Blog #14- Cultural Baggage

Most people think that culture is a good thing, it helps know where you come from, what your ancestors have done, and who you real family is. The truth is that no one really knows their culture. For all we know African Americans were powerful and they overturned people like Christopher Columbus. For all we know the pilgrims fought back and "Thanksgiving" never happened.They were probably killed by diseases or something and the ones that were left were the ones who the great stories are about and they decided to look strong and change the story around. No one really knows their culture unless you were there. The author in this story explains about how culture shouldn't make you who you are, you should know right from wrong and you shouldn't depend on others telling you "well this was done in our past, blah, blah, blah". I think everyone should stop depending on culture and make up their own.
