[quote=Anonymous]And the difference is that of the groups you listed, only one came to this country treated as dehumanized property, forcibly separated from family, language, culture and continuity of human experience. Every other immigrant group arriving, despite the prejudices and hardships they faced, maintained some type of family structure and cultural continuity even while assimilating. The legacy of dehumanization (and the effects flowing from it) stay with us to this day. It is a testament to human resilience and endurance that the violent "critical mass", as you put it, is as small as it is. And I am not trying to excuse violent criminals. The leftist progressive policies of DC have been a disaster. Violent people need to be confined, and we need better rehabilitation. But don't blame one group of people without recognizing the unique and horrific treatment of that group within the context of American history.[/quote]
