After many articles revolving around crimes and illegal immigrants, I wasn't surprised to find that such crimes also occur with U.S. born 'white' supremacists. Some 'white' people might find that shocking, but I have lived around it. My family has also been victimized by such people, and it's time illegal immigrant haters stop pointing the finger SOLELY at illegal immigrants, namely of Hispanic heritage, for EVERY CRIME.
CRIME IS FOUND IN EVERY ETHNICITY, RACE, CULTURE, RELIGION, AND SEX! Stop pointing the finger.
They target cops and steal IDs and bank information. They also do drug deals and are pretty much low lifes.
Here is the link http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/03/04/white.supremacist.gang.ap/index.html
I would also appreciate UNBIASED links to specific stats regarding how many illegals steal IDs, etc. Eventually, I'd like to write a report and compare the 'U.S. crime' vs 'illegal immigrant crime', dollar for dollar, crime for crime.

Hell, thats not a gang.Thats more like a company picnic. Mara Salvatrucha (MS13) now thats a gang. There's one hunderd thousand gang members world wide, with nine thousand being in L.A.. Now thats a gang.

I've read up a lot on crime stats and they all pretty much conclude that no particular race commits more crime than another race. It's all proportianate to the population. Thats across the board for murder, rape, assault, burglary, etc.
Here's a link regarding ID theft:
http://www.idtheftcenter.org/factsandstats_1006.pdf
This link is to a GAO report (from 2002):
http://www.consumer.gov/idtheft/pdf/gao-d02830t.pdf
There's more. I'll try to find some and post the links. I'd like to see the results from your report also. Good luck.
One other thing I really like about this article is that society tends to blame crime on lower-economic-class citizens and tend to trust upper-middle-class and wealthy people. Scott Peterson wasn't a poor boy; Ken Lay, ex-CEO of Enron, wasn't a poor boy; there are many, many middle- and upper-class folks who illegally use cocaine and don't pay their taxes, both of these are crimes. These young men and their wives and girlfriends seem to be upper- and middle-class people. When are we going to realize that it isn't color, economics, or sexual preference that makes us good or bad, but our character? Will it ever happen.
One question your article and the CNN article makes me wonder about is: Why do prisoners have the kind of freedom that they can run a gang from prison?
Re-read my article since you didn't understand the first time.
Jeff, are you still mad about the whole Christianity thing?
Eamon and Jessie, THANK YOU. I will look into those links. For now, I have GOT TO FINISH MY work! good night!
Maybe that will help on your quest for knowledge of the racist movement.
Do you think we should give the same penalty to a person that runs a red light to that of a convicted child murderer?

I got more for you also.
A kind of "Sisterhood of Hate" to procreate white supremacy has emerged. Since the mid-1980s, women have joined the racist movement in record numbers--from the White Nurses preparing for racial holy war to female skinheads producing videotapes on natural childbirth techniques. This new and dangerous increase accounts for nearly one-third of the membership of some hate groups. The increase in the number of women, coupled with a strategic thrust to reform the public image of hate groups, has expanded women's leadership.

"Though it had deep roots in Southern politics and claimed 15,000 members — more than the Ku Klux Klan has boasted for decades — the white-supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC) was a mystery to most Americans until 1998. Late that year, a scandal erupted over prominent Southern politicians' ties to the brazenly racist group."
http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=802, check out the numbers:
See No Evil
"Read a list of 26 U.S. elected officials whose ties with the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC) have been publicized in the CCC's Citizens Informer."
White collar crime is the most prejudiced, discriminatory crime there is...and it's because of 'white' rich guys.
I am looking at all of those links you guys posted. I'll try to focus on stats and numbers from different organizations.
Kathleen, I just keep on truckin'. You know, I'm in college right now and I'm majoring in environmental science/wildlife conservation. Socioeconomics on all levels impact our earth, but after being on gather for a month, I've learned my passions burn towards social injustice. I'm seriously thinking of getting a double major now.
