Some countries literally are shitholes

[Fireball]

America built it's wealth off of free African Labor, If reparations were to be paid, it is estimated the U.S. would owe 14 trillion dollars as stated in a Newsweek article.

So slavery is the only reason America is in the position it's in, without slavery America doesn't exist.

I call bullshit. There are a ton of things that happened after slavery was abolished that have contributed to the US' position. WTF did I ever do with slaves? Newsweek also estimated it as between $5.9T and $14T. Is there a real number in there somewhere? Then again, maybe trace all the ancestry of the people in Africa who pillaged villages for slaves to sell, and make them pay, too. Blame is all over the place. Hmm, a little biblical quote about the "sins of the father" come to mind. See, I can do it, too.

Whatever the politics of the moment, it is how our country was founded and exemplifies the best of our immigrant nation and our values. We accept those from shithole countries *because* they are from shithole countries (like Ireland was, or Eastern Europe...the list goes on and on).

When did the Irish become white?

With the importation of the white russet potato.
