I agree Cubano, that I should temper my arguments. I'll try to in the future. Being nice all the time can be a strain, when others aren't so nice. :)

People like me, or you people. AGAIN, you're reading into things far too much, and reading other things far too little. I'll take either term. BLANKET STATEMENT is the key word in that sentence... You're mad that I am prejudiced against those who are prejudiced??? Whatever, you're all over...

For those of you who think that slavery is the reason that african americans would be angry, here's a little Jim Crow education for you. http://www.ferris.edu/news/jimcrow/what.htm This stuff was happening in the 60's. Grandparents and parents of people alive today lived under this type...

You are absolutely right. I am tired of all the crap that I see in this world, and I believe it will not change until people get polarized and stand up for their beliefs. A racist doesn't have much of an intellectual argument for their beliefs. Neither does someone who is prejudiced. I...

YOU didn't read or comprehend the posts. I didn't ask the question of El cubano, until he came forth with his stance on african americans and marriage. He's not even WHITE, so you're argument is bullshit. I never asked you either, so you can keep your views as private as you like, which you...

swtrader Did you read the posts? Racist and prejudice are different. It takes a sicko to be racist, but it's easy to be prejudiced. If you are prejudiced in PRIVATE, that's still not right. What is worse, someone who hates you and is up front about it? Or someone who hates you and...

Like I said, you're not a racist. And I apologize. You are prejudging though... Work on that :) Prejudice is much more subtle than racism. Peace!

Just because you wouldn't care if I called you racist names, doesn't mean that everyone would agree with you. I commend you for being able to "take it", but how could you condemn someone for standing up against ignorance? I'm sure you have a good heart, which is why it's so disappointing...

Yes, it means you are racist, and prejudiced. It's hilarious that you would spout such crap and then qualify it with "but I'm not a racist". Would you be angry if I didn't want my daughter to marry a Cubano? You are obviously prejudiced. That means you are PRE-JUDGING ALL BLACK MEN. MEN...

Btw, just because someone is an immigrant, does not preclude them from racism/prejudice. Africans are discriminated against in most anglo countries. I was mugged in europe and the first question the police asked me was, "Was he black?" My reply was, "Does it matter?"

swtrader, I simply mean that I have sympathy/understanding for someone who has been oppressed, and finds fault with the majority. Why should I have sympathy for a racist white person, who has NO good reason to hate, other than to perpetuate the status quo? Actually, the more I think about...

I love when people bitch about immigration without realizing that the apple they are eating was picked for .0000000000000000001 cents... I'd like to see them give the "we're making it too easy on immigrants" argument to their great-great grandfathers, a year off the boat in the 1920's...

I hope you don't feel that we are victims of being priced out of those markets? We're too lazy/rich to pick fruit in the fields for less than minimum wage. Or for minimum wage at that. When I was young I detassled corn for 3 weeks in the mud until I realized that a restaurant job was a...

Immigrants are "tougher" work ethic-wise than most americans. Many of us wouldn't survive in their world for a week. When you go from collecting wood daily for cooking, and no available work in a terribly poor society, to the land of McDonald's, 7-11, and many underpaying, back breaking...

:) hehe

I think that the "cultural work ethic" of most impoverished, badly educated people is bad. Hillbillies aren't known to be very educated or motivated. :)

TM, in my experience, they are still getting screwed today. I could cite many examples. There's nothing wrong with trying to bring up the lower classes in our society. Especially those that have been, and are still getting - shit on.

Good post max. A few exceptions tho... Poverty breeds crime, no matter what your color. The actual equation is poverty leads to substance abuse, and that leads to crime. If we fix the poverty issue, we'd move forward leaps and bounds. Secondly, segregation still exists today in 2...

If "they" need to band together, then you are supporting the argument that "they" are getting the short end of the stick. What else would they be banding together against?

Since you can't draw the correlation, I'll make it for you. African americans are still segregated to an extent. Since the majority of african americans are poor, and live in the inner city, who do you think think are both the victims and commitors of crime in the inner cities? Here's a...
