"Of course the way the slaves were treated was disgusting but these people have made a business of using history to get money for themselves rather than just getting busy like everyone else who decided to not be a victim."

I wouldn't mind so much if it was REAL history...for openers, the GD slave trade started before America was America and was entrenched before the revolution...let em go after the freaking Brits...and if there were as many millions of slaves brought here by ship as they contend (at an average of a couple hundred per ship) the boasts would still be landing...and it ain't like it was a cake walk for the Irish, either...that line from Blazing Saddles was no joke..."but we won't take the Irish" was no shite...but I don't know any "Irish Americans" looking for a handout.

There is no place for the hyphen in our citizenship... We are a nation, not a hodge-podge of foreign nationalities. We are a people, and not a polyglot boarding house. - "The Square Deal"

As a Polish and Italian American, I believe that I, along with other Slavic, Med, and Latin Americans should sue the Irish Americans for treating us like sh-t and discriminating against us in jobs and housing. It wasn't the WASPs who were the elite in urban American when my ancestors came here. ;)

We had reparations, it was called the Civil War and the 1965 Civil Rights Act. Those who whine about reparations should realize that as they do so, East Asians, Indians, Latinos, and Middle Easterners are passing them over just as prior waves of Euros did.

It’s funny, but the race pimps only bitch about the 400,000 Africans who were brought to North America, and they wax indignant about that; yet, they are strangely silent about the millions who were brought to South America (especially Brazil). The slave trade to North America was a drop in the bucket when compared to the slave trade to the Caribbean and to South America.
