My great grandparents on my mothers side came to the US with nothing after WWI and were treated every bit as bad as blacks were in the south. The Irish were used as cannon fodder during the civil war and earned far less pay than 'americans' made. Should the irish still hold this institutional hatred and victim status?


In the end you are saying that whites will forever be in debt to blacks for treatment they were not even alive to experience. I see that as nothing more than being a permanent victim and that, above all else, will hold a person back from really excelling in life.
