im not a leftist. you are delusional if u think that!
and last i heard, Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants hated eachother. i think that has an effect on you unless your one of those Wonderbread Irishmen.
I didn't say YOU were a leftist. But your brain has been filled with leftist stupidity.
It's had ZERO effect on me whatsoever.
Nor has the Saxon invasion of Britain, the Roman invasion of Britain or the Norman invasion of Britain turned the British into fat alcoholics!
i agree with you in that we can't keep using the past to point fingers or even justify the present. but without the past, there would be no present and history is whats building our future. Natives are originally from Asia. if you look at Asian Americans, they are successful more often then Natives.
There is obviously a reason for that.
Is that a reason to blame anybody today? No! It happened hundreds of years ago and that kind of mentality is only harmful to Natives themselves. But to deny that history has a bad effect on those poor people is crazy!
Obviously Europeans taking over other Europeans is gonna have a different effect because its still European cultures meshing, not one culture stripping another. If you were Irish today, and Ireland had been taken over by Turks for hundreds of years and they were still in power there, im sure it would have an effect on you. You would either be dead, become a Islamic Turk yourself, or be living as the scum of Turk society. I can tell you Ottoman Turks taking over the Balkans and raping my relatives had a great effect and thanks to them YOU now have 2 muslim states in Europe. I've seen the effect of this first hand which is why I believe what i do so strongly.
PS - from what i know Celts were also colonized in the Balkans at one time. The reason their presence in our history is not perceived as negative is because they weren't there to make us Muslim, strip us of our culture, or rape our relatives. Thanks Irish!
