German-American work ethic,

Name one time in your life when you were ever put down, held back,
spat upon, physically threatened, passed over, ignored, or dragged
by a pickup truck till dead, just because of the colour of your skin.

Your German anscestors probably came to your great country to avoid
religious persecution in Germany and to better themselves because of
the opportunities afforded white people from Europe.

Your black friends anscestors came to your great country in chains
being whipped into submission as slaves and you sir would be very hard
pressed to equate the opportunities that you and your white generation
have enjoyed with those of the average black person.

Here is an interesting website Jay......

Shows lots of pictures of your fellow black Americans being lynched
by your fellow white Americans.

Please show me a similar website where I can go to see pictures of
German Americans being lynched because of the colour of their skin.

Just one will do.

Get over it and get on with life. Every ethnic and religious group has been
through the same thing some time in the past. Most of us get over it and
move on. Some wallow in the past and play "woe is me" for centuries and
expect special treatment and reparations. The self pity is getting very
annoying.