Bob, I'm proud to say that since we've 'met', I feel you and I also have an understanding. At least I hope I'm right? :)
My question remains. What does crime committed by legal citizens have to do with crime committed by people who are not citizens?
Check out this link to the Aryan nation...first page is BAM. HATRED. Here's an excerpt, with some words like "cabal' that Larry French uses...
"So here you have it kinsmen, kikes, a wetback and niggers (and I do mean niggers) partner up to go hunting for aged White folks whom will be said to have committed heinous crimes against non-whites 30+ years ago! Sounds like a great new plan to spend tax payers money to me! How many racially motivated "Black on White" crimes will be investigated in this witch hunt?
NONE!
Well Nazi's are just plain getting to old to hunt especially with the Zionists boy Simon "The Weasel" Wiesenthal gone. Now the jewish cabal and their non-white buddies need new bogeymen. I can hear them now, "Let's go after some very bad White people. We can send a twofold message to these old crackers and militant White's of today, that we are going to stamp out WHITE RACIAL PRIDE at all cost and teach Whitey hands off non-whites!"
Our country is being flooded by millions of U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' wetback beaner-buddies and instead of having a news conference on how he's going to stop illegal immigration he's discussing with the FBI and several Black and jewish self-interest groups of hunting down and jailing 70-80 year old White men! Do you see something wrong with this picture? If White's continue to allow themselves to be downtrodden they deserve every nail in their coffin at the enemies hand!
GET OFF YOUR KNEES AND FIGHT WHITE MAN!"
I also saw a link where the Aryan Nation tries to dispel Martin L. King's cause. There is some of the same crap I've seen other members say about MLK at this link.. http://www.aryan-nations.org/michael_king/index.htm That particular website is such a joke! Reminds me of those infomercials at night!! LOSE 50 POUNDS IN THREE DAYS!!!!!
To me, questions within this realm of thinking are moot. If illegals weren't here to begin with, they wouldn't be committing any crime in this country and there would be nothing to compare to the crimes (heinous or not) committed in this country by legal citizens.
Exactly what I'm saying. But I could use the definition of a what propitiator is.
Check out this link http://www.aryan-nations.org/reichsfolk/
Bob M remind me when either the President or the Attorney General were arrested and convicted of these White-collar crimes you mentioned. Is this some fact I missed? When and where did these factual crimes occur?
"The goal of the establishment of a White Aryan homeland on the North American continent has not and shall not change. We believe that the Aryan folk deserve the right to a sovereign existence and racial self-determination within a territorial area characterized by our own laws, culture and customs. This is in line with the 'Blood and Soil' concept of Third Reich-era National Socialists and follows the logic that for a people to survive (as a distinct racial and cultural group) they must have their own land so that their own ways can be furthered amongst their own folk - to the exclusion of alternate ways of life within that specific geographic territory. "
Read between the lines and it says, "Whites only". They also claim nature 'intended' separations, and if you procreate with a 'non-white' then you're not acting Aryan and you embarrass them. There's a whole bunch of stuff about acting honourably and humbly, but then they post a picture of Adolf Hitler on their website. OMG.
It has no bearing on the issue of illegal immigration. Again, if they weren't here to begin with, as the majority of the citizenry of this country would prefer, there would be no crime committed by them in this country. Your argument disappears with the application of some critical thinking.
You bring it up as though it's relevant and it's equal. It's not. Your "Well, THEY DID IT TOO!" argument is foolish and desperate.
White supremacists are part of the citizenry of this country. That ugly black mark on society is ours to deal with through our judicial system and by other societal rejection means. Unfortunately, it is part of society to have to take the good with the bad. We do not, however, have to "take the good with the bad" of another country's citizenry and that is what you are asking us to do. And you can't further your stance on the whole thing by trying to compare crime committed by either group because one group is ours to deal with and the other is not.
