She's been dead 31 years mate, im told she very much agreed because division only causes problems. She came to peace with it since it gave her kids a better life then growing up with absolutely nothing.
She however never landed on forgiving her father (an English import police officer who rapped her mother)
My grandmother even went on to marry an English WW2 Navy Veteran having my father and 12 other kids.
My father then married a first generation Australian whos parents immigrated to Australia after WW2.
I have cousins who are so dark since there only one English person in their ancestory.
Also for white privilege my mother moved into a community with my father when I was a kid so I grew up in an Aboriginal community so instead of white privilege I got abused and ostracised for being so much whiter then the other kids around me.
I was moved away from both my parents when I was 14 since I didn't go to school and that was the best thing that happened to me. Forced an education and took me away from a place with no real future.
Still I stand by what I say, if you spend all day looking back you can't move forward.
