I am so glad to see this thread! I am married into an Irish-American family and they never cease with all their "kiss me I'm Irish!" stuff. That is cool, but I read a few years back that German-Americans were the most populous European ethnic group. When have you ever heard "kiss me I am German!?" I think most of our German immigrants came a century before the damn Nazis ruined the country's reputation, and they had no part in it. Germans have a fine culture and intellectual traditions that should be celebrated without shame. Wherever they go, they distinguish themselves through their intellect and work ethic and decency.
By the way, this liberal light just did the genographic thing, and I am apparently about 50% Britist/Irish, 35% German, and 15% Ashkenazi Jew (or other southeast European). A European mutt. Great cultures all, and worth celebrating.
A lot of these people you're posting up are Jews, and they wouldn't be too happy with the association. LOL
You know, the Jews and the Germans were actually a formidable team. With their intensely intellectual cultures and all. If the Germans had not gone insane in the last century, they would undoubtedly be leading the world in innovation and probably militarily too. Oh well, their descendents are here, and kicking butt.
LOL. They are German Jews, so I thought they fit in.
True...but German Jews that were lucky to escape Germany when they did. Or lucky enough to be dead in 1933.
It does seem as if Jews really flourished moreso in German lands than anywhere else, and i'm sure that's no coincidence. Germans are pretty damn brilliant.

It's also Breast Cancer Awareness month, Hunger Awareness month, Hispanic Heritage month, Poppin Popcorn month, National Caramel month, and the list goes on.
I can tell you the two that I think are the most significant.
Proud German-American here! My ancestors are still farming the same land people of the same last name have been farming for 500+ years.
Black people have had it bad in this country, but if they heard some of the stories of my family and the way the landlords of hundreds of years ago treated them, they were essentially slaves. The landlords could have them jailed for any reason without proof. They barely made enough money to stay on the land most years.

1. A liberal was the second person to comment on this thread after the OP itself.
2. This thread was doing just fine without your race baiting thank you very much.
3. The Michael Jackson line doesnt even make sense.
