No guilt-ridden white lib or ungrateful black guy shilling for reparations regrets slavery more than i doNot even close to what I said. But feel free to keep whitewashing the brutality of slavery.
Its possibleIt would be hysterical if you found African in your DNA.
"christians" stole most of their current traditions from pagans.The day used for Xmas was chosen to coax the pagans into Christianity. They would get to keep celebrating their old holidays, but got a "new" meaning.
No.So you don't celebrate Dyngus Day?
Fact.i don't think these rugged individualists ( i'm sure many of them fantasize about some day calling trump "sir:" with a tear in their burly eye .......) find a sense of community to be as important as membership in, and a designated role in, 1 specific kind of dysfunctional nuclear family.
It is raised just as properly as those who have created at least 3 threads asking why blacks call ourselves African American and have never questioned whites doing the same.IM2 raises a good point. Of course he raises it badly but if people want to be Italian, they need to get the fuck out and go to Italy. Either be American or don't. Their forefathers came here because America was a far better place than Ireland, Italy, Poland, etc. Just like the Venezuelans coming here today; if they want to be Venezuelan-American or Hispanic-American, if the places they are leaving are not shit-holes, then stay the fuck where they were. We want them to live in the best country in the world. If it's not America, then go to wherever it is.
If you're Irish-American then go back to Ireland. Your parents may have cooked whatever foods it is that Irish eat. And they sure as hell make good whiskey, but if you not fully American if you're part Irish. If Ireland was so great, why did your forefathers come here? Oh, wait... Let me guess.. Because Ireland sucked and America was/is great.I am not a big fan of the hyphenated American things. And I am a dedicated American patriot.
But I am also of Irish descent. That culture is part of who I am. That does NOT make me less of an American.
I didn't see those. You're right. I dislike whites doing it far more than I dislike blacks doing it. White people became Americans by choice. Many blacks did also, but millions weren't given a choice.It is raised just as properly as those who have created at least 3 threads asking why blacks call ourselves African American and have never questioned whites doing the same.
How does your DNA show that you're American? Are you American Indian?My DNA shows I am English-Irish-Welsh-Swedish-Norwegian-Italian-Russian-German-American.
I was born in this nation so I will just call myself American.
In passing, my Irish ancestors are due reparations by my English ancestors. I wasn't alive at that time so I don’t deserve anything.
Britain’s Genocidal Starvation of the Irish — or So-Called ‘Potato Famine’ | Winter Watch
"A Celt will soon be as rare on the banks of the Shannon as the red man on the banks of Manhattan." -- London Times 1846 editorial One of the greatest cover ups and frauds ever perpetrated is the true story of the Irish Starvation, or genocide. In hidden history, it's more commonly referred to bywww.winterwatch.net
Your ancestors didn't want to be Italians or Sicilians. Just because they had a bond based on language and culture so associated with other Italians and Sicilians didn't change that they came to America because Sicily was a terrible place and America was not. If they had wanted to continue to be Sicilians, they would have stayed where they were. If you want to be Italian, you can get the hell out of America.my great grandfater came on a crowded boat from an overpopulsted 3rd world island with many fellow sicilians, who helped each other find work and intermarry and shared their last meat ball.
damn straight i'm marching with the italian-american club. we want to continue that kind of community (which does more to support family values than any "party of family vales" could.)
If your ancestry was so great, why the hell didn't your family stay there? I'm sure you're quick to say that when Venezuelans come here and bring Venezuela with them, soon we'll be Venezuela. And that would be a true statement. And if Italians come here and bring Italy, we'll be partly that, too.Another-one of your nonstop moronic posts.
Why shouldn't someone be proud of his heritage/ancestry? especially in a country, who's roots entirely derive of immigrants, aside from the indigenous population. And an Injuin is proud or able to state that he is of e.g. Comanche ancestry, just as well.
There are also a lot of Americans who either don't care about their ancestry or simply don't know - they simply refer to themselves as Americans.
The absolute majority of Negros has no idea as to where their Kunta Kinte came from. Obviously you got a problem with that.
And these "integrated Negros" from e.g. Sudan - will also refer to themselves as a Sudanese-German or an e.g. Ghanaian-German.
E.g. Gerald Asamoah - a Ghanaian German Negro.
Since in Germany no one really cares about, (aside from some lefty-greens), from which Negro tribe in Africa someone comes from - the political correct term African-German (Deutsch-Afrikaner) was introduced to replace Deutscher Neger. (German Negro). Factually and essentially the exact same.

