    What was it called when Whites passed laws to deport all people of a certain race even though they were citizens?

    What was it called when Whites passed laws to round up and slaughter all indigenous people?

    Or when Whites cheered the imprisonment of all people of a certain race even though they were citizens?

    When did they pass laws to deport all whites? Imprison all whites? Enslave all whites? On never.

    White's crying racism is like when the judge tells the white person to pay back the person of color for everything that was stolen and the white person says "its racist, why am I the only person paying here?"

    Go cry into your beer about disparate treatment somewhere else.

    Same thing it was called when they executed Ethel Rosenberg for being Jewish. And when they turned back the SS St Louis to allow the Nazis to kill all the Jewish passengers. And when they denied my grandfather a job for being Jewish, and my father in law entrance into a school for being Jewish. And when they didn’t invite my kids to parties because we are Jewish. how many of your parents friends have numbers tattooed on their forearm? How many of your relatives?
    I know what it means. And what it doesnt.
    I live it, you just observe it.

    Sorry for your family's treatment throughout history. But never think my family (been here for 140 yrs) "just observed it."

    I won't defend Kid Rock's politics and his attempts to become Hank Williams Jr. musically in the 2000s, but "Devil Without a Cause" cracked me up at the time and it still sounds good today, IMHO.

    And when the popular music competition was garbage like Shania Twain, Spice Girls, Britney Spears and robo-Cher, no wonder everyone bought Kid Rock's CD.

    We started covering the Civil War and then Reconstruction when I was in 7th grade in 1970-71. (My family had visited Gettysburg on a vacation in 1965, when I was 6-7).
    One of the teachers launched into a soliloquy about how the Radical Republicans were dangerous rabble-rousers and the "night riders" in the postwar South were just trying to keep order.

    You mean that underside of three-day-old dead catfish pallor?

    Leave the Spice Girls alone!

    Howard Cosell's own father-in-law turned him down for a job in the family business because he was a Jew.