Another thing I don't get is if a lot of 'white' people here in America are so hell bent in BEING AMERICAN and they give some Hispanics hell for NOT ASSIMILATING, why do 'white' supremacists keep talking about Nazis, Germany, and Hitler? Why don't THOSE IDIOTS ASSIMILATE to OUR American way of life? Oh, it's because they have paler skin, European descent, and speak English..
Leti, you constantly bring up that most of the illegals are decent and good people. Yet, that whole thought process goes right out the window when you want to lump all white people into an awful group such as this in order to further your argument. Why is that? Why would you want to use "white supremacists" in your argument when you know quite well that they represent such a small portion of the population of all white people and that the majority of white people are kind and decent people? Isn't this the very thing you fight against? If you have such a problem with this being done towards hispanics, why are you doing it yourself in the other direction?
WHAT DOES THAT REMIND YOU OF? HISPANIC EXTREMISTS! Does anyone yell at these white supremacists to assimilate or get out?
I've seen the racial slurs against Hispanics...namely from Larry French, but have I seen 'white' people stand up against him?! No. Have you said anything to him about his disrespect for the Mexican culture? Has anyone said anything to him about his hatred because his son was beat up by some kid whose parents were probably illegals? Now he's crazy because of it. No, NOT ONE OF YOU HAVE SAID ANYTHING TO HIM.
SO...I'm tallying up stats and percentages.
Bob said there are approximately 20-30 million illegals compared to 300 million citizens. I haven't looked into those numbers yet, but it's a start. Out of those 20-30 million, I don't know how many are extremists? Do you know how many white supremacists there are? I want to find out, too.
Lisa, you wrote, "Why would you want to use "white supremacists" in your argument when you know quite well that they represent such a small portion of the population of all white people and that the majority of white people are kind and decent people?"
Lisa, if you would have asked me back in high school, I would have said only a MINUTE amount of 'white' people were kind and not racist. Yet, I'm educated, so I know better, and I've met my beloved husband. That's the same thing I'm trying to show you about Hispanics across the board, even illegals. Yes, they are here ILLEGALLY, but that does not mean that they are all of these crazed, puppy-raping, drug-dealing people that others make them out to be.
NOW do you understand how I feel when illegals and some of their crimes gets lumped in with Hispanic heritage? You felt the same way about lumping in whites with white supremacists.
So, Lisa, why do YOU think that these white supremacists aren't being told to assimilate or go back to Germany?
Here you ask us not include all anti-immigration advocates with the low lives of supremacists groups and yet a majority of individuals and groups use the argument of crime against immigrants both legal and illegal.
Bob said there are approximately 20-30 million illegals compared to 300 million citizens. I haven't looked into those numbers yet, but it's a start. Out of those 20-30 million, I don't know how many are extremists? Do you know how many white supremacists there are? I want to find out, too."
What does the number of illegals in this country have to do with the total number of citizens? What are you going to garner from that figure? To me, it doesn't matter how many "extremists" there are in the population of illegals. None of them belong here unless they do so in a legal fashion through the immigration processes in place. Comparing the numbers of "worse" illegals to the whole of illegals might be an exercise you wish to complete but it simply doesn't matter.
I don't know how you would even get an accurate number of illegals in this country. Do they line up to be counted? Doubtful. And then how do you count who is extremist and who isn't? And what does it all amount to in statistics? They are citizens of another country.
If there are 30 million illegals here and only 10% of them are extremists, does that make it okay for the remainder of illegals to be here? If another 10% of them are committing additional crimes once they are here (beyond the crime of entering the country) does that make the lesser total okay to be here? I'm not understanding what these "statistics" do for you.
Lisa, I am saying that some people will equate an illegal immigrant to a murderer even if that illegal is only breaking trespassing laws (or IRS). Even our laws have specific punishments to fit the crime. I've been to a lot of other websites, and there are extremists that claim that illegals are guilty of all the crime, all the scandal... illegals are to blame for the 'falling of our civilization'. I don't buy it.
Then why not concentrate your energies on those who are not extreme? Those are the folks in the majority. Let the extremists do as they will.
