Also boilermakers are the most blue-collar drink in existence.

FourLeaf posted:More importantly, you are completely ignoring the fact that anti-black antipathy is often displayed not only by white people, but also by non-black people of color, including Hispanics, Latinos, and Asians among others. Race in America is arguably a hierarchy with blacks on the bottom, whites at the top (yes, including White Latinos as well as Irish- and Italian-Americans!), and other races in between. Therefore even a Latino person like George Zimmerman, even if he were not "white," could still stalk and murder Trayvon Martin based off of negative stereotypes of Black people as criminals.

The discussion two pages back reminded me that my grandmother, who is still alive, had a grandfather who served in the Army of Northern Virginia the entire war. How many grandchildren of Civil War vets are still around?

Nybble posted:How old is she, and how old were her father and grandfather when the respective child was born? I ask because I was in Antienam for Memorial Day, and the tour guide at the Field Medical Hospital said his grandfather served in one of the Pennsylvania regiments. I was trying to figure out how it would be possible, except for exceptionally long generations, or he meant his great-grandfather.
