How does this make you feel?

Yet you constantly bombard us with stories about your mistreatment at the hands of others due to your skin color.


Most, if not all of us realize that racism still exists in this country (I've got a doozy of a story about the time my Uncle and I stumbled unwittingly into a vaquero bar downstate  ), but we chose to not see the world or the people in it through skin tones.


You are the one who is constantly bringing up race and your oppression at the hands of others. And until you can get past your hang-ups regarding the color of people's skin, you will always find the racist boogeyman hiding in every shadow.

really constantly bombarding you?  what does that mean, a hundred times a day?  a week? a year? or you just dont want to hear the couple of stories I have mentioned.  and you mention I am bringing up race?  really, look up on this thread who was the first one to bring it up.

and I am so racist that I am willing to be homeless to pay to keep the girl I love healthy even though she's not even my own color.  and i will spend every single nickel i have left, praying she gets better, that's how racist I am.

One of my closest friends is a second generation Latino immigrant.  He is proud of his Mexican heritage but is still patriotic to America.  He is very smart, speaks better English than I do, is a hard worker and he is a proud supporter of our military.  His family moved to LA from Mexico looking for work, but was eventually forced to move because of the gang violence that also moved to LA.

My problem isn't the immigrants, it's all the drugs and violence that they seem to bring with them.

on the other hand my gf and I go to a restaurant a few months ago.  she's white I am not.  the place is almost empty as it was early lunch.  the hostess ask us to wait a few minutes so we say ok.  2 white guys walk in and the hostess says follow me this way and have them seated.  we didnt file a lawsuit or said anything to the hostess other than it wasnt right turned around and left.

for every case people that is  filed of frivolous discrimination suit there's hundreds and thousands of people that clearly have a case but they chose not to do it.

You're implying that they were seated ahead of you simply because they were white and you are not.

Were they the store owners?  The owner's kids?
Did they have reservations?
Were they meeting a party already seated?
Were they known regular customers?

There are non-white folk who filter all their observation through a lens of prejudice. If you go to a large corporate office and tell a hundred people there that someone brought free fried chicken to share for lunch. Guaranteed, at least one person is going to jump out of their chair and say "What are you saying about me!"

discriminating is still discrimination.  I do agree based on my life experience is  that all colors have a small minority that is as racist as they come.  but I have also seen some people that were racist turn around and admit how wrong and stupid they were.  one was my own uncle who was as racist as they come and now realizes how stupid he was.

edit: gyrene probably the only reason for the headlines is the same reason laci peterson made headlines while several other woman got killed that same week.  only what the media think is gonna sell gets reported.

Why don't you just say Evelyn Hernandez and be done with it?  (even though she was murdered 10 months beforehand)  In addition, there were hundreds of people looking for Peterson before the police got involved, hence the media attention.

really constantly bombarding you?  what does that mean, a hundred times a day?  a week? a year? or you just dont want to hear the couple of stories I have mentioned.  and you mention I am bringing up race?  really, look up on this thread who was the first one to bring it up.

Just because you shell out money to your live-in white vagina, does not mean that you are non-racist.  Bad example.  There are plenty of people in an inter-racial relationship that are still racist.

Referring back to companies that move overseas for cheap wages.....there are companies leaving California every day--for Texas.....the taxes and regulations in Kali are simply too ponderous

Imagine if the moon was made of cheese. Would you like a slice?

Govt - "dear businesses + corporations of America, we propose to reduce the amount of profit that you make"

It won't happen for the same reason that laws don't get passed to stop big business effing over the environment, or outsourcing everything to the East.

$$$$$$$$$

The government itself is outsourcing.......

Exactly like this..

I believe a society is healthier when there is at least some shared culture, including language, rather than large groups who have only an economic relationship with America, arriving in huge numbers, creating "zones" where there is zero pressure to assimilate.

Truth only annoys the ears of those who don't want to hear it.

You're accusing him of beign the source of a lot of this noise, that you have such an opinion agaisnt hearing about, yet I don't see his name as the OP of this topic/thread or the others.

He's not a biggot semp, he's just stupid and full of hate.

You don't want to hear about this type of stuff, go back into your hole or put on the gloves to nip it at the bud.

[Melvin]

He's not a biggot, semp, he's just stupid and full of hate.
