Why did the US allow in all that human sewage?

[–] gluserty 12 years ago

The U.S. didn't mean to, though our government should have been more aware; Castro granted the U.S. boats free harbors access while the U.S. offered political asylum and refugee status to the Cubans. Castrol got sneaky and basically unloaded hardened criminals onto the boats.

Miami Cubans - in defiance of U.S. law - used their own boats to go down to Mariel and pick up the refugees. That is almost never reported. Instead you get the Miami Cuban spin that is all the fault of the devil Castro.

I bet the Native Americans felt the same way in the many many years ago.

Too bad you exposed your stupidy and inability to debate with that desperate knee-jerk accusation of racism.

So which tribe are you referring to exactly, genius? Of course you don't know. Of course you are riding the wave of knowledge you received from the 4 pages on "Native Americans" in your HS textbook (and of course whatever you can "secretly" copy paste from Wiki....LOL, loser).

You do know that tribal/inter-tribal/multi-generational perpetual conflict, wars, massacres, theft, etc.. between nearly 560 different tribes speaking nearly 250 languages, had occurred long before Europeans. Tribes forcing tribes off each other’s lands and brutality was commonplace.

And btw, every one of us are descendants of the survivors of long-forgotten conquests.

Okay, fine, I'll bite.

I haven't been in HS in almost twenty years, and yes I called you racist because you referred to Native Americans as "redskins". I stand by that. You would never call a random Native American a "redskin" to his/her face. It's easy to talk tough behind a keyboard.

Trust and believe that I know that they had all kinds of wars and fights among themselves before the "white man" got to the new world. Just as they do and did in Africa, Asia, and Europe. I'm not too knowledgeable on my Australian history.

My post was about the comment made by the OP who asked why America let in all of that "human sewage" to which I replied that I'm quite sure that hundreds of years ago the Native Americans were most likely thinking the same thing. If you can think of anything besides your own small minded opinion and see it from their perspective.

I also do not believe that they were sitting around praying that the "white man" bring "civilization" to them, no more than America will feel on that day when China decides to call in it's debts on us and we are literally under China's thumb, you know that day is coming. Our last two presidents have not been so great. No matter which side of the aisle you are on. Or imagine if we'd lost WW2, Would Hitler have brought civilization to the states?

Isn't it many American's dream to live off of the land, and to defend their stake and defend their family by any means? Only the strong, worshipping as you feel right with little or no government interference? That is what they had. It may be ugly compared to modern society, but so was slavery, yet it built America and many other places around the globe in many different time periods.
