[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most African Americans have a fair amount of European blood. Where do you think that European blood came from?

The irony is that many African Americans themselves are descended from white slave owners. A typical Irish American family that immigrated 100 years ago probably has zero slave owner blood. [/quote]

Ah, so they benefitted from slavery, is that your point? WTF.[/quote]

Just pointing out the hypocrisy of expecting whites to atone for having slave-owning ancestors, when a large percentage of black folks have just as much slave owner ancestry. [/quote]
^^Who let this mouth breather enter the thread? If you're representative of lower class whites being shut out by Harvard, then thank heavens the admissions committee is doing its job. You are a foolish liar if you claim not to know that white blood entered the black population through rape and slave ownership and that stigma attached to black skin continues to operate in America in ways that whites, regardless of ancestry, do not experience. Your post is just good enough for me to print out and take a shit on.[/quote]
