I had a really cool epiphany the other day. See, I know a good deal about my family ancestry, but haven't given it much thought. On my mother's side, I have Jewish ancestry (my great grandmother was Jewish), and on my father's side, I have Arab ancestry (great grandmother as well). But I never looked any closer.
So, it was kind of amusing when I was reading through the encyclopedia the other day (yes, I do that from time to time). I came across the Berbers, which is where my Arabic ancestry originates, and found that, in fact, the Berbers originated in North Africa.
Which makes me 1/8 African American, if you want to think about it. More so than some of these bozos pressing for reparations. Call up Sharpton and have him send me the paperwork. I'm fixin' to get my 40 acres and a mule!
