Like the Irish were considered, along with Italians, to be sub-white.
They were considered like a lower group of whites.
And so they weren't wanted around.
And it's one of the reasons that so many Irish and Italians are cops is
because they were shunted into that working class tier of American workers who could be factory workers and who could be cops, which was considered a working class job.
They weren't allowed in the upper sort of Brahmin tier of whiteness.
They eventually were added because, you know, white folks wanted the numbers and they added them to whiteness.
But what she doesn't understand is that the people she's targeting,
not only are responsible for the building of the United States, the Haitians that she so despises, it was their revolution, Toussaint Louverture and the other Haitian Americans, who in the 18th century overthrew Napoleon Bonaparte's regime in Haiti,
They threw him out on his ass.
These enslaved people rose up, beat Napoleon, sent Napoleon scurrying back to France, and he was so wigged out by having lost so many men and seen so much death in Haiti that he was like, not only am I peacing out of Haiti, I'm peacing out of North America.
Remember, France helped us win our Revolutionary War.
They were our ally, and they continued to occupy much of the American continent.
But after losing to the Haitians, to Louboutin and that
Army in Haiti, they skedaddled and sold Thomas Jefferson 40% of the current United States.
The Louisiana Purchase is why we have everything west of the Mississippi.
So we literally obtained 40% of the land that we claim as United States.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, no, it's my Wi-Fi.
I'm sorry.
