quote: ORIGINAL: 1dblthnk02 Now, this doesn't sound so terrible on the surface, but I find it very humiliating. I have seen road blocks set up on major highways stopping travelers to see if their "papers are in order," i.e. license, registration, insurance, etc. This is exactly what Communist Russia used to do to their citizenry at county borders. This is not the kind of freedom that my grandfather and uncles fought for. A country that racially profiles and legally suppresses the people's ordinary travel isn't the America that I was raised in. It's my guess you really get upset at all the paper work and checking that goes when you purchase a firearm too... Talk about Communist Russia... John

quote: ORIGINAL: tracydolls We are too racist of a country not to have race involved. Is every american a racist , of course not. Should we arrest everyone that looks like one? Why are'nt we building a fence on the Canadian border, terrorists and illegals come thru there also. Why don't we build fences along the coasts, they flying, coming on ships, etc. If you are not Native to America, your an illegal alien here. It can 1 or 10 generations away. But who can prove citizenship all the way to the first american forebear. Which has all their papers? I say build the fence, so when the time comes , we are sealed in this mess we call America. Do you live behind four walls? john

quote: ORIGINAL: 1dblthnk02 quote: ORIGINAL: rcjames I still maintain that if Clintno figures a way to win this primary; the true "color" of Obama's supporters will come out with rioting in the streets (just as Sharpton predicted or more properly threatened). A link to Sharpton's words would have been very helpful here. But, I disagree anyway. Obama's supporters are not going to literally riot in the streets simply because he does not win the primary. That idea is ludicrous. Why? This would be typical Sharpton fueling the fires of race to keep himself afloat... John

There is major paper work and checking in all kinds of important money transactions. None of them involve racial profiling nor dragging innocent bystanders into the transaction. Roadblocks and unwarranted investigations are not hallmarks of a free nation: you know, the kind of freedom you would jealously protect with firearms . . . quote: Why?

quote: ORIGINAL: SovereignIsHe The checks I have to go through to buy a gun make a roadblock stop look like a nice time You are missing the point: you purchase a firearm willingly and knowingly concerning the background checks, paperwork, etc. No one pulled you over and made you go through it on the basis of your looks, or simply because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. quote: If you wish to know by all means search the web I did.

I asked the relevent obvious next question. How many illegal aliens in this country are white haired and blue eyed? Why would the police stop someone who obviously is not an illegal alien of suspicions of being an illegal alien? If you were a policeman on the look out for illegal aliens would you stop all the white blonde blue eyed people? Would you question the ones you did encounter?

That's it right there: do you see your prejudiced assumption? You assume that an "alien" looks Mexican, when in fact an illegal "alien" can be any non-citizen here without proper documentation. Immigrations laws are supposed to be the issue, not phenotypes. quote: If you were a policeman on the look out for illegal aliens would you stop all the white blonde blue eyed people? Border patrol should be concerned with one thing, and one thing only: proper documentation.

ok let's turn this stat around quote: 57% if white males voting for Clinton is racist, but 92% of blacks voting for Obama is not racist. 57% of black males voting for Obama is racist, but 92% of whites for Clinton is not racist It silly either way. We know it ain't true. Will there be rioting, I pray not. But I know that America is very racist, it is the one thing she will not be HEALED of. Won't repent of it. One incident and it all falls apart. I can see that. But I'm praying for it not to happen, and will pray for whoever wins.

quote: Do you live behind four walls? YES WHY? DON"T YOU? quote: how many blonde haired blue eyed illegal mexicans are there? But how many blonde haired blue eyed are serial killers or child molesters, I say arrest every male that looks like he might serial kill or child molest. I think that is way worser than running into a country to work.

I do have a problem with a so called free country building fences around a country, and then who made the borders, I'm pretty sure the Mexicans have something to say about the border placement. quote: Is part of the reason to establish your space? To contain what is inside and to (in theory) keep those you do not invite outside? To maintain some sense of order and control? Wow, so the Native Americans should kick out all non invited peoples? I say build it, so it can contain all those for it in it, especially when they need to escape from this mess.

No where in there does he mention riot. He says he is willing to march and not support Hillary if she steals it. you should want to march/protest when you see unfairness. I don't like BO or Hillary, but Hillary should NOT be allowed to steal it and at this point that's about all she can do. I would hope that if she does steal it that not one black person votes for her in the general. Al Sharpton does not control black people. We watch him on the news like you do. I've seen black and white with him.

Maybe true there are more, But I would rather get the child molesters and serial killers, would'nt you?

SonInMe1 -> RE: Racial Issues in the News - One Stop Thread (4/27/2008 10:16:22 PM)
I am not sure this is a debate on wether or not we should have immigration laws. I think we should protect our borders and one way to do that is to document who is legal to come here. I don't have the exact numbers but seems to me I have heard there are millions of illegal hispanic illegals in this country? Who should we be looking for? If some balding old fat redhaired man escaped from jail and I was pulled over to be checked out....I would call that good police work.

earthless -> RE: Racial Issues in the News - One Stop Thread (4/27/2008 10:17:24 PM)
Just an FYI - there indeed are large pockets of Mexicans that are blond and blue eyed.. and other segments that are naturally red headed (ginger kids) and have freckles. But the ones that tend to cross illegally are lower class/extremely poor.. and not the ones that don't care to live in the U.S. And another thing to keep in mind, especially true for the last 30 years, a large percentage of those many think are "Mexican" are anything but. They are from nations in Central and South America. As different from Mexico as Poland is from Ireland.

SonInMe1 -> RE: Racial Issues in the News - One Stop Thread (4/27/2008 10:22:43 PM)
Being in Florida with a big hispanic population...I agree. Not all hispanics are mexican. Here, I think there are few mexicans. Its more cubans, and central american hispanics. Not to say they are all illegal. I don't think they are regularily pulled over because the population here is very diverse.
