Of course, then they complain about paying for welfare to support all of these unwanted kids.

Shakespeare..Henry the V..."are all thy children kind and natural"....One of the Framers wrote after they finished the Constitution.."we returned to the ancient Saxon customs"
Wow, I nominate this for the most idiotic statement I have ever seen.

Before the next time you use the term Anglo-Saxon, look up what it means.

You cannot prove my statement wrong...you can only make personal attacks...this means you lost the argument.

"Observations Concerning the Increase of Mankind" Ben Franklin


an excerpt...

That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small.

All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny.

America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion;

as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth.

I could wish their Numbers were increased. (Whites)

And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People?

why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red?

But perhaps I am partial to the Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind.

That's only for some, still...just reading these forums you see alot of white people still harbor deep-seated prejudices against blacks that will probably never go away.
I disagree; like someone said, "if I don't like a black person it is because that person is being an a-hole, not because they are black,".
I wish people would knock off the 'skin color' thing. It isn't about that at all! It is in the BEHAVIOR. You act like an a-hole, I won't like you. That goes for all people.
It is NEVER about a skin color. Don't be smart-mouth, loud, aggressive, nasty, or arrogant.
