I hear ya... honestly I come from the bible belt.. my home town is proud to be the home and founders of the patriot guard which we had to do against the westboro bigots. Those people give white folks a bad name but it is their mentality that is spreading like wildfire and disease. Does that mean that everyone who isn't white should hate white people because of these idiots? No. There are idiots everywhere and every single on of them bleeds red.
last night, I was at the casino playing blackjack with some really nice young black men. You know "those scary ones' who call each other the N word for giggles... I had the greatest time! but I know many people unfortunately who would have steered clear of them in the parking lot just because they were young black men.. that is the shame of this society.. we are still very much racist and not just against color, anyone who is less fortunate who have to survive to live.
Yeah. Good thing the Indians at the Casino you were at weren't as despicably racist as so many whites are, huh? Talk about a group of people who REALLY have right to be pissed off and take a few scalps....
You know, even when somebody DOES make some crazy statements I find a largely disempowered, impoverished black man expressing his anger and frustration a HELL of a lot less worrisome than a spoiled brat who inherited his station in life with nothing standing in between him and a couple thousand nuclear weapons other than his magic underpants and a space alien on the planet Kolob.
Christ...give me a Black Panther or two ANYDAY.

exactly.. thats what gets me about this country esp when it comes to crap like this.. If i hear another idiot say english is our national language I think my head might explode! We stole this land.. we spilled it's blood.. then we went and kidnapped more blood and put it to work.. both WHITE and black.( White slaves were most commonly referred to as indentured servants.) There is no national language and it should be cherokee or some such thing if there were one! lmao. I'd gladly take a mad black panther over a backward bigot anyday too...

There arent to many nations created that werent "stolen" from the "natives" or stolen from the inhabitants that stole it from the original natives.
I get so tired of hearing that lame accusation pointed at the US alone.

Honestly i think you just like to fight to fight... is this your thread? Are you lonely? there are nicer ways to go about a conversation. Yes the chinese were immigrants... were they paid fairly? no.. unless you call $28/month to go and hopefully not blow yourself up a good living. The railroad men would say just send out more coolies... because the chinese were hard workers who did a better job than the whites on the line. So yes your right they were paid workers who took over the job because the whites did not want those jobs.edit on 25-10-2012 by gnosticagnostic because: (no reason given)

see i thought it was like that... just like the coal mines you had to buy from the company store with your monopoly money or take an advance at the company store that put you forever in a cycle of servitude... but I wasn't certain of that so I didn't want to say they weren't paid legal tender if they were.
No worries. I majored in History back in the day.
awesome, I considered history and then decided I'd rather not be stuck as being a low paid disrespected teacher lol... i ended up in nursing instead.