That's the same thing I'm trying to show you about Hispanics across the board, even illegals. Yes, they are here ILLEGALLY, but that does not mean that they are all of these crazed, puppy-raping, drug-dealing people that others make them out to be.
Leti, do you even read what I write? As soon as you can show me where I have said "all" about anything having to do with illegals (except that they are here illegally-period) you can then set out to "show" me something about it. I don't even talk about people who are here legally when it comes to this discussion and I've called out others making unfair assumptions about them. Save your "educating" for someone else, please. I'm doing fine without it and the only purpose it's serving is to aggravate you over your own misguided assumptions.
Well, I'd say that talking about importing the criminals of another country is a relevant aspect of this discussion. Comparing this country's criminals to them is a red herring.
Talking about the crime illegals commit by entering this country is pertinent to the discussion. Using a social security number of someone other than yours is a crime. A lot of illegals do this so it's also part of the discussion. Tax evasion is against the law, making it an integral part of the debate. Talking about the crime committed by illegals IS part of the conversation about illegals and has nothing to do with crimes committed in this country by the citizens of this country.
Juan the president lets the crime of illegal border jumping happen 3,000 times a day. The attorney General put two innocent border patrolmen in jail falsely.You don't have to be convicted to show that somebody is having criminal activity going on, or, do you think it's not a crime to jump our borders without credentials?
Bob let me reiterate the statement I have time after time made "I know better than to group all Anglos as racist. However when a person does not vent or express his or her opposition to such groups as the KKK than I have a nagging belief in the back of my head that person agrees with their racist views. When someone intentionally makes statements to blame all Hispanics with crimes committed by a minority of illegal immigrants I than have no option but to step up and voice by discontent. When I see any person being inflicted with violence simply because of being an illegal or simply because of the perception of being illegal than if have an ethical duty to voice my concern. That does not make me any less of an American or it does not mean I condone illegal immigration and if you can not tell the difference that only reinforces my opinion of how the race issue will always be the underling factor behind a number of individuals views when it comes to immigration."
I don't think you guys have studied enough to produce any kind of tangible credibility to your argument of (what is you argument about anyway? By the way, it would be alot more believable if you put some numbers with your facts.
Tell me where all of these drugs you're talking about come from. Could it be the porous border that our president doesn't want tp protect?
Did you ever stop think that the reason people don't stick up for these assholes is because they don't feel the need to stick up for people that commit crimes. Just because sombody is of the same ethnicity, doesn't mean that their your little brothers and that you have to protect them from being wanted to go back to their own countries. This is as plain as day, but for some reason you can't "see"it.
Again "As for the two border Patrol agents you mention, this two agents lied under oath and tampered with evidence. Whether you agree with shooting being justified or not you can not overlook this fact."
If this is true than why do you and your counterparts keep standing up for the two Border Agents who broke the law by lying under oath and tampering with evidence?
I just explained about drug dealing, skinhead shining, brokedick,AB's once. Do I need to keep reassuring you of this.
I guess you don't keep up with the Ramos and Campean border patrolmen, otherwise you would know what a sham the attorney generals office was caught doing.
I do have outrage for this. But none that will give you dispensation you are looking for.
How do you know whether my disdain is equal or not? Please don't make assumptions about my feelings on the matter. The fact is, that as a citizen of this country, the hate groups are part of it and we need to deal with them accordingly. I do not, however, have to deal with the dark side of another country's citizenry. How many times do I have to type the same thing? I've said it like 3 times now. These people are not our responsibility- the good or the bad. Comparing the bad people here with the bad people who are illegal doesn't change that, no matter how hard you try or how many times YOU type it.
Lisa, you know, I'm really trying to understand what you're saying...so let's try to name a few points in order and then you answer? Then you do the same and I'll answer back. That way we can find SOME common ground because I feel like we're going in circles in article after article.
