My family's right wing, but apolitical until a few years back
I was born in 1994, and I share quite a few traits with Gen Z
people born in 1982 are quite different
btw how old is everyone here?
I'm 23
20
My Dad was raised in Cleveland’s Little Italy District by my Italian Grandmother and My Danish Grandfather (who I never met)
a Danish grandfather? Interesting. I know the midwest has quite a few Scandinavian descendants
He was from Grand Rapids, Michigan
I've been talking a lot with my family as of late
My Grandmother was the Daughter of Sicilian immigrants
But they just need to wipe most of the English material off of the fucking map
Complete garbage
@FLanon do you remember what you were forced to read in high school?
Grammar is really where they should stop for the most part, let the people think for themselves later
Elie Wiesel, Night
MLK stuff
my selection in English class wasn't that bad...
I think my mother is English, because she said her side of the family’s ancestors were some of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower
Shakespeare's alright
(Night)
they just fucking drown you in the holocaust
I never read Night
basically jooboi goes to auschwitz, papa dies, he gets sad end of story
All I remember was in the 5th Grade I red Hatchet, the 9th Grade we red October Sky, and this year I’m reading the Count of Monte Cristo
Then again, in the 8th grade we Red the Boy in the Striped Pajamas
haha I remember reading Hatchet in the 5th grade
wow actual literature
@FLanon are you in college
when I went to elementary school in Orlando, Florida
social studies was entirely civil rights movement / MLK worship
entirely
literally no room for anything else
I was high GPA so it seems like that's the next step
My Parents were on their Honeymoon in Italy when 9/11 happened.
the elementary school I 'graduated' from was like 80% black though
not sure though, just placing my money into investments and hoping for the best
investments?
so you're not in college (that's smart)
cryptos are hot atm
