in the threads posted on this.

there was a time when i thought mostly right wingers were that ignorant and made such bigoted hateful comments.

one especially ignorant one is "my family had nothing to do with it" "other races would resent it" and other typical bs.

my family didn't come until after civil rights, but i know many non black minorities benefited from those who fought for equal rights before. it was the civil rights movement and other stuggles for equality which made immigration policies more favorable than before for minorities that came afterwards.

i expect ignorance and lack of critical thinking and having no historical perspective from the right wing but you are seeing that shit on a site like this.
