<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2202364, member: 19463&quot;]The racism of these countries is encouraged by US officials who tend to forget that those of us on this side of the Atlantic have just as many Great-----Great Grandfathers from what was the Roman Empire as anyone in Italy or any other of these anti-collector countries.&nbsp; Perhaps they have claim on material property found on their land but they can not claim sole ownership of Cultural Property above the rest of us who are equally related to the persons shown on or who spent those coins 2000 years ago.&nbsp; The fact that we were not born over there does not change the fact that we are descended from and have every right to be interested in the coins of our forefathers.&nbsp; Does that mean that I should not be allowed to collect Indian, Chinese, Russian or whatever else there is?&nbsp; That attitude is just as racist as those who believe that only &#039;Americans&#039; should be allowed to work in &#039;America&#039;.&nbsp; The difference is that this Cultural Racism is supported by the politically correct administrations that run Western governments.&nbsp; Ask the 21 people currently running for US President where they stand on Cultural Racism.&nbsp; Not one will know to what you refer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
