Is your skin colour important to you ?

[MarathonMike]

Skin color means nothing to me. What does matter is when people, either individuals or groups, use Race as a tool to get something.

From what I have witnessed in life, being blue or gray is not a good thing.

Yeah, the Civil War was hell.

You know. despite contrary beliefs, the Civil War was not fought to free the slaves. In fact, most northerners could have cared less about that part of it. While many considered slavery reprehensible, which it is, the war was fought to preserve the union.

True. But at least once a week some wingnut in this forum swears that "hundreds of thousands of Civil War soldiers "gave their lives to free the slaves". SMGDH.
