SRINATH, I frankly don't know whether to take this as an insult or as a joke, but, for the benefit of doubt, I'll choose the latter.

Not all issues have a begining and end ... some of these rapes and counter rapes and drive by's and counter driveby's and what not, are iterations upon iterations upon iterations passed on from mouth to ear from people alive and dead to the next generation ...
"Its always something isn't it" To quote Brad Pitt in Troy.
The ILIAD, the ODISSEY, the ENEID and the DIVINE COMEDY are Italian Junior and High School curriculum, bar none.
It's like asking an American if he ever read Tom Sawyer...
If this is all you have as a quote from Homer... no, I don't mean Homer Simpson, I mean Homer the Greek Poet...
Quote:It is in fact a lot easier to settle with 1 st gen immigrants on both sides... Wait till they spend 20 generations.
All this complaining and hand wringing about blacks committing crime - gee the whites should have thought about that before loading up shipfuls of them and dragging them across the ocean.
A few words here: look up the term "
Appalachia"; then go and read comic strips such as "
Snuffy Smith" and "
Lil'Abner". (I would dare you to understand a telephone conversation with anyone of them...

)
The families and small towns described are NOT American, they are Bavarian and Czech immigrants who "spik Inglish" and carry on with their old world traditions in the New World.... including blood feuds and shootouts from one cabin to the next.
I can guarantee you there was more hot lead exchanged in Appalachia at any one time than in Sicily.
As for the blacks enslaved and sold off to American merchants... suffice it to say that:
1.
black slaves were literally unknown in Greek/Roman society; slaves were either thieves off to hard labor, or people in debt "sentenced" to work off their debt for a fixed time by the Judge, or POWs;
2.
black slaves, in those days as in the 19th century, were obtained by other blacks who would go off to pillage neighboring villages of other ethnic entities, and sell the "reap" off to arabic merchants - much, much before Mohammed or Islam; (for evidence, since you don't seem to read history, read "Roots" by Alex Haley)
3.
slave merchants would sail to Dakar or Lagos, the main slave markets in West Africa, but the markets were run by Africans and Arabs, NOT by the English or the Americans; whites would simply go shopping.
So please blame black slavery on who would go off and pillage in the 1st place.
For evidence, see the Rwanda-Burundi events of the 1990's, or what is STILL going on in Mauritania, Mali and the Sudan, please.
Quote:The one exception to this I'd say is - The mexicans who "came here looking for a better life". Those fools should be rounded up and air dropped into whatever hole they crawled out of anchor babies and all ...
What ? And leave all the Asians ? Why not keep the Mexicans - they're North American after all - and expel all the Asians ? Don't forget the poorer Mexicans are ethnic Mayans, not Spaniards - those guys are the higher upper topper class...
Quote:If we did that, the blacks can go back to their traditional line of work without the illegal competetion and they will be busy making a living to try to make a life by killing.
The blacks' traditional line of work... Where ? When ? In which continent and which time period ?
ARE YOU ADVOCATING SLAVERY AGAIN ?
Quote:We have millions of unemployed ... there are no jobs americans wont do. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
Cool.
Srinath.
YUP ! And who is to blame ? Would you place the blame according to granddad's name, or hair style, or skin color...
...or by the fact that some bankers have cheated the system to the point some Banks are richer than the Nations they reside in, and some Heads of State are literally held by the 84LL$ by banking cartels ?
Think about it.
