[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 1095204, member: 4816"] I made no such COMPARISON--???? I believe you just did. I gave you FACTS --YOU BRING UP COMPARISON ??? Just sick and tired of poor OPPRESSED people---HISTORY --your word is the past ---Can we please LIVE in the Present. Every Minority group in History has gone through difficult times --many of those groups had to solve THEIR problems in Their own Communities. The Irish were enslaved by the same Masters --The English Empire --came to the "new world"--with nothing-- not only found the "Irish " need not apply signs but found themselves fighting in a Civil War where many of them Died to free the slaves. In many Irish communities in the U.S --alcohol was the devil they had to rid THEMSELVES OF. Today you and many do not like those comparisons. Tell me they came here willingly --Great point !! When Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation --WHICH was EXCELLENT --few people today know --that FREE TRANSPORTATION --to any former Slave would be provided to the country that the English ,Spanish and African's --yes the African's sold their own into slavery. Terrible time in the history of human beings---but it is HISTORY. They willingly stayed !! Can we now live in the present and STOP crying about HISTORY ?:wink2: Just like people got tired of Chicken Little yelling about the sky is falling ---After all these years of Affirmative Action --AND huge OPPORTUNITIES FOR all particularly MINORITIES ---time to face facts and reality.
