Re: Benjamin Franklin on "Whites"
What a ridiculous statement, though it seems to reflect the ignorance of the time. The mere assertion that the only white men are English and Saxons is ludicrous, even if one was not as knowledgeable of European tribal/ethnic origins as some are today. I would gladly stand in a trench with a Swede, Frenchman, Italian, or Spaniard against some of the real enemies we face today.
