My family did not get any money except by. working dawn to dusk.

My parents left Germany between World Wars I&II and arrived in the US with what little they could carry. Neither one ever received a college education. They both worked and saved enough to buy a house for themselves and their four children. We were all college educated post high school. In five years I earned two engineering degrees and maintained a 3.48/4.00 GPA, (never less then a B). I payed my own way with student loans which were re-payed in full in two years.

Tell that ignorant professor to stick reparations in her ear. The United States is the land of opportunity and if you get off your dead ass and work hard you can rise as far as your talents will take you.

Regards,
GtG

PS I've been married to the same woman for 40 years, she is also the daughter of an immigrant family.

Good for y’all. My ancestors have been here for hundreds of years. Two came over on the Mayflower and one was Indian so they may have met them. : ) I have a double cousin who does not want to hear anything about our Cherokee heritage. He might as well accept it since it can not be changed. Just like these kooks wanting everything connected to Wilson, our Confederate flag, Stone Mountain, etc removed. That junk only shows how dumb they really are. It does not change a thing.
