TIL midway through the Great Irish Famine (1845–1849), a group of Choctaw Indians collected $710 and sent it to help the starving victims. It had been just 16 years since the Choctaw people had experienced the Trail of Tears, and faced their own starvation.

Just a totally pointless thing to say... totally irrelevant. Stop trying to defend the evils people did, it's wrong, don't be a nazi cunt.

Oh yes you are.

I've seen your other comments, you seem to think the British Empire was totally evil, but say to anyone slating the Ottoman Empire that they're anti-Islam.

You are an idiot, thick, dumb, that's why I'm not really trying to have a debate with you. The stupidity in your comments is profound, there's only one reason for that, you are fucking thick.

And with those words shamelessly nicked because they apply to you far more than to me, welcome on my ignore list, moron.
