If you do not understand or are unable to understand, you now have a long project ahead of you.
You are "Branded" and dismissed.
NOW!

P.S.: IF you are from a Southern Family with ANY REAL links to say the 1800's, have your DNA checked out. You will NOT be happy with the results.

I am a dis-honor huh? Wow, I dont know how i will continue to live b/c an SAE from Washington has insulted me, oh lord, what am I to do? By the way, My family came from England in the early 1700's. I am 100% WASP. And yes we did have a plantation, but we dont look to highly on that about our history. We are proud that when our rights were threatned of our existence and how we lived and how we functioned as a society, we fought back. Yes we lost, there is no way in hell we could have won, but we fought for what we believed in. Lay off, relax, our beloved south will never be again, we all know this. So why dont you just chill out and understand that there are other people who know whats right and you dont. I respect your wrong opinion.

Ok guys, we cant screw with yall anymore. If anyone has taken us seriously, you guys are stupid. My brothers and I thought it would be funny to see how mad people get over the internet. Get a life, you guys took us waaayyyy too seriously.

Get a Life. If you couldnt tell we were kidding, you are beyond retarded.

Clearly you need more things to do with your life.

You realy believe everything you read ( in here)?
I have traveled a great deal-I will leave it at that.
Besides, you seem to have poor understanding of Greek History as well as US History.
But since you just stated as a fact(?) that your family has been here since 1700's-
what I said about DNA is very true-even if it does not hold true to you

From England, huh? Well, Britain was part of the Roman Empire for some time. You could have some Italian (or even Middle Eastern/North African) in you from way back.

Topshider, you've done it again boy. You have succeeded in distracting grown folks while grown folks are talking. I think your knowledge of history is nill. Your knowledge of our American history, is only reflective of your knowledge of race relations. Sit back and learn son, you are missing some of the gems of life, especially in regards to the gift of 'the melting pot' that you exist in.

Is that his words or yours?

LOL..."melting pot" is nothing more than a restaurant.

We're talking about "historical facts" of which the exclusion or inclusion of certain details and standpoints can make a helluva difference.

You're right about "historical" facts. "Winners" and "losers" usually have different interpretations about actual events. I do accept actual facts to be true, no matter what the outcome is, if I have did enough cross-referencing. But since history concerns past events, no reenactment can change what happened.

Actually, I think that this country is more of a melting pot than some would like to believe. I mean, I love Chinese and Italian food, Canadian whiskey, and a lot of my clothes are made in Taiwan. Now, it's not like everyone likes each other or anything all sugary, but Americans are influenced by many different cultures. It's not neccesarily a social melting pot but American society does not occur in a vaccum.

I'm glad you concluded with this b/c I was about to ask if you were serious in confessing your taste in food and clothing. Melting pot isn't about "liking" anyone or even about cultural influence. Sure, there are Mexicans working at On The Border and I drink Chai Tea almost everyday but who cares? These groups are still identifiable as distinct racial and ethnic entities, and often subjected to inequality under a privileged race and class system, so the U.S. is more of a "salad bowl" than a "melting pot."

My jogging pants were made in China, in case anyone cares.

When a person speaks of the term or phrase "melting pot", they are only speaking of the cultrually mixed affect of the "melting pot". Discussions about this "pot" are not usually the foundation of the socio-econ-political strata and state of being in our country. Nonetheless, we have to with lucid clarity, acknowledge that the "melting pot" exist. This issue of existence,sub-existences, priviledge, and what not, is a whole other discussion.

Salad Bowl is a better term.

Melting pot implies that you add different ingredients that become ONE entity at the end that is comprised of all of them. This is clearly not what America is, as we have many distinct racial, ethinic, religious groups in this country that are very different than each other.

Read Reinventing the Melting Pot, it's good. One guy uses the term "alloy", like metal alloy, as a metaphor. I think thats a good explanation.

Actually, I like "pot of stew" better.
