Well, it could be a form of karma, seeing that the USA was founded on stolen land. And, the immigrants that flock to the USA is mostly in part because of US policies. From the wars in the Middle East (which really is none of our concern, let the UN deal with it) to the war on drugs and America's drug addiction which have wrecked havoc on the Hispanic countries south of us.

And the people who gain from these wars will keep their power by creating division like this throughout the country.

So we deserve a sort of pay back, eh? Even though a handful of globalist dirt bags who've been running the show for the last 100 years swear more to global allegiance than American alegiance?

Never said anything about deserving. It's just, you reap what you sow. If not in your life time, then in future generations.

totalitarian states always tear down the past and rewrite history
I guess for many it’s a way of getting a fresh start but then again we tend to repeat past errors
like -no whites allowed -signs posted at universities at some events

This is true, and I have noticed. It's happening with everything in the USA lately. Football, Star Wars, comic books and related movies and TV shows, movies, music and entertainment. Even the American tradition of drinking milk and eating beef has been subject to attacks from the totalitarian using PC or some faux environmental protecting acts to attack our traditions.

My ancestors (a lot of them) didn't even come to America until around 1900. Moreover, they came to Minnesota and we didn't really profit from slavery (despite lies that all of America benefited from it) - and if anything, MN lost more from slavery than gained anything since we were one of the first state to volunteer union soldiers, many who died ending slavery.

But, that's the thing, they still came to America, which is stolen lands that have been built with some form of slave labor. Even today, we have the laws on the books where companies can import foreigners under that H1B1 Visa and take advantage of them. Don't have to pay the high wages, and the employer doesn't have to worry about paying social security for that employee either.

Stolen land? Well...the Mystic Lake Native tribe are the wealthiest people (per capita) on the face of the planet. I can almost assure you that they don't want anyone leaving MN any time soon. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...lion-year.html


Also, that's not getting into how brutal Natives were to their fellows here in America before Europeans showed up. https://www.science20.com/news_artic...arrived-141847
