At one point in American history, Italian immigrants were considered comparable to black people...

why were irishmen discriminated against in america?

>Italians came from a place with already established knowledge

Uhtalians may have been Latinz and shit, but African were kings. KIANGZ!

you're right, that's why I'm not making shit like that up.

I don't understand what you're getting at even. I didn't excuse niggers in my post. They might as well be just less intelligent by nature, I wouldn't know and don't really care. But do you seriously think that slavery had no impact on the development of their communities and that its history had absolutely zero effect?

Jews were slaves and they became the most powerful ethnic group in the world.

IQ

Are you leftards really that stupid? The Roman Empire practiced slavery for hundreds of years and before that Arabs, Turks, North Africans, and other semites endlaved people from the Italian peninsula for a good portion of the last 20,000 years

>The opportunity for that to happen has never even vaguely presented itself to Blacks.
Bullshit.

For nearly half a century. Academic institutions have gone OUT OF THEIR to take in black students, even if it means shirking white, asian and even hispanic students in the process

Yet instead of getting into something useful like medicine or finance, they opt to get into afro-american studies and other meme degrees that are next to useless. They have been given more free handouts than any other class in American history, yet they still refuse to integrate. How much longer is going to be seen as an issue of Slavery and Discrimination and not a matter of irresponsibility and squandered opportunities?

Putting aside your tinfoil, this is a terrible comparison on its own. Do I really need to break it down to you how much it isn't the same? And do you seriously, unironically, not meming, think that prolonged slavery, lack of education in a culture and lack of foundation will not cause some sort of effect on a group? Even minimal?

>How much longer is going to be seen as an issue of Slavery and Discrimination and not a matter of irresponsibility and squandered opportunities?

This. Compare with Jews in 1940s. The Jews managed to go from being genocided and oppressed to forming an entire nation and become the most powerful ethnic group in the world in under 50 years.

>Jews were slaves
On top of everything else stupid about this post, this just isn't true. Exodus is a lot of WE WUZing.

>Jews claiming to be slaves

That's stupid. Who claims to be oppressed? I'd be claiming we wuz kiangz and shit, not being enslaved.

Jews weren't oppressed before the rise of Nazism and already had intellectual foundation.

Sure. Just the way the question is posed shows this framing and this difference. Obama is also of Irish descent, and there's no 'explaining' to be done about how and why he's president.

Obama is a particular black person who's allowed to head the political structure of the United States. This does not represent any fundamental shift in racial identity in America. The demographics didn't suddenly shift with 2008. Nobody saw Obama get elected and though 'hey, I guess Tyrone and Jamal are white now.'

>Hitler wanted to eradicate the Jewish influence on media, intellectual discussion and the culture as a whole in Europe
>but they were definitely oppressed

Historically illiterate replies, yep, checks out, I'm definitely on good ol' Veeky Forums.

If at any point in the present blacks have yet to "opt in to white culture" it is because they -refuse- to (for whatever number of reasons)

Italians were never lynched en mase, it only happened in one isolated case and it was because a bunch of Italians killed two cops so they kinda deserved it

They were never segregated too.
In the South they drank and eat at the same places as whites

Racism against Dagos and Micks is extremely overrated, it's like the meme We Wuz Kings

>nobody ever discriminated against jews before the Nazi party came to power

Answer the fucking question you dumb fucking stormfag

1500 isn't the same as 1800-1900 user, and whatever was between, it wasn't outright slavery.

It's usually /pol/'s job to scream logical fallacies at the opponent, but this time I'll do it too: nice strawman.

Incidentally it's also usually /pol/'s job to commit them.

>it was because a bunch of Italians killed two cops so they kinda deserved it

nu uh, they was good boys.

>1500 isn't the same as 1800-1900 user, and whatever was between, it wasn't outright slavery.

poor idiot. Italian is a country. Not ethnicity. God, the question is so dumb...

