Well, you know 200 years of being brutally whipped or beaten for not doing what some English speaking plantation overseer is telling you to do tends to cause you to pick up the language really quick.

Like I didn't know that. Most kids growing up now didn't go through that (a few gens ago) and I don't see them jumping at the bits to relearn their "old" ancestrial language. Why? Because the past was the past, f*cked as it may have been, and they grew up with this one. No ****, what you mentioned was wrong. I can't help the unfortunate acts of the past, but this is now. I can only concentrate about now. Look, I said I was gon drop this anyways, unless YOU got something else to add.

The point of my comment was to show that African Americans were Forcibly put into a situation where learning english was vital to there survival, so it is not an apt comparison.

And I hate people make comments like you mentioned, also. I'm no conservative by a longshot. I'm against ALL racism (and special treatment), homophobia, religious hypocrisy and mixing with politics, and discrimination in general. If I was something other than American, I wouldn't be getting so much ****. ANY immigrants SHOULD learn, whether they're moving to America or the South of France. We have waaay more than just TWO languages here, also. Why I don't get this.
