When I said my family were planters, I didn't mean they were black. Planter was the class that ran the plantations.everyone's got their opinions, I can respect that! hell my great grand maw, is blacker than most black ppl, and I mean dark! burnt to a crisp lol, but she's actually just creole cajun, she resting now. but back then she never spoke a single word or English, at least not the English we can understand! lol!
I think that's where I get my tan from, most ppl think I'm Mexican, but that's actually the only ethnicity that's not in my blood, I've got so much crap, I'm basically a mut! maybe that makes the difference but I don't think so, and my birth cert, says Caucasian, not mixed with anything else! but it is what it is man!
They started in Virginia around Williamsburg and Spotsylvania in the 1600's, made their way through Tennessee and into Missouri and Arkansas by the time the Civil War broke out. They all fought for the Confederacy.
Lost it all after the war.
