@unusr1 You're suggesting there are more people of Muslim descent in the US than white people? Are you sure? That surprises me.
@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? -
@emptywheel That's really what this is about for you, isn't it - white guilt? Remember: whites didn't start slavery, but they did end it. -
@unusr1 I'm more about pointing out to lazy whites that they have a really distorted sense of history of this country. -
@emptywheel Are you still living in the 60s? Whites have been brainwashed in schools and mass media for 2 generations to hate their own kind -
@unusr1 You're saying you're not human? Cause I don't hate humans. They're my kind.