Forget you are white (and the dream that you are a gift) and start studing and cleaning your butthole

Simply put, blacks were let out of slavery TOO EARLY. And no I don't mean this in any racist way. By the time slavery was abolished, there have been generations where the only things blacks knew was "how to be a slave."

Blacks should have continued to be slaves until they were taught how to be civil, learn things other men could do, and above all, be taught morals. Of course, with all the KKK members and racists around, its not like anyone had much morals anyway.

Blacks were poorly integrated intro society during the reformation era. Nobody took it upon themselves how to teach these masses of slaves how to be decent fucking human beings, and of course the end result is the African Americans we have today.

>Italian is a country

>Italian
>Not ethnicity

...

>white hispanics
Can someone explain this fucking stupid and gross meme?

What the fuck is a """White Hispanic"" in America anyway?

Salma Hayek? Charle Sheen? an average illegal beaner?

This white hispanic bullshit needs to stop. There's a big racial difference between Salma Hayek and Charlie Sheen and even bigger between an illegal beaner

In order to be white hispanic you should prove your ancestors came from Iberia, not that you have a drop of Spanish blood and the rest if Native genes
>Pic related, how is he fucking white?

Funniest topic on Veeky Forums at the moment.

>He's still posting
Seriously, fuck off

Dude let go of the memes. There's been extensive research on the subject, modern Italians are basically the same genetically as they were during the iron age. Italy is not a melting pot.

isn't the same as 1800-1900
>he doesn't know that Jews were segregated into pogroms in Russia, were integrated into french society only by the reforms of Napoleon III, and were still largely vilified in Italy and Germany

The upper class of Jews may have entertained an enormous control on entertainment and media industries, but the middle class of them wasn't as favored as they were.

Hahahahahahaha. Good 1 m8. Let's just forget the fact that Sicilians and Southern Italians have a significant amount of semitic, albanian, and slavic blood

>What the fuck is a """White Hispanic"" in America anyway?
Well, Hispanic is a culture, not a race/ethnicity so anybody from a Afro-Colombian, to a mestizo in Guatemala, a 100% native Peruvian, a 100% Spaniard Cuban or a straight up ginger (pic related) could be counted as hispanic

Come the fuck on, man. Even /pol/ resolved this shit ages ago

You don't need to forget what isn't true user. Sicilians and calabrian have some greek blood, but that's it, the rest is memes.

Even if it wasn't as favored, it still wasn't as oppressed as it is given, they had liberties. And whatever their conditions were throughout the ages, it wasn't as bad as slaves as the other anons try to present.

>putting Russian Jews, Polish Jews, German Jews in one category of rights

They can't change the color of their skin, genius.

If an Italian man marries an American woman or sends his children to an American school, after only a couple of generations, he will have descendents who are Italian in name only- and some won't even have his surname.
If you want to ban Italians from your store, you're going to have the ask every customer for their surname and family history.
If you want to discriminate against blacks, you can spot them from across the street.

>slavic

???

> and before that Arabs, Turks, North Africans, and other semites endlaved people from the Italian peninsula for a good portion of the last 20,000 years

What the fuck am I reading...

...

>20,000 years
He's trolling you, disregard him.

It doesn't matter what the color of their skin is.

What matters is that they're still acting like niggers, no matter what anybody (including particularly influential black leaders) tries to do about it.

Still to present, we look down on the white trash, hoodlum Cholos and Hmong street gangs all the same. But the difference being; While the larger body of self respecting whites disown the White trash, as do the Hispanics and Asians with their respective delinquents, the situation with blacks is reversed; The larger body of delinquents disowns the sane people who want to get their life back on track by branding them an 'Uncle Tom' or some other race traitor

I'm not saying slavery and historic discrimination didn't cause problems.

