So let me get this straight?

Because some people of a particular ethnicity did bad things hundreds of years ago, their descendants today deserve to be punished for it?

    That seems to be the illogical sentiment held by some.

    The worst thing was long ago but much has been added to it since then. For instance would you send your kids to the garbage schools where most blacks go. Sad part is this is best school has been for blacks since end of slavery and it's still pure garbage.

    Of course, you're purposely vague so we don't know what you're talking about. But let's take slavery, for one example.

    You might say slavery has been over for 100 years. But are their effects of slavery that still exist today? For instance, police brutality against the black community? For instance, institutional racism? For instance, economic policies that punish poor communities? For instance, a disproportionate number of black men in prison?

    These scumbag pieces of $hit muslims have been doing bad things for over 1,400 years and are still at it, so yes, they should be punished for it by not allowing them into our country.

    That appears to be the type of logic used by Islam and copied by irrational Leftists everywhere.

    That's it!

    (But I think there's a loophole. In the South, slave owners were all DEMOCRATS. Lincoln and the REPUBLICANS were in the North. So, whew...I'm spared White Guilt - I'm a Conservative!)

    Yep.

    Barack Obama even suggested that we should be willing to sacrifice a few thousand Christians in order to make amends to Muslims because of the Crusades of over 1000 years ago.
