The plan sucked balls but they still almost took it and probably would have completely cut off the British's control of the great lakes had they succeeded. Very few people here know of that.

And you were just an English outpost then you silly goose.The American educational system does a HORRIBLE job of educating kids on history
Math and sciences are deemed much more important.

why is it that only whites can be racists?
You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK.
But when I call you, "******", "Kike", "Towelhead", "Hoggy" or "Sand-******", "Camel Jockey", "Beaner" or "Chink" you call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live
You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi
You have the NAACP.
You have BET.
If we had WET(white entertainment television) we'd be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists.
If we had white history month, we'd be racists.
If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we'd be racists.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us.
But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him racist.
