I don't think that one particular group of people are able to assume or claim responsibility for the greatness of America. Every group had their ties and contributions to America. Maybe some groups more than others, but NOT one FULLY responsible or able to COMPLETELY take credit. I won't go into a History lesson but just know that EVERYONE had some sort of influence to America's history.
I will have you know that a Scotsman had a hand in building America, Andrew carnegie! The first man to produce mass steal at an affordable rare, enough said!
Why I don't see Natives and Africans in this video? The U.S. was built with the blood and work of our Black and Brown ancestors as well, where is that contribution in this song?
lol @ the Irish and their hatred of us, they had their chance in 1892 but Parnell had fucked up, shame post 1922 all they wanted to do was blow themselves up to achieve a unification that was never going to happen
..We all have part in building of such a great country like America ..It s our land , we r building it even today ! Don t you ever thought that you rule the world !!America is not the the whole world ..God bless our world with less violence and selfish people Amen !
I,m an european, and my grandfather went to US one century ago, and started a new life. I think that i,ts a verry common story, so i think that americans are actualy brothers with europeans.
@MrMollypockets DUMBASS, U forgot the blacks and asians, and now the hispanics. Slave labor helped feed america and its trading economy. The asians built the railroads. And the hispanics are now doing the jobs u dont want!
By America Bono should have meant the American continent, because that's what America is: a continent built by billions of hands that came from the parts of the world. The US isn't the only one country in New World that received so many migrants. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, etc., also did.
@JordoF6 not exactly, it's an irish song about "hands that built America". Song and movie about immigrants like Paddies, Polacks, Guineas, Gooks, Niggers who were trying to have better life.
? i don't understand hahah I FUCKING LOVE U2 for me its better than him soo and i know that the title is the hands that built america, im not idiot, u2 is my favorite band...so i know a LOT about t hem
@it234561stfu about justin bieber please and enjoy this good music... This song is called 'The Hands That Built America', not 'The Hands That Destroyed America'.
My father told me we was all born of blood and tribulation, and so then too was our great city. But for those of us what lived and died in them furious days, it was like everything we knew was mildly swept away. And no matter what they did to build this city up again, for the rest of time, it would be like no one even knew we was ever here.
Yes, you should be proud that you are American/Irish/etc. And if you have a predisposition to colon cancer, you should be proud of that as well. It's all about the accident of birth after all, isn't it?
im irish, although the irish probably did the most to help build USA there was hundreds of other countries that did alot for USA especially Germany, Italy, Africa, Poland, Mexico, France, Russia, China, Japan and although Britain almost ruined USA as usual, they helped build it too after losing the war hehe. And so many unsung countries as well like Portugal and spain. "USA is more than a country its an idea"!. Bono
@irishanto3 Britain almost ruined it 'as usual'? Your country doesnt seem to think so badly of the English when you were begging us for money to save your shit hole country did you. Irish are good for nothing. Helped make the most fucked up country in the world? Well done, massive achievement by you low standards.
@St3v3z Fantastic use of the English language there you idiot! 6 grammatical errors, maybe you should go back to your council house and do what you do best...claim unemployment.
@griffo10 You call someone an idiot for grammatical errors on the internet ( LOL btw ) and then go on to pluck insults from thin air which are such moronic comments it is just amazing. I passed my English exams a few years ago mate. I have nothing to prove to you. If you cant understand what i said then your either braindead ( most probable ) or crying like a baby cos your Irish and you know what i said is true =) Have a great day.
@St3v3z Yes I decided to lower myself to your level with that comment :) Oh wow you passed an english exam, impressive, clearly you were not taught the difference between 'your' and 'you're' so your attempt at an insult just made you look even more foolish! (BTW I have a degree and two master's). I always enjoy the arrogance and pompousness of certain English people when Britian is just the US's bitch.
@griffo10 You talk of arrogance and pompousness whilst telling people who couldnt care less about your degrees. Hah. Irony is lost on people like you. And not once did i type 'your' when saying 'you are'. Reread what i said and realise how stupid you look right now. I fail to see why you think you're lowering to my standards. I stood up for my country when its insulted by a country that would be a disaster without our help. I couldnt care less what you think of me or my country. USA is a joke.
@griffo10 You cannot possibly be that anal about grammar whilst starting a sentence without a capital letter and not finishing it with a full stop. Seriously, too much free time 'homie'.
@St3v3z Your a tan and nothing less than one. Brits are the greatest burden on society the world has seen. The world wouldnt be in such a mess if he hadnt gone thieving and exploiting other continents for your greater good. Thus why the Irish had to emmigrate to America and other continents. Irish good for nothing?Good one. At least we dont bow to a greater being (Elizabeth). Very sad that ye pay tax to keep up this joke, NOW thats what i call good for nothing.No1 has a good word to say bout ye
@Parkratheniska If attempting an insult, use a term that makes sence to educated people please. The world has to be a mess because of the way money works. Money is made from other peoples debts. The econemy will always go up and down, its how it works. No arguement about the Irish being a waste of space so you bring up the Queen? Not sure why you'd think that would bother me. And lol at talking about people not saying good things about Britain. Irish are a bunch of Jipsey drunks then...
@St3v3z We beg for money? As far as I understand the law that Northern Ireland is part of the UK and the majority of NI want to be let go but you stinking British thieves just won't let us go.. We're your last land you own. Your not the big fish no longer your a burden on the fucking world look at your prime minister not accepting the EU your country is so fucked. They won't give you crap to develop to gain more financial.. Your race is fucking stupid paying good money to what? A queen! PFFT!
@ShabbyTheIrish If England is fucked i would love to hear your opinion on Irelands situation as its far worse than ours lol. I couldnt care less about being a 'big fish'. We are as big as any EU nation other than maybe Russia and Germany. And all countries pay tax. So your Queen comment is stupid. BTW NI pay just as much money to the Queen as i do =) And the whole world envies our royalty. America would give anything to have a similar history.
@St3v3z Since when is Russia a member of the EU? They're going out of their way to avoid the EU, even starting their own union with old Soviet states.