I'm not saying the aftermath of it still isn't felt today

What I am saying is that it is FAR from being the only thing wrong with the Black community in the states

And that furthermore, it is not THE biggest problem they face

>as do the Hispanics

I don't know about that one

Italy has the highest IQ in Europe right now after Finland

Not even close to being true. Data is from the Wealth of Nations people, updated 2012

Unadjusted in case you think I'm trying to bullshit you

Dude stop. IQ is halfway bullshit already, and no study of any real value has ever been made at the national level.
Look here: iq-research.info/en/page/average-iq-by-country
Done by the same fucking people too.
Apparently italians were the smartest euros in 2006, how does that happen? It happens because IQ studies are done with laughably sized champions every single fucking time, so they're always so imprecise it's pointless to bother with them.

That's a rather nihilistic viewpoint. Anyone who succumbs to poverty or drug abuse has to be excluded from society? Eventually everyone will.

>Anyone who succumbs to poverty or drug abuse has to be excluded from society?
Never said that

>the larger body of self respecting whites disown the White trash

I'm not talking about the people who made honest mistakes in their life. I'm talking about the lost causes that will always be trash no matter how much time, effort and money you throw their way (which sad to say is many more people in the world than the innocent mind is comfortable to acknowledge)

How is this not true? Trailer park whites are treated as bad as niggers.

>Gypsies, Spanish, and Hispanic trash
>only one or two people in that picture are actually "full" Italian

>A half white guy

Yeah, explain Obama user.

White Hispanics don't usually do that, at least not around here anyway. Some Cuban guy started to curse me out because I thought he was just a generic White American.

Tyrone (who's name is Irish) and Jamal are probably closer to white people than actual Africans are anyway. The average black American is 20-25% European after all (but no ones gonna call them white or mixed race).

Salma Hayek is half Lebanese (who are considered white in America) and half Spanish. Charlie Sheen is 1/4th Spanish and the rest Irish (last I recalled). What a terrible example user. If being a White Hispanic means you have to have full ties to Iberia, then Salma has a better chance than Charlie.

Besides, I've seen Spanish women with similar features to her before.

Because Americans stopped being racist against white people.

Source?

I'd like someone who actually knows what they're talking about to expound this. Were some parts of America (especially the south) not ready and unable to cope with the abolishment of slavery?

Blacks moved up north into the big cities and native-born white Americans realized that they had much more in common with white foreigners than with blacks, and later the growing numbers of Mexican and Asian immigrants.

For the same reason Hispanics are now, large numbers of them were emigrating over here.

>Reply
Because an Italian can take relatively easy efforts to "disguise" themselves as white like getting rid of their accents, dressing like locals, taking American sounding names (Robert, Mark and Anthony instead of Roberto, Mario and Antonio for instance) etc. Blacks on the other hand unless they were like 7/8ths white could always be picked out visually no matter how much they assimilated in all the ways that matter. Thus Italians could escape persecution by not being identifiable and thus prosper while blacks could not.

But, as pointed out earlier in this thread, contemporary American society actively tries to include blacks, selecting them because their black, into programs that promote upward social mobility. Blacks are still underperforming in universities and have lower IQs even if they were raised in the same environment as rich whites and received the same education.

Just because things are better for Blacks today doesn't mean everuhings peachy. Those policies you've pointed out have increased achievement among Blacks, who today are in general less poor and better educated than they used to be. However even with these gains they have employment problems because of the "last hired, first fired" It's a known fact that if you give most managers two resumes identical except for race, 9/10 times the black doesn't get the job. This extends to promotions, jury convictions, you name it.

Because there was time inbetween to recover. The Jews are no doubt the most oppressed group of people in history. They've been enslaved, ghettoised, deported, and straight up murdered among other things. They endured that for hundreds if not thousands of years, the Slavery lasted, at it's absolute longest, 150 years in the US. Jim Crow laws lasted another 100. Thats a maximum of 250 years of oppression for blacks, in many areas of the US it was significantly shorter. Almost three generations have passed since the last remnants of institutionalised oppression last left the US.
