didn't see that one coming...

I find it heartening that more Americans of African-Scottish descent have begun to recognize their Scottsh heritage. It's a positive sign, I think.

Well, it certainly was a first for me to have someone acknowledge their African-Scottish heritage - hopefully, it won't be the last. I also hope I can talk some more to this guy, again.

Cool article about General Powell, Scott. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Scott,

I enjoyed the article. Thanks for posting.

I love it when people are able to look to what they share rather than what divides them. Thanks for sharing the story. We need more common bonds in this world.

Cheers

I think I posted this before...
But when I was in Hawaii working a few years ago...I went to a Half-Way to St. Patrick's Day festival in Honolulu....
I had been to the Pubs on the island, but never really thought much of the Celtic background of the people and native Hawaiians.

So I found myself with a 600 people dancing to a Scottish Band (Old Blind Dog) and chating with the locals about how there Grandfathers were all Scotish, Irish, English and Welsh Sailors who help settle the islands and help with the kingdom.

Nothing better than Native Hawaiians wearing their Kilts Proudly.

ps. Great Pipe Band too!