No, a mosaic means that each group keeps their group identity - as in their nationality. America should be a melting pot. It is the sum of the cultures, not a group of nationalities.I was taught - and I believe - that calling America a "melting pot" is a negative description, implying that people lose their ethnic identities into a stew of mediocre American-ness. The better metaphor is to call America a "mosaic," where many ethnic cultures live side-by-side to create a beautiful whole. I am a lifetime Pittsburgh resident, and this city manifests a cornucopia of ethnicities, many of which can be identified by ethnic churches (built in ethnic neighborhoods) - almost all Catholic Churches - that were built by, for example, Polish immigrants, German immigrants, Italian immigrants, Russian and Greek immigrants ("Catholic Orthodox" churches), Slovak immigrants, Hungarian immigrants, and so on.
Although my own personal ethnicity is all over the lot, I was raised in the family homestead with my Grandmother who was Irish, and I was raised as an "Irish Catholic." We loved Irish food (which ain't too good, to be candid), Irish music and dancing, and over-consumption of alcohol on days ending with 'y'.
The whole cornucopia of faux ethnicities (almost no one was actually born in the country that they celebrate) allows almost everyone to believe that they are better then other people.
And it is clear that the African-American community lacked that option, being many generations removed from, and totally isolated from, their own ethnicities and all that included. Which is why we have the African American community constantly seeking to create an analogous ethnicity, with middling success - Kwanzaaaaa being a rather preposterous and insidious example of the phenomenon.
probably becsause vicky was starving the irish to death. the bitch was worse than pol pot,If you're Irish-American then go back to Ireland. Your parents may have cooked whatever foods it is that Irish eat. And they sure as hell make good whiskey, but if you not fully American if you're part Irish. If Ireland was so great, why did your forefathers come here? Oh, wait... Let me guess.. Because Ireland sucked and America was/is great.
That's absurd. One marriage outside of your geographical history, which tells you nothing at all about their ethnicity, and for generations to the end of time.Did you know yer last name identifies your ethnicity? Not everyone but most.
Which half of you was born in Germany?Most of them don't. I don't call myself a German American because I'm only half German. (The other half is Dutch, English, Irish and Cherokee). I don't know of a lot of third or fourth generation white ethnics who call themselves anything other than Americans.
and i am not sicilian enough to be "made," we are quite thoroughly american , while retaining our roots.Your ancestors didn't want to be Italians or Sicilians. Just because they had a bond based on language and culture so associated with other Italians and Sicilians didn't change that they came to America because Sicily was a terrible place and America was not. If they had wanted to continue to be Sicilians, they would have stayed where they were. If you want to be Italian, you can get the hell out of America.
Does it bother you? If so, why?How many white people in America are from these countries? Because any more, it seems like most of them are born here.
Then we have places like this.

SCANDINAVIAN–AMERICAN HALL OF FAME
The Scandinavian-American Hall of Fame is an enduring means of honoring those persons of Scandinavian descent in North America who have achieved greatness in their fields of endeavor and/or whose efforts have contributed significantly to the betterment of mankind. Deserving individuals of other ethnicities may be honored with special awards as well.
Through honoring these outstanding individuals, it is hoped that others will be inspired to strive for meaningful accomplishments as well.
The Scandinavian-American Hall of Fame was established in Minot, N.D., in 1984 as a permanent component of Norsk Høsfest. Because Minot hosts North America’s largest Scandinavian festival, which strives to build pride in heritage; and because North Dakota is located in the center of the continent’s Scandinavian population, it is appropriate that Minot, N.D., be the permanent home of the Scandinavian-American Hall of Fame.

I can keep going.
it tells uou who their owners were and probably the same guy was their great grandfather.I know a lot of Black people named Davis, or Smith. What does that tell you about their ethnicity?
Why not?How many white people in America are from these countries? Because any more, it seems like most of them are born here.

After a few generations that's exactly what happens. As it should.... a "melting pot" ... implying that people lose their ethnic identities into a stew of ... American-ness. ...
