Some one with a brain gave you this answer before and it still stands

Level 3
"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
He was speaking about legal ,not illegals

.Lets see how many people/cultural have I personally oppressed so far today.
Well I oppressed the weed culture by having them wiped out of my flower beds,and I oppressed the ant culture by
convincing them to move on to another area of my land.I haven't even gotten to people yet and I'm already on a roll.
Time to do my oppressing thing on a larger scale I guess.

If we could resurrect the dead, we would have a lot of suspects to put on trial and....hang. This would go for all countries, including Mexico with their long history of oppression of their own people. Bad people do bad things.

Your average American and your average Mexican are good people. There is very little racism in America simply because American was Political Corrected to death 20 years ago.

Please don't target good people. I'd like to target shoot but I would have to aim here, there and everywhere. What about North Korea? Talk about oppression and death. What about the African nations and the horror there? You know, White slave traders could not have harvested the slaves from Africa without the aid of black slave collectors and sales to the white man. This is a horrible world in places and there are horrible people in places but MOST humans are generous, kind and truly want to help those that need it.

I have no history in the oppression of other cultures.I love all people and have many friends outside my race.My boyfriend is from a different culture.

So you think white people are the only ones in history that brought about oppression towards others.Maybe you should look at the modern slavery that goes on in Saudi Arabia and other places in the middle east.

Here's a personal account of modern day slavery its a book: SLAVE (my true story) by-Mende Nazer and Damien Lewis

And what about other people and their history of rioting anytime they do not get their way?

And just to let you know, we are already punished and always will be. Just let someone try to set up the White Entertainment Network or the United White College Fund. That would never be allowed, yet others are allowed to have things just for them.

Your statements simply are not true. Read some history, maybe just go back to the Ottoman empire. When you have completed your assignment, report back here and render your apology to all of the fine white people who have given their lives to toppling oppressive regimes around the globe, in places like germany, Iraq, Afganistan, and Colonial America. Then an apology would be in order for the living white people who are currently risking their lives to bring freedom to other parts of the would. Then you need to start pointing your finger at the current non-white people around the world who are oppressing thier fellow human beings. Some faces to point at would be Jessee Jackson, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Iranian Armadinajad, The nut in North Korea, and many others, you also might want to include Vincente Fox of Mexico, although he is on his way out.
And if you are black, then you might want to include your community leaders and fellow black citizens, you are oppressing yourselves by continuing your hatred of whites, your abuse of each other, and your accute case of hatred towards white people, oh, i already said that. But I think you get my point.
Stop blaming white people for everything. Grow up, and get a grip on reality. And pull your pants up!

If you start punishing them, then you have to punish the "Native Americans" for oppressing each other, Europeans for oppressing each other, Russians for oppressing Ukrainians, Poles, etc, Chinese for oppressing Mongols and vice versa, Japanese for oppressing other Oriental peoples, (do you see where this is going yet?) Arab Muslims for oppressing Middle Eastern Christians and Jews, Turkish Muslims for oppressing Balkan peoples, Jews, ME Christians, Arab Muslims, Persians, North Africans; have to punish African tribes for oppressing one another, Egyptians for oppressing "Nubians" and Jews, Italians for Romans oppressing about everyone they met, Greeks for same, Persians for same, Medes for same... (should I quit yet?) In the grand scale of history, America has actually been fairly benign as far as oppression. Grow up, get a clue, remove the chip from your shoulder, and learn to judge people as individuals rather than groups.

You mean punishing the kids for what the great grandparents did? Should that rule be applied across the board, or only to whites?

And will they be rewarded for the education opportunities, health related advances and social services they have provided, or are you going to ignore that part?

As far as the enslavement of blacks, we bought those slaves from other blacks that had them enslaved already. There was black on black slavery in Africa until the mid 90's so white people gave up oppressing blacks before blacks did. Not to mention the reason slavery got to be illegal in africa is from laws we made here first. Now as for the so called racist issue of illegal immigrants........it's not a damn race issue its the fact your illegal and not only white people hate the fact that illegals are here.

What other?????????????
Which cultures????????????
Pulling the race card because you have no reasonable stance or facts.
You are a racist
I have no African-American friends, or Mexican-American, Australian-American or any hyphenated-friends. I just have friends, American friends and non-American friends. I just use the word friends. OK sometimes smart or stupid-friends.
I'm against "hyphenated" Americans. Only those who hold duel citizenship should be
hyphenated. If an American wishes to acknowledge their heritage doesn't it make sense to be American-African, American-Mexican, America-Cuban...etc. There's no hyphen after the word American. If you must hyphenate please American first then your Hyphen.
Please pass it along, American then hyphen. If you must hyphenate at all..
