You do know that there is no such thing as "reverse racism". Racism is racism.

And who's being punished and rewarded? Please provide details.

I will settle for native born “Americans” to pass the same test I had to become a citizen. AND also take a oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
No doubt quite a few of us U.S.-born citizens would fail the citizenship exam. That is one rigorous test. But it is material we all should know.

The two documents that make America “exceptional” are the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. I am sorry that we have elected Presidents in recent years that do not even understand those basic principals that make this country different from any other on earth.
Amen to that. Bless you, and I'm glad you're here.

Oh, some posters on this forum never let little details like facts get in their way ...

Dude, try to keep up! China already has walked right through the front door, has been here for a couple of decades, and owns a good chunk of U.S. companies and debt. Who "allowed" it? Every administration up until the present.

The question is: How do we repay the debt, and regain control of our own economy?

A lack of common sense, perhaps?
  • If you tax something, you increase its price.
  • If you subsidize something, you decrease its price.
Guess what happens when you TAX LABOR AND INDUSTRY?
The price to buy American goods and services goes UP (inflation).
This contradicts the eCONomists claim that inflation is "too much money chasing too few goods."
Evidence is all around that there is a shortage (drought) of money tokens.
Do you really think billionaires are bidding up the price for milk and cookies?

The socialist revolution of 1933, and subsequent administrations are to blame for destroying American industry and jobs. And that indirectly subsidized foreign producers who didn't have American taxes inflating their prices.
No amount of reform will correct the problem, especially since "Takers" outvote the "Makers." They will oppose any attempt to break their rice bowl.

Because this is a huge contributing factor in everything that's happening today.
But no one seems to be a be able to answer this question.

The same could be said for Native Americans and Mexicans, many of them were here before the Europeans even came over

The Amerindians weren't native to this country/continent either and they didn't believe in land ownership. There was no stolen land.
That is not true and you know it.

They should get the eff out and find some lawless hellhole and see how they like it.
Nobody wants to cancel History. All of those statues for the confederacy should be taken down. They are offensive. I am sure if you like losers and traitors such as the confederacy, you can find a country that will take you in.

Now Cherokee and some others on east adapted to idea of individual ownership of land and modern farming practices of time. Some owned African slaves. Yet though they were living the white man lifestyle, they werent white enough so against a Supreme Court ruling, President Jackson banished them on Trail of Tears first to Arkansas, then to Indian Territory, now known as Oklahoma. Jackson was a racist demagogue much like our current president.

Those removed from their lands in SE were Cherokee, Creek, Seminole , Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Ponca. 100,000 were moved, thousands died in barbaric forced march.

Seems white man speak with forked tongue.....
He knows better, he always says stuff like that when he knows better.

Yes, if you’re ignorant or dense:
Quote:
Reverse racism or reverse discrimination is the concept that affirmative action and similar color-conscious programs for redressing racial inequality are a form of anti-white racism
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_racism

When I get the job over you, just for being black, that’s called reverse racism. So now whenever I show up to work, people only think I got the job because I’m black, and not because of my skills or credentials which further divides this nation and stirs animosity.

What a great concept to alienate blacks among their white colleagues, progressives.

But no one seems to be a be able to answer this question.


It all started when they were building the transcontinental railroad, and white people didn't want to help build it because they were lazy or scared of the dangers.

So who do you think stepped in and built the railroad, and still got treated like s*** for it?

The Chinese.

Basically they helped build the American economy because america's own people wouldn't do it.


So how is this relevant today... Americans were virtue signaling about buying and having everything made in the USA, only to turn around and keep buying things from China because they were cheaper. Americans didn't step up, so the Chinese stepped in.

I didn't say that it wasn't theirs. If they want to set up a lawless hellhole like CHOP they should not do it here and ruin this country. Why no go to Yemen or Somalia?

You made no mention of "lawless" zones in your OP, only "moron protesters" and "BLM signs".

Utter nonsense! I am so sick of liberals claiming that Americans are too lazy to work. And by the way, this is every American citizens's country so just more nonsense from you!
