Get off your arse and get to work.
America is a ladder of opportunity for you to climb. If you are happy hanging on the bottom rung, that's on you.

Ok.
You should work to climb that ladder that is America's greatness.

Sure thing. I don't agree with some of the things you said, but I wasn't questioning the morality, just the comparison to genocide, it was ridiculous.
Actually, slavery was much worse. It took place over hundreds of years, the concentration camps lasted less than 10. Slavery displaced, tortured, ripped families apart, murdered and put in forced labor a far greater number of victims. If one or the other was ever to be repeated, God forbid, hopefully it would be the WWII genocide.

Mortality among Blacks and Whites in the South was generally equal. During some periods in South Carolina White mortality actually exceeded Black mortality. Life sucked back then.
If you want to criticize an archaic and heinous labor system, then my all means, but it in no way equaled the intent of the concentration camps.

Robber barons with their factories up north were no better. It just sucked to be on the wrong end of the ladder those days. Irish and Italian etc immigrants figured out how to climb better and a lot sooner than our brethren that came here against their will. AA's did have a later start, but no excuses in this day and age.
