Still not true, yes, in some nations inheritance laws were a factor, but not the primary reasons, obvious the Irish left cause of poverty and famine, and those from central and southern Europe, including the Germans, largely because of economic hardships caused by the seemingly endless political unrest and turmoil in most of those nations throughout the Century. And the overpopulation theme doesn't even make sense

The Irish famine caused by British policies reduced the population of Ireland by a third. It's an example of a central government fucking up a local one and it's economy.

The Irish Potato Famine, also known as the Great Hunger, began in 1845 when a fungus-like organism called Phytophthora infestans (or P. infestans) spread rapidly throughout Ireland. The infestation ruined up to one-half of the potato crop that year, and about three-quarters of the crop over the next seven years. Because the tenant farmers of Ireland—then ruled as a colony of Great Britain—relied heavily on the potato as a source of food, the infestation had a catastrophic impact on Ireland and its population. Before it ended in 1852, the Potato Famine resulted in the death of roughly one million Irish from starvation and related causes, with at least another million forced to leave their homeland as refugees...
...The potato crops didn’t fully recover until 1852. By then, the damage was done. Although estimates vary, it is believed as many as 1 million Irish men, women and children perished during the Famine, and another 1 million emigrated from the island to escape poverty and starvation, with many landing in various cities throughout North America and Great Britain.
Legacy of the Potato Famine
The exact role of the British government in the Potato Famine and its aftermath—whether it ignored the plight of Ireland’s poor out of malice, or if their collective inaction and inadequate response could be attributed to incompetence—is still being debated.

Great replacement theory is to replace the seditious, insurrectionist and the enemy from within GQP and tRump etc. with criminal accountability as a terrible and unGodly atrocity against humanity and civilization on Earth. This as a failure that has proven to be incapable of supporting or co-existing in a civilized society, and who have also failed at being productive but the destructive opposite.

Shaken, not stirred!
A couple of years ago, radio personality Randi Rhodes was discussing the then growing epidemic or white supremacist violence and the rhetoric that was creeping into the national media. A caller pointed out that in around 1990 the NY Times ran an article that stated "white" people were actually the minority in the global population, and that by 2040 "white people" will become a minority population in the U.S.A.
The caller noted, "since that article came out, some people just ain't been right!"
20 years later, I dare say he was prophetic in his statement.
But what I find particularly interesting is that according to this "theory" you will have a version of apartheid rule in America, because these "replacement" theorist point to the current Democratic Party as the orchestrators of this power grab.
Last time I checked, the vast majority of the Dem Party is white, as is the DNC. So it would seem that our replacement theorists are only concerned about what kind of white folk pull their strings. So far they seem perfectly happy getting screwed over with 28 years of straight up reaganomics. Go figure. And useful idiots like Hannity, Carlson, O'Reilly, etc., are in a tax bracket that physically removes them from the very people they preach this nonsense to. Amazing.
Maybe one day, the "replacement theorist" will catch on to who is exactly "replacing them"...if at all.

Consider these details in terms of racial facts at making America great:
African American Workers Built America
This Black History Month, we celebrate Black workers, their achievements, and their dedication to work (a trait often attributed to white workers). We also must consider the steep challenges and structural inequities Black workers continue to face. Understanding that history contextualizes today’s fight to improve and expand African Americans’ access to higher paying jobs and economic success.
Black workers have endured a long history of discrimination, including restrictions from unions. Companies used Black workers as strike breakers to misdirect white workers’ anger and frustration. New Deal programs excluded Black agricultural and domestic workers. And 1930s “progressive” public benefits legislation such as the Social Security Act was actually pro-white legislation that neglects Black workers, especially women.
Historically, African Americans—especially women—have propped up the labor market, despite discrimination and hostility. As far back as 1870, 50 percent of Black women were in the labor force compared to just 16.5 percent of white women. Therefore, the famous wave of women entering the workforce in the 1970s applied only to white women. Black women who’ve always worked have been invisible to policymakers."

List of African-American inventors and scientists
This list of African Americans inventors and scientists documents many of the African-Americans who have invented a multitude of items or made discoveries in the course of their lives. These have ranged from practical everyday devices to applications and scientific discoveries in diverse fields, including physics, biology, math, and medicine.
African-Americans have been the victims of oppression, discrimination and persecution throughout American history, with an impact on African-American innovation. A 2014 study by economist Lisa D. Cook linked violence towards African-Americans and lack of legal protections over the period 1870–1940 to lower innovation.[1] Despite this, many black innovators have been responsible for a large number of major inventions.
Among the earliest was George Washington Carver, whose reputation was based on his research into and promotion of alternative crops to cotton, which aided in nutrition for farm families. He wanted poor farmers to grow alternative crops both as a source of their own food and as a source of other products to improve their way of life. The most popular of his 44 practical bulletins for farmers contained 105 food recipes using peanuts.[2] He also developed and promoted about 100 products made from peanuts that were useful for the house and farm. He received numerous honors for his work, including the Spingarn Medal of the NAACP.
A later renowned scientist was Percy Lavon Julian, a research chemist and a pioneer in the chemical synthesis of medicinal drugs from plants. He was the first to synthesize the natural product physostigmine, and a pioneer in the industrial large-scale chemical synthesis of the human hormones, steroids, progesterone, and testosterone, from plant sterols such as stigmasterol and sitosterol. His work would lay the foundation for the steroid drug industry's production of cortisone, other corticosteroids, and birth control pills.[3]"
