Change Is Hard So Let's Just Give Up: An American Tale

Like do we really have homies trying to argue that tribalism and racism by extension is justified? Does that extend to rape? How about genocide? What I'm saying is that you're basically Hitler.

Yeah yeah andI understand all that, all I'm saying is every successful society in the past has crumbled once it moved away from a homogenous people. America included as you're seeing now.

Damn bro, I'm genuinely a bit disgusted. I'll leave you to that opinion then, have a good day.

I guess we'll just let him forget about mass immigration during the Industrial Revolution didn't destroy America.

Much more limited than the immigration seen today with way more structure. Now immigration is fine in a very limited form but to bring people in en masse replaces the original people of the country I don't see how this is helpful.

That was one of jwb's many aliases. Remember him?
I'd be surprised if Batty owned a hat. And if he does it's probably some collector's item, like maybe Tony Stark's hat, and in the original wrapping.
What you got against homos, huh?

Kinda tough to believe considering you think my use of the term 'ignorant black folk' to specifically refer to ignorant people who are black (since we are talking about race) is racist.

For being such a pedant, I'm surprised you would prefer such an inaccurate descriptor as 'African American' or 'Asian American'. Unless of course the multitude, I'm sorry, literally all of your friends were born overseas and maintain dual citizenship. But then shouldn't you really be making sure everyone knows exactly where they came from? Laotian-American, Senegalese-American, Mongolian-American, etc.

Now perhaps you bring this up because you've had long conversations with all of your socially conscious minority friends and my use of the phrase 'ignorant black folk', again, specifically to describe radicals who buy-in to 'blood reparations' and separatist movements, is just an unconscionable slight on the sacrifices made by them and their ancestors.

Or you could just be derailing an otherwise thoughtful conversation because you have nothing of worth to contribute to political topics, again.

I just can't decide. Maybe Gavin McMRA has an 80 minute video you could link to?

^ I have to flat-out disagree with this, Machine. What history books have you been reading ?!

Ever since man started trading with the next village down the road, there has been one consistent trend for civilization: absorb and grow, absorb and grow. Look at any country from Latin America to North America, from Europe to Russia and you'll see the same thing; racial groups that've blended to their mutual benefit.

Anyone who thinks that the US's problems stem from immigration is too far down the rabbit hole to be reasoned with.
