Why do you constantly compare the Irish to Afrikan-descendants in Amerikkka? They had nothing in common as far as history in this country/corporation.

You're right: the Black slaves were worth MORE so the plantation owners hired Irish people to do the really bad work.

I got pick-pocketed in D.C. by a white guy. I was standing next to my hubby at a magazine stand and noticed this guy standing on the other side of me. I got a really bad feeling when he moved away from me so I checked my bag, and my wallet was gone. My hubby noticed and took off running after the guy. I took off running after my hubby. We ran for 3 blocks, then the guy turned left and threw something in the garbage - my empty wallet.

Being white = having privilege. Had a debate about this last night in class.

Give it time and they will be taught that it is unfair to be intelligent. Unfair to be strong of body...unfair to be gifted with what other were not given. There is no such thing as white privilege - If there was you would have a white hillbilly sitting in the white house drinking shine in the Oval Office...not that would be a bad thing.

My wife got her pocketbook stolen by three black girls in Philadelphia. She and her friend chased after them and they were caught and arrested. They called my wife and her friend racist. It was hilarious. I hope they enjoyed their stay in jail. Justice served.
