Early 1070's family reunion at the edge of my memories. Drinking, lots of beer. a staggering asshole comes up to me. A look of mean victory on his face. A signal of I win you are a piece of shit on his drunk mean face. He grins a mean self-absorbed grin and intones in victory. "Did you know your ancestors where black!". This is an apparent falsehood, my ancestry as later learned is mostly European with a little sprinkle of Cherokee. But I was raised on liberal ass PBS. They teach that non-whites are equals. Plus so many awesome black actors comedians and actors. I reacted with pride. "Hooray!".My obscure relative, all drunken and lumpy and a symbol of what I don't dig, looked damaged, lost for words to say. Without further words, he mingled with other relatives. I felt I somehow won a moral victory, but I didn't understand why.
