IDK. Trying to keep up with this thread has been a challenge.Still looks like a stout majority. But what did that have to do with the caravan conversation you guys were having.

I’ll have to remember that next time one of my black friends mentions how his lineage can be traced to someone that came over on a crowded boat to be sold on a slave market.All races have a long and sordid history.
Part of my lineage can be traced to a white guy who came over on a crowded boat to be sold on a slave market. What does that get me?I’ll have to remember that next time one of my black friends mentions how his lineage can be traced to someone that came over on a crowded boat to be sold on a slave market.
The Caribbean or America? A chattel slave or an indentured servant? Because whites, even whites considered ”lesser” like the Irish, never saw the markets in America.Part of my lineage can be traced to a white guy who came over on a crowded boat to be sold on a slave market. What does that get me?
America and not an indentured servant.The Caribbean or America? A chattel slave or an indentured servant? Because whites, even whites considered ”lesser” like the Irish, never saw the markets in America.
A lie, and one bandied about by the far right for quite a while now and easily disproven.America and not an indentured servant.
And I've personally seen some microfilm records that disagree with your assertion.
You probably - like most people - also think all slave-owners in the U.S. - and especially the South - were white. If so, you're wrong about that, as well.
While the history of human slavery in the U.S. - and the entire world, for that matter - is as horrid, disgusting, indefensible, and unjustifiable as anyone might want to paint it, it also wasn't quite as black and white as many want to paint it either.
The simple truth is that all humans regardless of race and gender - throughout history as well as today - have the capacity to commit unspeakable acts of pure evil and - even more frighteningly - potentially also have the capacity to somehow justify those actions in their own minds. We like to pretend that dark side isn't there but we're just lying to ourselves when we do.

The most frightening thing about it - as I alluded earlier - is that he truly believed this evil action was an act of righteousness.By the way, that evil idiot killed 11 people for being jewish today.
ETA: And in part at least for daring to aid immigrants who want to come here.
They're most likely still in my dad's library, unless he donated them. I'll see if I can put my hands on them.A lie, and one bandied about by the far right for quite a while now and easily disproven.
You're welcome to produce these microfilms, but I do not believe you will.
Feel free. I’ll hold my scholarly refutations of the subject of white slavery in the Americas in reserve for the time being until you do. But be warned, among mainstream scholars, this subject has about as much play as the Ancient Aliens hypothesis you’d see on the History Channel.They're most likely still in my dad's library, unless he donated them.

It’s simply not a contentious issue outside of white supremacist/lost cause apologist circles, where it has somehow become a meme, one of hilariously dishonest content and origin.
Donald Trump has suggested that Jewish people might be committing anti-Semitic hate crimes to make himself look bad.
After days in which he refused to comment on a spate of anti-Semitic attacks, Mr Trump broke his silence to repeat an neo-Nazi conspiracy theory that has claimed that the attacks are "false flags". Supporters of that belief – who include leader of the Ku Klux Klan, David Duke – believe that such attacks are being perpetrated by Jewish people in order to undermine the White House.
Pennsylvania's Attorney General, Josh Shapiro, said that he had spoken to the President about a wave of threats to Jewish community centres. And Mr Trump said that they had been designed to make "others look bad".

I would describe myself as a patriot, but would avoid the term nationalist.
Loving your nation is not a crime, but that love should never blind us to its transgressions. We must hold them accountable for their misdeeds.
There are no words that can express how tragic this is.Among the victims, a 97 year old Holocaust survivor.

I have tended to think of Pelosi as an intelligent woman and obviously savvy politician but it comes down to her and Schumer being the public faces of the Democratic party. Schumer is also an intelligent man but I think now that they tend to repel more independent voters than they attract nationwide. The lack of having a strong progressive party in opposition to the extreme right doesn't bode well for Democracy or this Republic. Whatever word we choose to describe it.The lack of introspection here is incredible.