Rest in Peace to my Irish ancestors that came here and worked hard against all odds to build a better life. I wish they could see we are now a true part of America but we will never forget our heritage or their sacrifices. A beautiful song to a haunting movie.
@Heyichalisha Agreed my friend, agreed. We all have to know the Pain God to understand the beauty of Life. It is an ironic reality and I hate when I see horrible acts and wish we could all be of one mind set-to respect each other. We are all humans after all.
@7outof9gone In some situations, i think, nobody is a human, because they are inhuman! Do you understand what i mean? Sorry my english is not really good, im from germany! But do you know, Afgahnistan, Irak, my unkel was there, he was a unintentionally soldier, he wants to study Medical and then he must go to the war. He lives now in Gemany but the pictures never leav him!
@Heyichalisha Again, I truly understand. My brother John was in Vietnam. The horror of seeing children plant bombs to kill the Americans and seeing buddies die right beside him haunted him as well. As he put it he "couldn't chase the demons from his mind". 10 years after he came home he took his life. None of us will ever know what he went through and would certainly never judge. Have yr uncle seek help and try to be with him if you can. ctc me directly if u'd like. You're both in my prayers.
lol i wanted to learn this song on guitar i learned the bit where the edge is playing the keyboard then went on the the chordsmto find out the 1st chord was F#m my most hated chord the 1 chord of 3 i cant play lol
Music: a beautiful way of describing or elaborating on history.. This song portrays just that, and it's amazing its only reached just so few hits... U2 Abu!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
how is u2 popular, they are so boring and generic. listen to neil young, zeppelin, crosby stills and nash, bb king, the guess who, the animals, allman brothers and bob seger to name a few. these fuckers are a joke
@yojoeflow Go suck a fucking dick. Its just your fucking opinion against others. And I'm not saying all those people that you named are bad, but just keep the rude comments to yourself please. U2 has worked just as hard to get where they are now. And U2 sells out just as fast as other bands. So don't be haten.
Built America and still building America. Look out at the contractors and laborers that build town houses and sky scrapers, they had irish accents over a hundred years ago and still do to this day,, nothing can stop us from leaving the emerald isle and coming over to this beautiful country..!! síocháin agus sonas...
@SongsofJudas There's not only proudness to have to Irish. You are fightings eachothers for yours stupids religion. French people have give you a nickname.
Russian, Sioux, Dutch, Hindu,Polish, Irish, German, Italian,The Irish, the Blacks, the Chinese, the Jews,Korean, Hispanic, Muslim, Indian. The hands that built America.
@cullencutey How are you gonna skip the English. Without the English placing the the foundation to build upon no America would exist. Half of Americas most famous documents/politics/law are based off English ideas/standards.
Glad you included Sioux/NA's. I missed that first read.
I couldn't think of a better track to represent this movie; at the end of the movie, when New York was being rebuilt around the graves; as the graves crumbled and were long lost and forgotten, this song put the icing on the cake and enhanced the emotion I was feeling.
The brother of my granddad emigrated from Denmark in 1923 and died of hunger and disease in 1926 in New York City. The immigration was not always an adventure, but unfortunately the brother of my granddad could not find a reason in his pocket not to leave Denmark.
That was a good movie

how is u2 popular, they are so boring and generic. listen to neil young, zeppelin, crosby stills and nash, bb king, the guess who, the animals, allman brothers and bob seger to name a few. these fuckers are a joke

@yojoeflow Go suck a fucking dick. Its just your fucking opinion against others. And I'm not saying all those people that you named are bad, but just keep the rude comments to yourself please. U2 has worked just as hard to get where they are now. And U2 sells out just as fast as other bands. So don't be haten.

Built America and still building America. Look out at the contractors and laborers that build town houses and sky scrapers, they had irish accents over a hundred years ago and still do to this day,, nothing can stop us from leaving the emerald isle and coming over to this beautiful country..!! síocháin agus sonas...

@cullencutey How are you gonna skip the English. Without the English placing the the foundation to build upon no America would exist. Half of Americas most famous documents/politics/law are based off English ideas/standards.
Glad you included Sioux/NA's. I missed that first read.

I couldn't think of a better track to represent this movie; at the end of the movie, when New York was being rebuilt around the graves; as the graves crumbled and were long lost and forgotten, this song put the icing on the cake and enhanced the emotion I was feeling.

The brother of my granddad emigrated from Denmark in 1923 and died of hunger and disease in 1926 in New York City. The immigration was not always an adventure, but unfortunately the brother of my granddad could not find a reason in his pocket not to leave Denmark.
Fantastic song!
