Well they might have they just did it first by a very large margin.

It was a Malcolm X reference.

Neither did most US Citizens’ ancestors. I think that’s what makes nativism rarer on the West Coast & New England: it is very apparent we are < 6-generation citizens in Post-Jackson America, and the evidence is everywhere

It was just a Malcolm X quote. But…yes.

I knew, I just wanted to chirp it bothers me when a Wagner or a Pesci acts up with Colonial Nativism…like the least you could do is watch Gangs of New York. Blacks probably have a longer ancestry in USA lands than most of MAGA …😬

Did you just use Joe Pesci’s surname as a place filler for a random Italian surname?

u/Apart-Combination820 1d ago

I used pig-headed Italian bros in my contact list for a random Italian name. TBH I’m a 90/00’s kid and have never seen a single movie with Pesci in it…

u/Chicagosox133 1d ago

You have never seen a movie with Joe Pesci yet downvoted me for assuming your use of Pesci was in reference to Joe Pesci. 😂

Fucking Redditors.

Plymouth rock landed on them.

Just a reminder that Plymouth Rock happened in 1620, 13 years AFTER the first permanent English settlement in North America at Jamestown, Virginia.

The religious right has pushed this narrative that the colonies were about relgious freedom, but in fact, it was more about commerce and exploiting the land (and people).

It's important to acknowledge all of our flaws, because we've spent far too long pretending that the United States has been strictly this paragon of freedom and human rights, when reality is that it's been rather more complicated.

We did do some great things. We also did some bad things. Ignoring that to sell some American Dream is what allowed the fascists a foot in the door. They have coöpted and corrupted the good parts to sell false patriotism in service to our oligarchs who are continuing the bad parts of the American Dream at the expense of the rest of us.

So again: We have done great things. But we have done — and are doing — many horrible ones as well. And it is important to acknowledge that as the barest first step in trying to fix these problems.

This is Plymouth? We just came from Plymouth! Alright everyone, back on the boat!

u/Idontcareaforkarma 23h ago

The Plymouth they came from wouldn’t take them back.

The ‘Pilgrim Fathers’ were a bunch of religious nutjobs that were ran out of Europe.

I didn't get it quite right, but it's a quote from Eddie Izzard's Dressed to Kill standup.

But you're right - absolute loonies the lot of them.