1. Do you think illegal immigration is a crime (this is redundant, but just bear with me, 'kay)?
2. Do you think illegal immigration causes ID theft, government ripoffs, and job displacement?
3. Do you think illegal immigrants are of all nationalities and cultures?
4. Do you think Americans of Hispanic heritage are lumped with illegal immigrants for breaking laws?
5. Do you think the topic of Mexican illegal immigrants creates a hornet's nest when people of 'white' color do the same crimes (I am currently devising a report about these stats so bear with me on that, too)?
6. Do you think some of the anger against illegals is racism?
7. Do you think other people on Gather are racist?
8. Do you agree with white supremacy? Do you agree with Hispanic supremacy?
9. If not, why don't you speak out against the likes of Larry French?
10. Do you think illegal immigration is the same class of crime as murder?
11. Do you believe in amnesty?
12. Do you feel empathy (and this does not mean you agree with them)?
13. Did you read any of the links that I posted regarding white supremacists (tell the truth, please)?
Anyone else is welcomed to comment. I'm just trying to figure out why we're all disagreeing when we all want the same thing: stop illegal immigration The only thing I can figure out is that some people do not think it is racially motivated, while others do.
For me to see this as a neutral topic, I have to see where the other person is coming from without any prejudices towards illegals, even if they're breaking the law. By prejudices, I mean anger, violence, disrespect, and 'lumping' all illegals in one bad category.
The whole point of writing this short article was to show that ALL 'RACES' cause crime, namely some of the ones that are blamed to just illegals. As I said, I don't have numbers or stats, but I want to write it by the end of this month (maybe during my Spring Break).
I know that some of you also don't have a racist bone in your body, but PLEASE understand that for some us that have experienced things, it is not so easy to believe the neutrality of the topics when it's ladened with hostility and anger. I'm just speaking for myself.
America has profited from our South of the Border population, whether we want to accept that fact or not. It goes back to the old saying, "a bad apple spoils the bushel". The fact remains that the crimes committed by the illegals and blacks gain publicity while the crimes committed by other nationalities fade into the background. The illegal immigration issue is not a new one, it goes back hundreds of years.
No one complained when the fruit pickers, field workers and other "low paid" jobs were filled by illegals. The big commotion started when the illegals began to take on jobs formerly held by American laborers. Construction, factories and other enterprises found they could hire these "illegals" for a fraction of the wages paid to legal citizens. Why do we point the finger at the Bush Administration? The finger pointing should be directed at all the past Administrations who did nothing to try and halt the influx of people wanting to improve their life.
All the hate that this country seems to be turning towards is tearing us apart. I don't understand the purpose of this article unless it is to promote more controversy. That seems to be the goal and from the comments I have seen, I believe it is accomplishing just that.

Mexican Meth Floods U.S.
Shutdown Of U.S. Labs Fails To Stop Spread Of Deadly Drug
"...Drug enforcement agents report the number of meth labs in the U.S. has plummeted."
"This deadly drug is now a growth industry for Mexico's deadly drug cartels. They're replacing small U.S. kitchen labs with Mexican super labs. The cartels are smuggling ephedrine from China, India and Europe and cooking up huge quantities of cheap meth — including an especially potent variety, Mexican Ice. Then the cartels smuggle it north to U.S. users."
"By some estimates, as much at 80 percent of the meth on U.S. streets comes from Mexico. Agents see more of it at the border. Meth seizures are up 106 percent in a year at the border crossing near San Diego."
"Mexican authorities have busted 18 meth labs in the city of Tijuana this year alone. One lab was located next door to a day care center."
Full Story:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/05/19/eveningnews/main1636846.shtml
I believe that those crossing the border illegally are committing a crime. However, I can understand that the motivation to feed and care for one's family is worth the risk.
Bank of America has a program that gives illegals a chance to borrow money. Is this right or wrong?
