Yes, but they did have to sober up before anyone could understand them. Incidentally, the Irish as a group were one of the ethnic groups with the slowest economic rise in the U.S. because so many of them chose to rely on government apparatus to attain societal position.

You are wrong. Irish immigration

The Irish in America: Long Journey Home

You sober up you racist bastard.

Blacks were one of the fastest rising ethnic groups, until the 1960s, after which their ascent slowed dramatically. Again, due to dependence on government.

Fasting rising beginning when? Since they emerged from slavery? What killed black prosperity was the breakdown of the family and the Immigration Act of 1965.

Geez, lighten up! Does one have to use < / sarc > or ;-} with all comments because people cannot contextualize properly?

Actually, black prosperity in the South took a nosedive from Reconstruction almost until WWII. It was impeded during Reconstruction and later by racist Southern Democrats. The big increase in black prosperity was between WWII and the 1960's War on Poverty/Great Society programs. The breakdown of the black family was due to federal government policies largely enacted during the 60's and following, largely by racist Democrats. The Immigration Act of 1965 is fairly irrelevant since the number of immigrants entering as result was a much smaller percentage of the American population than the number of immigrants coming during the 19th century.
