Innuendo and snide remarks.

African Americans have been in this country longer than most white people. My family came from Italy and Poland in the 20's. I am just a second generation­ American. African Americans had more to do with the building of this country than my family did and I would like to thank them for welcoming us to their shores. As immigrants my grandparents did suffer some discrimination from other whites but none from Blacks.As for the people who can trace their history to the 16th century.,a­ll I can say is that immigrants did a lot of the back breaki­ng work to build this country and deserve respect,as does the President of the United States. I for one am getting tired of all the innuendo ans snide remarks. It just shows a lack of breading and parenting.
The only reason this country became great so fast were the immigrants who came to this shore with great ideas and a hard will to educate themselves and their children. My families third generation of children all have their College Degrees.  I often wonder if some of the problems we face in education is a direct result of inbreeding from our early settlers. I know it sounds mean but how else do you account for such ignorance from a people with so many riches and opportunities open to them?
