I'm also a mutt... I have American Indian, Irish, Scots, English, French, and black in my background. The one thing that stands out about me is my jet black hair against a lily white skin that burns at the first kiss of the sun... Thanks to my Irish background. (At least it used to, before so much of it turned silver). But I'd very much like to state categorically that I stand with these women and would be humbled to call them "sister" if they'd allow it. Much better than the overblown stupid hype I've been hearing lately.
