PUH-LEEEEEZE... I did not think you would even bring up that non-argument, which is why I didn't address it in the post... 'we're all from there originally'... do I need to spell out the difference between having an ancestor from Africa 100,000 years ago, and having ancestors who were forcibly ripped away from Africa only a couple hundred years ago?
Anyway it's interesting how bible literalists will usually dismiss scientific findings out of hand, but if said scientific findings coincide with their agenda, they'll be happy to accept them.
No one said anything about the term repatriation being exclusively for African people. If you are of primarily Irish descent, you could repatriate to Ireland, no question.
