This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well, if they'd actually made clear that they are, you know, ashamed of the family history, that they are lamenting having basically 'fallen' from... that'd be one thing.
But, I really have met people who are unironically this pissy about how their family used to be wealthier, slave owners.
... and that... ... that brings out the fire and brimstone that apparently runs through my blood.
I'd done a massive mapping out of as much of my lineage as I could, maybe a month or so ago.
But I hadn't actually looked too far into much of the details.
So ironically, I guess I have anon to thank for spurring me to look further into that, entirely to be able to make a heritage based rebuttal to slavery, out of spite.
But anyway, no.
No you do not joke about owning people, as a white person in the US.
That is vile, full stop.
