What a bunch of nonsense. Why should they even consider "leaving?"

I'm no fan of Islam and I won't defend it, but I do recommend you educate yourself a bit more on the religion, and what they do and don't do.

As much as I would like to continue I do need to get to bed and get some sleep. With that said why is always up to us to learn more about Islam? Maybe Islam could also talk to us, learn about our religions, not condemn our religions and maybe have more understanding on why so many Americans are justifiably not big fans of Islam?

Because we're the ones bitching about it. I've made it very clear that I don't particularly care about most other countries.

the vast majority of priests and almost all regular Catholics did not know what was going on and were even more horrified than the regular public.
Not more horrified than the young children other priests were preying upon for their sexual gratification.

I'm not taking up for any religion, what I've said is your point blank Muslim == bad, Christian == good, but we frick up at times, is bullshite.

I know people personally of all religions and my USA protects their rights to practice their religion. And all are good ppl to my knowledge. I don't condemn all individual Catholics because their Church purposely allowed their trusted spokesmen to rape children. Just like I won't condemn all individual Muslims because Jihadists want to blow shite up.

Wait a second. Some of these countries you listed are majority white countries already. In fact, Argentina is whiter now than America was even when it was great. Hell its more European than many European countries are now.


Not really true. Argentinians are a mixed lot, far more mixed than white Americans are (on average). For instance, [link=(one genetic study)]https://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2008/03/genetics-the-myth-buster-the-case-of-argentina/#.WJWBrfkrKUk[/link] of Argentina was done a few years ago where they found that most Argentinians who identified as "white" had, on average, 20% American Indian heritage and about 2% African slave heritage. Moreover, they found that the Amerind heritage was mostly on the female side, which complies with the notion that colonial men married native wives. However, their sample was rather small (94 participants I think). I would like to see a larger sample, but I think the results are still relevant nonetheless.

In America, 23andme did a study on racial admixture using a pool of like 150,000 people in their database. They took every sample from people that self-identified as "white" and ran admixture tests. They concluded that American Indian heritage in Whites was extremely low (something like 2% of whites have Indian heritage) and black ancestry was almost unheard of outside the South. However, in the South, about 12% of white people in Louisiana have black ancestry. 12% in South Carolina. And about 10% in the rest of the former slave states (SEC country, basically). Now out of this 10%, the black heritage was only about 2-3% on average (in other words 10% of whites in the south have 2-3% black heritage). Small, but still there.

But more interesting to me was they found very little American Indian ancestry in whites. This flies in the face of the "Indian princess" stories that almost all of us white people have in our family folklore. Turns out, most of those stories are complete BS (as many people find out when they research their family tree).

You native american or did your family immigrate?

See, this is the shite schools teach in history class

Up until 1776 we were British citizens. We didn't immigrate from anywhere. When the country became independent, guess what? The people living here didn't immigrate. They were natural born Americans

From 1930 to 1965 there was virtually no immigration to the US
quote:

In the early years of the United States, immigration was fewer than 8,000 people a year, including French refugees from the slave revolt in Haiti. After 1820, immigration gradually increased. By 1910, 13.5 million immigrants were living in the United States. From 1836 to 1914, 30 million had migrated to the United States. In the early 1930s, more people emigrated from the United States than to it.


The US population was 93M in 1910, of which 13.5M were foreign born, which is 14%. With the Louisiana purchase, Texas independence, and Compromise of 1850, etc. those residents didn't 'immigrate' to America. They became natural born citizens instantly

The overwhelming number of Americans are not immigrants. Blacks were captives, Indians are 'native', and most whites have at least one lineage that can be traced back to natural born ancestors

Case in point, when Hawaii became a state in 1959, all residents could request new birth certificates, designating them as natural born, despite their ancestry.

So the BS of "we are a nation of immigrants" applies just as much to any nation as it does to the US. Because we all came from somewhere

But the reality is, since the US has been established. 85+% of Americans were born in an area that eventually became a state, or were brought here as property of a native born American

Immigration has been VERY limited. Until recently

Guys, you are tap dancing around the true issue here. The new Gold Standard for true Snowflakes is OPEN BORDERS. Libs hide their true feelings by discussing "we are all immigrants" hogwash. It's a fact that true Libs believe that everyone from everywhere have a right to enter and live in our country. It's funny, they hate our immigration laws but they never try to change them one bit. I wonder why?

So, are you saying all Muslims are terrorists? Kind of broad, don't you think.

No, we won the democracy lottery.

Frick everyone who allowed Theocracies, monarchies, communism, socialism, anarchy to frick up their places of birth

Just because we sacrificed to get it right, doesn't mean they get a free ride on the train. It just means we are now taking in people who don't want to build America, theyre coming here to suckle its teat. And eventually we will become the country they left

Yes

They can emulate us from afar and build their own great country. And then their descendants can win a birth lottery. Don't come and try to steal ours.
