@unusr1 I don't agree with you, but if that's what you believe you should tell your Rep they've got their priorities mixed up.
@unusr1 No. You made a comment about how they came here. How did they come here?

@emptywheel I believe their fellow Africans sold them into slavery, and Jewish traders sold them to American plantation owners. Correct? -
@unusr1 Let's pretend it happened like that for a moment. Would that make it "honest"? On whose part? -
@emptywheel On their part. They are not interlopers, unlike the Muslim Syrian draft dodgers you want to dump into the Christian heartland. -
@unusr1 I'm pretty sure I live in what you'd call the "Christian heartland." We've had Syrians here fore a long time. -
@emptywheel That's fabulous, good for you. Still doesn't justify importing their draft-dodging countrymen by the tens of thousands. -
@unusr1 "Importing" them? Pretty sure that's what a bunch of white men who didn't want to do their own labor did to slaves, no? -
@emptywheel I doubt plantation owners would have personally tilled the field. They wanted cheaper labor, much like today's immigration fans. -
@unusr1 OK, so lazy white men who got rich off of stolen labor. By the way, you know a significant proportion of slaves were Muslim? - 4 more replies