Although I detest ANY racist organization, whether it be the NAACP, ACLU, KKK, Aryan Nation or any other other group that promotes hate, and commits crimes to perpetuate their activities, there does not seem to be an answer to the situation.
http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54142
It's not hard to distinguish the two different crimes for us. It's impossible for you and the other pro-illegal people, you're the ones that can't distinguish the difference between the illegal invasion of people stealing their way into this country and white supremists. There is somewhere between 20 to 30 million illegal invaders in this country and maybe 5 or 6 thousand people that belong to white racist organizations. And you can't "see" the difference between the two.
Come on Juan, find something else. This equation of yours is just making you look bad. I know your smarter than that.
How about explaining to me why the poor little kids in Hispanic countries grow up with out any fathers to take care of them. Don't you think they deserve a better chance at growing up then their fathers give them, all the name of "Doing jobs that Americans don't want"?
I know myself that rich or poor, I'd rather grow up being around my father.
"...PLEASE understand that for some us that have experienced things, it is not so easy to believe the neutrality of the topics when it's ladened with hostility and anger."
What's more important...worrying about who is a racist or protecting our country? You are not going to change anything with comparing white supremacy to our illegal immigration problem, as one has nothing to do with the other. Even IF everyone on gather was racist, (which they ARE NOT!), does that change the facts about illegal immigration? Would that make everything concerning illegal immigration, that is negatively impacting this country acceptable?
Good point! I grew up without my father, and that's why I made sure I was always around for my two sons. Two of the finest individuals you'd ever want to meet!
To begin with, what statement or statements have I made that indicates that I approve, condone or incite illegal immigrants into crossing our borders? Again I will repeat my contention for all those who have a hard time of comprehending the written language. Even thou I speak out against the violence committed against illegal immigrants and those perceived as illegal it does not make pro-illegal, just as those opposed against immigration are not automatically racist. However my belief is that the current resurrection of hate groups is closely linked with current highly debated topic of immigration.
I'll click out numbers and I'll post that article here.
HG, please answer YES or NO to this question: do you think white supremacists are using illegal immigration as a recruiting tool? Please, just yes or no.
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=13855
People will commute 1 hour ONE WAY just to afford that new house where I live.
Are you guys seeing the same problem around your places?
One can only assume they are. Still doesn't change the facts about illegal immigration.
I answered your question but you seem to have skipped over mine.
Two, when I come on here and I can objectively look at your opinion and you can objectively state yours, that's great. Throw in a little bit of disrespectful garbage aka Larry French, and it's all down the drain.
Yes for the 400th time.
2. Do you think illegal immigration causes ID theft, government ripoffs, and job displacement?
Not in toto but, yes- for the illegals who are committing these crimes.
3. Do you think illegal immigrants are of all nationalities and cultures?
Yes
4. Do you think Americans of Hispanic heritage are lumped with illegal immigrants for breaking laws?
Not by me. Perhaps by a few shortsighted people they are but certainly not in the amounts you view it.
5. Do you think the topic of Mexican illegal immigrants creates a hornet's nest when people of 'white' color do the same crimes (I am currently devising a report about these stats so bear with me on that, too)?
I think the topic of Mexican illegals creates a hornet's nest. And that is where it ends. "When people of 'white' color do the same crime and they are citizens of this country they are OUR PROBLEM. They are the blight of the U.S. and we have to deal with them. When illegals who are in this country commit these crimes they weren't our problem to begin with- they are citizens of another country. They only exacerbate the original crime by committing bigger ones with each step.
Again, what are you going to do with this report? What will it tell you?
6. Do you think some of the anger against illegals is racism?
Yes, but certainly not the amount you and others attribute to it. I would say an amount coming from a very small number of people.
7. Do you think other people on Gather are racist?
I've certainly seen some racist comments but again, not in the large numbers you seem to see.
8. Do you agree with white supremacy? Do you agree with Hispanic supremacy?
If you are asking me this, you haven't read a word I've written.
9. If not, why don't you speak out against the likes of Larry French?
Well, if this is, as written, a connecting question to #8, I don't see Larry French as a white supremacist.
