the United States on the second Monday in October, and is an official city and state holiday in various localities. It began as a counter-celebration held on the same day as the U. S. federal holiday of Columbus Day, which honors Italian explorer Christopher Columbus.

President Donald Trump disavowed Indigenous Peoples Day during a campaign rally in Muskegon, Michigan, on October 17, 2020.

"And he wants to change the name of Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day, who likes that idea? Who likes it?" Trump said as the crowd could be heard booing.

"What the heck are you saying? That's politically incorrect," Trump said during the rally, held on Odawa, Ojibwe and Potatawomi territory in Muskegon, whose name comes from the Odawa, or Ottawa, language.

"So he wants to change it to Indigenous Peoples Day. Not as long as I’m president, let me just tell you that, okay?" Trump said.
