[quote=America is number one;5778699]   Of course Europeans don't have an exclusive claim to America. America has always and will always be a melting pot.   There's that term again, oh how I hate that term:rolleyes:    I realize that there were no black folks in the continental congress. They were too busy working in the fields, so that men like Washington and Jefferson had time to dream up these great American ideals.   Why is American in quotations? You do know that Washington and Jefferson are two of the guys who drew up and approved the Naturalization Act of 1790 which specifically stated that only free WHITE men of good moral standing were eligible for American citizenship right? This was the law of the land up until after the Civil War.    Yes the government was founded by whites but America was built by all!    No. This is not true sir. Please do enlighten me as to when and how Arabs, Mexicans, Salvadorans, Jamaicans, Haitians, Dominicans, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Thais, Vietnamese, Philipinos, Japanese, Cambodians, Koreans, Somalis, Kenyans, Guatemalans, Malaysians, Nicaraguans, Bolivians, Peruvians, Venezuelans, Brazilians, Costa Ricans, Hondurans, Indians and Pakistanis built America???:confused: Maybe you know something that I do not?    Also, just because a few thousand China men came to America in the late 19th century to work on railroads and as domestic servants(bring me a sandwich Hop Sing:D)does that give the Chinese the right to colonize our entire west coast?! What about Vancouver, is there any justification for Vancouver, BC, Canada being nearly 50% Chinese?! Did the Chinese build Canada too?? Also, Blacks picking cotton, waiting tables, cleaning house and plowing fields on privately owned Southern plantations for some rich, greedy, super capitalist, elitist plantation owners does not = building America. Get real :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
