When someone brings up the great irish potato famine

The Irish Potato Famine did provide the impetus for many a Railroad Laborer to build
the 5 surveyed Transcontinental Railroads with CHEAP labor.

The 5 surveyed at the request of USA Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis
The Northern Route of which was carried out in part by George B. McClellan
and his aide de camp, Frederick W. Lander

The articles given align with the Civil War as a impetus. I am implying that the Potato famine argument does not resonate as how diversity is looked upon today.

...align with the Civil War as a impetus?
Strange, that these surveys happened 7-8 years prior to any talk of secession, let alone Fort Sumter.

The 5th route was the North South route from San Diego to Seattle, connecting the other 4 at various latitudes along the Left Coast.

Would some people involved prefer to use different sources as the primary source of Labor ?
-Irish Labor
-Chinese Labor
-Slave Labor

Which of these 3 groups was more likely to populate the west, after these railroads were functional ?

What would be a more cost effective Labor supply to build these rail lines ?

So here is a simple question for you: what came first slavery or the railroad? Right.

The beginning of labor movements as well

Labor Movements timing is sweet... right after Marx wrote Lincoln, through Adams

You should really do as Nola recommended and speak to a POC with this argument before commenting anymore, here or anywhere that matters.

Glad someone has appointed oneself a spokesperson for others,
making speech bound to ones whims and parameters.
Some may Imagine one Might make a great Moderator on an imgflip stream someday.

You have already done that. So when you retire I look forward to your endorsement.

Still an echo in here... quite hollow this cavern.

Say less

Eh, his soapbox is bigger than anything else about him (wink wink). So the fun will continue.

Is there an echo ?

What UrbanDwellersAlmanacc is trying to say even though people of color are the faces of today's DEI they should thank the white man.... LOL

Exactly! please white delegation wants Urban to sit down and zip it at this point. "We don't want that smoke"

Still talking. I bet you are great at parties.

Great point.
When you're the subject of the conversation, the pronouns all blush

Where did he say that?

Although back then you do have the beginning of demonstrations, marches, even riots... the beginning of labor unions...

So you may be (albeit unintentionally) on to something there.

And there it is...... no need to speak further.

More dodging.

Nah, you basically said we should all thank the white man by stating "Although back then you do have the beginning of demonstrations, marches, even riots... the beginning of labor unions..." And I was telling you to "say less" so you won't fall into that stereotype. But you went ahead face first falling into it...SMH

You are really missing the point here arent you?

What is the point in pointing out that others are missing the point ?
Or, is that your myopic point ?

I double dog dare you to go into an African american thread on reddit. And post this with your point that the famine and immigration of the Irish in the mid 1860s is the reason for diversity in america today...LOL Pretty sure the slave trade will be brought up several times.

Dude went back in history to add himself in a discussion about diversity TODAY. One that has nothing to do with either him or the Irish. Neither will be denied a job for having an ethnically related name.
