My Rant / not for the faint of heart
Advertisements [?]

America was built on genocide and slave labor, and still enjoys the fruits of slave labor TODAY, at home and abroad.

Some of you may think that this is a hateful thing to say, or is an Anti American view point, it is neither, IT IS THE UGLY TRUTH!!!!

To say anything otherwise is revisionist history and blasphemous.

e.g. "This country was built on Christian values"

"This country was built on liberty and justice"

Give me a break.

There are plenty minorities that are picking fruits and vegetables in America
TODAY that are being exploited.

Plenty of minorities that work for below minimum wage in the restaurant industry, construction industry and cleaning industry that are not WORKING the system.

American companies really get medieval on non white countries though. They build their
factories in Mexico, China, India etc etc ...

Why do American companies only use non white workers for their slave labor?

Why aren’t American companies going to Russia or Yugoslavia and using their peoples for slave labor?

Nike has Chinese people making their shoes in appalling conditions, earning a slaves wage.

Same thing in Mexico, that’s why they all come here. It’s better for them to be exploited by an American company in America, than an American company in their own country.

America really did a number on African Americans.

Desegregation in public schools only happened 40 years ago!!! That’s within our lifetime, and we expect minorities to be on par with European Americans?

When un educated Europeans came to this country,
It took two to three generations for a family to become middle to upper class.

One generation worked all their life in a factory, as a result, they were able to buy a home.

The next generation inherited the family home and didn’t have to worry about paying the mortgage or paying rent. This enabled the following generation to have more advantages and so on ….

Those days are gone and the leap for a poor un educated families is bigger than ever before. There are no factories to work a lifetime at, higher tuition costs, housing costs ect …

What about Asian Americans, how come they do so well in this country?

Well, recent Asian immigrants that come to this country already come with a good education and/or profession and/or already come from money.

So they are more on par to compete with European Americans.

What is the equivalent of the ghetto or barrio in the Asian community?

There is none. They all live in middle or upper class homes, and asian teenagers
Drive souped up Honda and Acura racing cars ala fast and furious.

So to compare Asian immigrants with African Americans or Latinos is an unfair comparison.
