Zone1 Why do White People Call Themselves Irish-Americans, Italian Americans, Polish-Americans, etc?

[Moonglow]

Nope, a Guiness to start the day, and to end it, with more in the middle and some Jameson's for good measure.

I also usually wait until later in the day to let the amateurs pass out.

I eat so much soda bread I have no room for beer.

Without slavery the blacks on this forum would be in africa instead of the US

Thats something to be thankful for, doncha think?

No.

 

[Moonglow]

Did you know yer last name identifies your ethnicity? Not everyone but most.

Do you celebrate yer birthday any day of the year you want?

Actually, yes I do. Sometime my birthday falls in the middle of the week and I wait until the weekend to be annoyed with being another year older.

Anyway, I guess since the actual date of Jesus’s birth was lost to history that it shouldn’t be celebrated at all?

Keep in mind choosing a date to celebrate a specific event is still different than choosing a specific holiday and then culturally appropriating from another for the explicit purpose of being a racial separatist.
I remember when liberals opposed separatism, now they fall over themselves to defend it. Maybe you owe reparations to the white-separatists you oppressed in the 1980’s?

Christmas was “made up” in the 2nd century to commemorate the birth of Jesus.


Christmas - Wikipedia

Kwanzaa was made up by a black-separatist in 1966 to separate back people from the rest of society.


Kwanzaa - Wikipedia

To recap, Christmas is a holiday that commemorates an actual tradition, the birth of Jesus. Kwanzaa invented a fake tradition for the holiday to commemorate.

you may be missing something of kwanza . the holiday was "invented" in order to diminish the incessant ravages of christmas commercialism.

If the shepherds are out in the field with the flock it should have been a summer festival.

The day used for Xmas was chosen to coax the pagans into Christianity. They would get to keep celebrating their old holidays, but got a "new" meaning.

Based on the fact that Joseph & Mary traveled to the city of Joseph's father for the census, historians say it would have probably been September.

 

[Mac-7]

No.

No, meaning they’d rather be in africa?

We know better than that

Black people would have come here at some point. Slavery is nothing to be thankful for.

Probably not many before 1965

Without slavery immigration from africa would have been negligible

So would the beatings, rapes and family separations.

Oh look a Biblical scholar.

I guess you could come to that conclusion if you are not familiar with the care of sheep in winter, historical practices from 2,000 years ago and the climate of Palestine.

That actually provides the perfect analogy for black separatists who still want to celebrate Christmas while honoring their hatred and rejection of white people.

 

[JoeB131]

Not to put to much of a point on this... but an ethnic identity is not the same as a racial one.

You don't hear white people calling themselves, "European-American", because that would be silly.

 

[Mac-7]

That’s good, isnt it?

No slavery, no beatings, rape and family seperations

And few if any black people in America today

Its all good, correct?

Not even close to what I said. But feel free to keep whitewashing the brutality of slavery.

 

[bodecea]

My ancestors were Polish and have never once used the stupid hyphen shit, because I am a fucking American.

So you don't celebrate Dyngus Day?

 

[bodecea]

No slavery, no beatings, rape and family seperations

It would be hysterical if you found African in your DNA.

 

[el midgetron]

If slavery is something that today demands reparations be paid, Native Americans better start owning up to their own history of slavery that predates the arrivals of Europeans in the Americas. Otherwise, the whole issue of reparations for slavery is exposed as an anti-white farce.
