The Irish

The Italians

When they first came in waves to the USA they were treated like trash remember

Then enough intermarriage took place resulting in them being considered just regular American white

Because you can no longer detect as easily that someone is Irish or Italian doesn’t mean the are not Irish enough or Italian enough to claim their own family linage

Agreed on the treatment of Micks and Dagos. It's because the fucking Limeys are racist assholes.

Tracing one's family history is one thing. You're trying to trace racial lineage and, as geneticists have proved, that's not scientifically valid.

‘Race’ cannot be biologically defined due to genetic variation among human individuals and populations. (A) The old concept of the “five races:” African, Asian, European, Native American, and Oceanian. According to this view, variation between the races is large, and thus, the each race is a separate category. Additionally, individual races are thought to have a relatively uniform genetic identity. (B) Actual genetic variation in humans. Human populations do roughly cluster into geographical regions. However, variation between different regions is small, thus blurring the lines between populations. Furthermore, variation within a single region is large, and there is no uniform identity.....


..... Case study of genetic variation between three scientists. Left: Schematization of the genetic variation between Drs. James Watson, Craig Venter, and Kim Seong-jin. Colored bars represent genes; different colors represent different alleles, i.e. versions of genes. Some alleles are shared by all three of the men (represented by the dark brown allele that is shared by every person in this image). Besides the universal dark brown allele, Watson and Venter share one other allele (bright blue). However, both share two alleles with Kim (Watson shares red and orange with Kim, Venter shares green and magenta), in addition to the universal allele. Right: There is more similarity between the Kim and Watson and Kim and Venter, than there is between Watson and Venter...

...In the biological and social sciences, the consensus is clear: race is a social construct, not a biological attribute. Today, scientists prefer to use the term “ancestry” to describe human diversity (Figure 3). “Ancestry” reflects the fact that human variations do have a connection to the geographical origins of our ancestors—with enough information about a person’s DNA, scientists can make a reasonable guess about their ancestry. However, unlike the term “race,” it focuses on understanding how a person’s history unfolded, not how they fit into one category and not another. In a clinical setting, for instance, scientists would say that diseases such as sickle-cell anemia and cystic fibrosis are common in those of “sub-Saharan African” or “Northern European” descent, respectively, rather than in those who are “black” or “white”.

He was born black


WTF



He walks the earth as a black man every second of his life


This is insane to claim someone is not BLACK ENOUGH



PLEASE FUCKING STOP THIS STUPID EVIL LINE OF CRAP
He enjoyed a life of privilege. White privilege. Then he decided that he was black, but not enough to vote, or encourage actual black people to vote.

He's a moron
 
Besides a dire need for Tax Reform in the US, enforcement is spotty. I have no problem with the IRS enforcing the tax code for all organizations, churches included.

That is actually where the Separation comes in, sorry, if you want separation you can't have it both ways! Churches are non profits
 
But you can't utter one reasonable refutation of it. You're a fucking dunce.

You idiots use right wing propaganda


We use facts and real news


You asshole just label all not right wing leading news as liberal news


Propaganda is propaganda


News is news
 
ridiculous poll

professional athletes don't take a knee or turn their backs on flags for POLITICAL reasons........they're not disrespecting the Democrats or republicans, they're staging a protest....about racism. Kaepernick didn't take that first knee because he's a Democrat and hates the other party
another conservative gaslight, a defensive trope because they know damn well they're racists

Youre an intellectually lazy moron
 
Alternatively, all the voters realize there's a problem but they are split on how to fix it.
Because they don't want to fix it. Almost half the nation yearns for the time when black people knew their places. Politicians merely pay lip service.

Ummm....I'm not so sure. We can certainly agree not many Americans want more money coming out of their pockets to fix social ills....especially if they disagree on how that money is spent.

Consider reparations. For slavery, I vote not, but for Greenwood, Tulsa and/or Oklahoma should reimburse those harmed by government actions or lack thereof.

OTOH, it is in the best interests of the United States that all citizens receive a solid education 1-12 and programs to assist in additional training for skills or a degree. Same goes for a minimal level of health care; specifically preventative medicine, fixing broken bones and lacerations and vaccinations.

But neither side is asking for that. One side wants a full ride for millions of Americans, paid for by millions more of Americans who had nothing to do with it and the other side doesn't give a shit about what's best for the US. They only want to protect their riches.

He's a moron

He has never had white privilege


He has monitory privilege


He has never been all white so he can NOT have white privilege


He walks every day of his existence in black skin

Most who deal with him daily (since the day of his birth) do not know his life story


A little black kid at the park

And by how some treated him differently because if it

When he was a teen at the local arcade


When he went to get his drivers license


His whole life


My son has black friends

He has seen it first hand

So I have seen it first hand


It happens to his brown and Asian friends too


It’s real
