My family came to America in 1910 from Ireland and my Greatgrandfather had to change his last name and spend every night perfecting the american accent so he could get a job.

oh man, that's just as bad as slavery.

What does that even mean? We're talking about modern racism, not slavery. Y Draig was just stating the true fact that blacks are not the only people who have ever been discriminated against, in fact, in the early 1900s, Irish, and many other groups, were treated just as bad.

But I'm the real loser here for responding to an anonymous poster.

if we are talking about modern racism then why is he talking about his family in 1910? do you think the irish are still discriminated against? minorities are still discriminated against all the time and if you don't think so then you are an idiot. there is even a thread on this board about the "ugliest nigger" or something to that effect.
