What are we supposed to do .... apologize for existing and crawl back to rat-infested slums of London and Paris?
Don’t know how you get that from my comment.
I was merely pointing out that the early colonists and the Founders were not conciously putting together a multi-cultural society. They assumed Americans of the future would be ethnically much like Americans of their present.
In fact, the general opinion was that diverse races could not live together for long in conditions of freedom and harmony. That, for instance, freeing the slaves would eventually result in a race war that would exterminate blacks in America.
The default assumption of today’s society is that such co-existence is indeed possible and inevitable.
We’re still in the process of finding out who was right. I certainly hope today’s attitudes are, but those old white guys were pretty sharp.
We’re supposed to feel guilty, and look the other way while they spew racism at us. I say F them.
