I am sick and tired of refugees

[Ken The Kanuck]

The left somehow believes we should not check the refugees too deeply as it may offend them. Well this refugee and his liberal friends have offended me.

I understand your distress. We have been accepting and absorbing refugees since 1865. Most are OK, as long as they don't bring their ideas of good government with them. Regards, Clark

We get Californians that think they know what is normal for them should be normal for us. The one's being trooped in from the sand countries have fried brains.

.....man with no previous criminal record has been charged with the first-degree murder of 13-year-old Marrisa Shen.

...Police say Ibrahim Ali, who arrived in the country 17 months ago as a refugee from Syria,

....Shen went missing on July 18, 2017.

No previous criminal record in Canada. WTF was he running away from in Syria? The crime took place only two months after his arriving. How much as he gotten away with since?

[Allen]

At some point in time all criminals have no previous criminal record. This one had a record the instant he entered Canada as an illegal. No one went to Syria to pick him up or invited him to come.

It hasn't been established he was an illegal. He apparently entered Canada legally as a refugee on paper. The complaint is a warm welcome mat without proper vetting because that has somehow become politically incorrect. It's the authorities who are at fault here. Canuckia is suffering from the same candyassed crap as the lower 48.

What about their ideas of religion--sharia law, for ex., or veils forced on women. What about all their other alien cultural practices, such as Chinese (what a laugh!) medicine, which provides a lucrative market to wildlife poachers for the gallbladders of bears & other animal parts. As they are all over the world, orientals in this country are voracious consumers of endangered wildlife products, & countless stings have been conducted by fish & game authorities in the Chinese markets which (under the counter) sell endangered turtles, fish, reptiles, etc. Most (I didn't say all) of these people come to this country not to become "Americans" (whatever the hell that term means nowadays, if anything), but to enjoy the economic benefits this country offers, while continuing to live as much as possible exactly as they did in the Turd World places they ran away from.

Like African-Americans. They think their culture (that they never knew) is so great but want to live here. They can't let go of their ancestor's origin but would never dream of living in such a place. Though most of them were originally brought here against their will they have been free since 1865 to leave.

The people of Florida need to spread the word that pythons are good to eat.

Allen says another Allen-y thing. His observation about descendants of Africans applies equally to the organizers of every Irish-, German-, or Italian-fest. Can anyone say Bastille Day? Chances are there is a festival every July 14 within practical driving distance of everyone here.

All LEGIT parts of the true American experience, because US & European history have been intertwined since the beginning of the country--you recall Lafayette, Admiral DeGrasse, Kosciusko, Von Stuben, etc.? Because Africans were brought here as slaves (most calamitous mistake BY FAR in our history!) does not mean African culture & history played any significant role in the country's development.

[togor]

So you're an expert at African culture, CH? Making you qualified to make assertions about what did and did not survive the middle passage? Somehow I didn't figure that was an interest area for your personal attempts at serious scholarship. You try to de-legitimize blacks every chance you get. So tell me, what is the line that you expect descendants of former slaves to toe, and who are you that you believe you have any business drawing a line in the first place? God only knows if there are any black members of the forum left, veterans in all likelihood. Address a post to them, telling them why they don't count in your eyes. Man up and do it, or knock off your anti-black crap once and for all.

And these Europeans do not call themselves German-Americans, French-Americans and so forth. They, for the most part, became true Americans and gave up their past ways of doing things. Some of them were brought here as slaves as well. Probably more whites have been slaves than blacks including Native Indians. The people that the Spanish were in conflicts with were brought here as slaves too. The blacks were just among the latest and the ones that complained the most. Perhaps they were the only ones that were allowed to complain.

[clintonhater]

More expert, at least, than you, because I know who made the slave trade possible--other black Africans! Slave-traders were like any other traders--they obtained their merchandise from those who had it in their possession & would trade or sell it to them. Slave-trading would have died in a hurry if traders had been forced to do their own slave capturing.

The only blacks I'm "anti" to are those who demand special race-based privileges ("black privilege") & who support left-wing causes. If it's a statistical fact that blacks supporting left-wing causes constitute the majority of their race, that's not my doing, & I don't rate them one iota lower than the whites who support the same causes.

[togor]

So in other words CH, minorities that support your view of the cultural hierarchy are OK by you. If you get a little sloppy sometimes and forget to clarify that point, well your heart is in the right place and nobody should take offense. I bet you have a bridge to sell me too. Remember, I grew up in a place where lots of guys talked like you, and everyone knew the score. Then and now. It's the same language.

Funny you make claim they don't call themselves German Americans or Italian Americans Allen.... because within a short drive from my house I could take you to a place that has a large sign ...

GERMAN AMERICAN CLUB.... and even closer is one with a sign that proudly boasts ITALIAN AMERICAN CLUB ....and in the North East where I used to live there were many that just said FRENCH CLUB even though it had been a couple of generations since the members came south from Quebec ...

As far as Blacks adopting the title of African Americans .... maybe they just rightfully felt that it sounded better than being called niqqer ...and I'll stand with them on that .

[dryheat]

Screw the refugees.

[Mark in Ottawa]

Ken, I'm sure that our Prime Minister would call you a racist for your opinion (just as he did to an elderly lady in Quebec last week) but then I figure that that the perpetrator should be executed for this crime so who knows what Mr Trudeau would call me.

[barretcreek]

A large chunk of the knowledge required for planting and nurturing the plantation crops was from the African slaves. Indigo, rice and other non-native crops were the specialty of slaves,not the overseers.

[blackhawknj]

In the 19th Century refugees were usually taken in by communities of their own kind, no welfare handouts, public housing, etc. back then.

[jmm03]

Pythons are not good to eat?

[Vern Humphrey]

Not especially. When I was training troops in Singapore we used to kill, skin and cook a python as part of the survival training. I'd rather have a pork barbecue.

Most of the raghead refugees, like the Syrians, don't want to go to other Muzlim countries, because there they won't get the economic hand-outs provided by western countries.

Go to Chicago and leave the window open at night -- you can hear it.

Not necessary--just watch TV, esp. the commercials.

[dryheat]

A little off there CH. The commercials are just white commercialism. The audio is different.
