Feeling a little down today? Sort of a rude and misinformed question methinks. You're an idiot.

Why ask the question when it appears you think you already know everything? Sorry to tell you, but "whitey" did a lot toward building this nation. Whitey, along with many, many others originally from other countries, contributed to the development of the USA. Illegal aliens did not contribute significantly to the development, as that wasn't exactly a prevalent situation in the early days. Do yourself a favor: read and inform yourself.

1. Race is regional, not genetic. So this question really is moot
2. In the early days, you were White, Black or Mixed. American Indians, not listed. Arab, Mixed. Spanish, White.
3. There was a small minority of Native Slaves. Just wanted to point that out.
4. England, France, and Spain chopped up the New World. They were White (according to their own census' from that time). They brought technology and money. They brought slaves, true. But as early as the 1600's, they were setting them free too. They wouldn't have illegal aliens as it was a free-for-all land grab. Of course, the lands were claimed by respective countries and someone settling on land owned by an opposing country could still lead to problems. So Free Men (mainly White, but many Black, Jew, etc) really built this country. I'm not dismissing the Slaves, but it wasn't as far reaching as it is often made out to be.
5. The Spaniards enslaved the Natives and Blacks for the building of Mexico. Even today, Natives are marginalized. So I'm confused on how you can put yourself so high above all of this.
6. By the 1850 census, Mixed people could just check White. This confuses the issue as it was by state. To many, one drop of Black blood and you were Black or Mixed. To others, 1/16 White made you White. It wasn't until 2000 that we started to hyphenate on the census. Before then everyone had to identify and choose one.

Neither, read your history books. this nation was built by many people of many races. And still is being built. When you look at a white person and see a so called Whitey, What do you think I see when I see a black or brown person? I will tell you I see another person, just like me in many ways. When you get there. Then you will find out what true peace is.

Whites,blacks,browns and yellow built this nation.
with out each other there would be no nation.No one race deserved to be cut out of that scenario.The white settlers sacrificed their lives to make this country what it is,they settled the west and made it habitable .Don't give me that BS that the white man did nothing.There would be no USA with out the whites.Illegal aliens did nothing because there were none until the 1930s when immigration laws were first enacted you cant be illegal until there is a law to break.

Actually it was a CIA plot, the Roswell Aliens built this nation but they allow others to take the credit.

Technically this country was built on illegal immigrants. We were a part of England than once we were here we told them we wanted to be independent. As far as whitey is concerned I believe those people who signed the declaration of independence were white.

You are more than confused..... whites did and do plenty to build our country....who do you think works and pays taxes to fund the welfare some blacks and all illegals depend on for their very existence?

the country was built by European migrants. first they killed all the locals. they took the help of blacks whom they bought as slaves. now the illegal aliens are making life easy, cheap and comfortable for others.
