"...a member of a radical civil rights movement and who reportedly thinks the truth behind the Battle of the Alamo is that Texans swiped Mexico’s land."

Yada, yada, yada...and Mexico swiped the land from Spain. And they swiped the land from the Yaqui, who swiped it from the Totonacs. And they swiped it from Aztecs, who swiped it from the Olmecs, who got it after they whupped up on the Maya or whoever. Being on the losing side of history sucks, doesn't it? Cry me a river.

I've always said, how long are people going to cry about past history? Colonialism originates from time immemorial. It's all but dead now, excluding small efforts by various dictators in Africa, Asia, South America.

Being of Scottish heritage, maybe I should put in my request for reparations to England before the Irish do. I'd like to beat the rush. Maybe I should make the same request to Italy (home of the Roman Empire) because of their colonization of Briton. Maybe I can go further back and whine for mo' money.