I don't agree with the way that Larry French presents his views. It's just not the way I would go about it. But, you and several others are already jumping on him at every turn so I think there is enough voice against it already. My energy isn't needed and I'd rather spend it on something else.
Surely, you wouldn't want your silence in a matter to be judged as condoning, would you? I'm sure I could accomodate you if that is the case.
10. Do you think illegal immigration is the same class of crime as murder?
Another foolish question. No, I don't and I've never seen anyone else who does either.
Leti, it is YOU who attach that assumption in your own mind and then attribute it to others. They aren't saying it -YOU ARE. You assume a lot of things that people never said or thought and then you don't back down. And then, when they become upset with you about THAT, you again think they are angry about something different.
11. Do you believe in amnesty?
Not in the case of illegals in this country.
12. Do you feel empathy (and this does not mean you agree with them)?
I think I've answered this one about 10 times previously. I have a problem with duplicating my efforts, if you don't mind.
13. Did you read any of the links that I posted regarding white supremacists (tell the truth, please)?
Thank for for assuming that I might not be truthful. THAT is what irks people, Leti. Either you are going to GET that or you are going to continue to piss people off. No, I didn't read the links. There was no need to. I know a lot about white supremacy and as I've stated before it is not germane to this discussion. See #5
For me to see this as a neutral topic, I have to see where the other person is coming from without any prejudices towards illegals, even if they're breaking the law. By prejudices, I mean anger, violence, disrespect, and 'lumping' all illegals in one bad category.
This is a neutral subject for you? LMAO! You don't see where the other person is coming from without prejudices towards illegals! Instead you don't read what people write and instead decide on your own how they think or feel and even how they'll act. Walk your talk.
The whole point of writing this short article was to show that ALL 'RACES' cause crime, namely some of the ones that are blamed to just illegals. As I said, I don't have numbers or stats, but I want to write it by the end of this month (maybe during my Spring Break).
You are writing a report based on a logical fallacy?
I know that some of you also don't have a racist bone in your body, but PLEASE understand that for some us that have experienced things, it is not so easy to believe the neutrality of the topics when it's ladened with hostility and anger. I'm just speaking for myself.
Well, I'd say it's then up to YOU to get over it! What you are doing is walking around prejudging the thoughts and words of others based on your own past negative experiences with a certain group of people and then asking those you are doing it to, to "please understand" when you've offended them with it by assuming they either have or will behave in the same manner.
Isn't that the same thing you don't want coming in your direction? It's YOUR past, Leti and maybe you need to deal with it first before you come into these discussions with that baggage and dump it on others who don't deserve it.
Empathize with someone else using your own statement there, Leti. Some people have "experienced things" that were not too pleasant that had to do with blacks or hispanics or jews, etc. Instead of looking at it and saying those were just bad people, it's caused a shift in their thinking about those groups of people and now whenever they engage with blacks or hispanics or jews, etc., they project all of that onto those people whether those blacks etc, who are before them are doing anything like that or not. THAT is exactly what you are doing! When someone else does it, you scream "RACIST!" When you do it, you say- "please understand"
You want others to stop doing it, I'd suggest you get a mirror and stop doing it yourself. Or at least stop asking us to "understand." I don't and it's not my issue to deal with- it's yours.
And yes, silence is terrible. It means that you let it happen.
Lisa D. commented Mar 5, 2007 "Well, if this is, as written, a connecting question to #8, I don't see Larry French as a white supremacist."
Lisa if you don't see Larry(Himmler) French as racist, than what is your definition of Racism?
What did you do, just wake-up out of a long sleep? The've had these same racist organizations for centuries. Some journalist thought there might be a "big" story to write about, due to all the illegals in the country. Guess what? The only added criminals in the prisions are*******the invaders. The percentage of AB's are about the same as the've always been. Nice try Juan, keep looking though! I'm sure, sooner or later you might find some kind of racist connection
I'll try to get numbers from .gov sites... I'll also work on a thesis...
The dinner ws great, but since I don't drink - no hangover!
