They obviously don't care about this country, so not on my soil

They should be yelling at the Brits, anyway. They're the ones that brought them here in the first place.

Think they remember THAT little piece of history?

Actually, they should be yelling at their African forebears, who sold them to the slavers.

They should also be yelling at their relatives in Africa - those are the ones who captured and enslaved them and sold them to the Arab slave traders for guns and rum.

Then they can yell at the Arab slave traders for selling them to the British.

These people need to study some history - especially about the whites who were grabbed off the ships and sold into slavery. It happened and it happened to many.

Because of the races intermingling, by the early 1800s many slaves had light skin, blond hair and blue eyes. The slave dealers were no dummies - they started grabbing young whites and selling them as slaves. There was a famous case about a young German girl whose parents died on the trip over. She was grabbed off the docks when the ship landed in Baltimore and was sold as a slave. It took her family in German 20 years to find her, she was working on a plantation in Louisiana.

She certainly wasn't the only case.

People also ignore the fact that many blacks were also slave owners.

Just who is going to figure out who owes reparations to who?

AND the Dutch. AND the French. AND the black tribal chiefs in Africa who sold them to the "evil white patriarchal colonialists" in the first place.

It just goes to show the absurdity of maintaining quarrels from centuries ago. If everyone did that, the oceans would be awash with blood.
