Let’s see. Would I want to hire one of the Colored men, the German, or the Jap in the 1890s? Wonder if the German guy with restaurant experience was named Friedrich Trump?
The Armenia Genocide continued into the 1920s. That’s the type of animals the Mohammedans are. Now that they have killed most of the Armenians or made them flee to other countries, they want to take over those other countries to kill everyone in those countries. We are at the top of the list of the countries the Mohammedans want to slay.
My great-grandmother, having gotten my grandfather out of Armenia earlier, and many in my family, were slaughtered during that genocide. My granddad, and subsequently all of us, thought that he was the lone survivor. They made 8 of us in the world.
Then in the early 90s, my brother turned up more of my family, most living on the west coast. They thought granddad had died out. There still aren’t many with our surname, but significantly more than just 8.
