You should know that the ancestors of NS arrived in this country early in the 20th century from Eastern Europe.
Thanks, I kind of suspected that. Funny how “we” are all Americans as soon as we step off the boat. NS seems to be unaware that my family and many like mine created this America he is so fond of trashing. I doubt seriously any of his kinfolk were at Yorktown keeping the prolitariate down. If it weren’t for my slave holding ancestors who formed the country, wrote the Constitution and allowed immigrants to follow, we would have certainly won the war. NS seems to forget that the average union soldier was an immigrant unable to buy his way out of the draft. I guess that doesn’t legally qualify as slavery in his eyes. Interesting point, a male slave in his 20s was worth more than a union soldier. Too bad Ireland could not feed their own, the South paid dearly for their failure, even after sending famine relief to them. Send us your poor and huddled masses and we will arm them and send them to south to kill Americans. Great recruiting poster.
All he knows about American history is what he learned at the knee of other red diapers in the halls of modern, pop culture, academia.
I assume you meant "proletariat." Too bad that's not the word that fits into that sentence.
But what do I know, my family has only been here 100 years.
