Do you feel what Jack Nicholson's character said in his opening is correct? Do you agree with his philosophy?


"The Knights of the Columbus were REAL head-breakers, true guineas. They took over their piece of the city. 20 years after an Irishman couldn't get a job, we had the f**kin presidency, may he rest in peace. That's what the n***ers don't realize. If I've got one thing against the black chappies, it's this; No one gives it to ya; you have to take it."




Dude completely ignores that fact that Irishman are white and America has always been a white-lead country. If you're white, acquiring leadership is astronomically easier than if you're anything else. It's weird that he implied that black people just sat around and waited to get what they wanted. They fought, got tortured, lynched, and murdered in large quantities until they got a semblance of what they were after.

I dont fully agree obviously. But , the Italians and the Irish have always been discriminated against by American people. Not as much as the blacks, but, still, if their name ends with a vowel,people will look down to them. LIke in Sopranos.

with a brief viewing of Kennedy's bio. I would say that in the roam of the game of politics he certainly knew how to gather the votes, of capturing a diverse opinion and voices from the cabinet.

as for comparing that to the blacks.

I could also even draw to the same comparison of the Japanese after World War 2.


If I needed to, I would even comfortably tell you that I wouldn't be one bit surprised if World War 4 was initiated roughly 70-100 years from now, pending on where you believe the seed of divergence and conflict occurs.

the question that comes down to, is really whether or not, humanity has its own limits.

Some may say no, but others, will simply look and say "what are our bonds" and begin the journey of wonder.

And if that is the unfortunate start of war.

I stand by my case in regards to my question of humanity.


I don't look for those that's been misused, mistreated, have the appetite for hatred to be on my side. I look for those who have accepted such fact, and prove a simple act.
