Actually it is ok. Its just narrow minded and short sighted. Not to mention ignorant. Just as its ignorant to accuse people of being racist when its unfounded.
This forum taunts fly back and forth from all sides. Discussion gets heated and people say stupid things sometimes.
My bench mark for a racist. If they can look at children playing and hate on them because of race, ethnic back ground or culture then they are a true bigot. Anyone who can hate on kids well they are just as low as it gets.
We all know my stand on illegals. I have never seen a child I can hate by looking at them I dont and won't hate children of illegals. I dont even hate illegals. I hate the crimes they commit and the apparent sense of entitlment some have. I don't know any illegals well enough to hate them personally.

I'd like to know how objection to illegal immigration is bigotry towards one ethnic group or culture. Just because most illegals are from one ethnic group and therefore they get the most attention does not imply bigotry towards that entire culture or ethnic group. I do however find it appalling when the citizens of that ethnic group think that their ethnic group should be above our laws or should be rewarded for breaking them. In that case the bigotry and racism label belongs on their heads, not ours.

Why would they "need to come up with a new one" unless the people they are calling racists are in fact not racists? And why would you post that article with that catch phrase unless you thought the article somehow showed that the people labeled "racist" are in fact not racist?

Seriously, your "quote the post where I said this" is beyond ridiculous. I didn't claim you said it. If you actually said that, then I would just laugh directly at you. What I did was make explicit the implicit argument you were making. you seem to agree that it's a pretty dumb argument since you're now trying to distance yourself from it...

What race are we affecting? I don't get the racist angle. I don't like criminals, illegal aliens are criminals. Are they all the same race? Are Somolians, Mexicans, Haitians, Russians the same race?

I got 12 kids on my baseball team. One Asian kid, two Hispanic kids, three black kids, and six white kids. How am I a racist?????????

An a Mexican can be of Somali, Russian, Japanese, etc. background; there still ALL Mexicans. Tho MOST illegal aliens are Hispanic Indians.

When they're wrong about an issue, they lean on the RACE card. They figure that if they throw out the RACE card enough times then maybe everyone will forget there's a REAL HARDLINE ISSUE they are trying to get everyone to ignore.

Like a shiny beacon of light the words ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, ILLEGAL ALIEN keeps blazing forward. They can cover it up with piles of RACE covered CRAP but ONE WORD KEEPS REPEATING. ILLEGAL, ILLEGAL, ILLEGAL.

Nobody is illegal. BULLL CRAPPP! You're a racist. ILLEGAL IS A STATUS NOT A RACE TRY AGAIN! You're a racist! RACE RACE RACE.

The more they try the dumber they look.
Well put, Rush Limbaugh. I've seen the same amount of Americans pull the "race card" then any other race. "Hey, I've got me a luminous idea, why don't we all pull the hypocritical card, and call it even?" DONE.

Thank you for demonstrating that you don't understand what "racism" means.

Here is the difference you aren't getting. 1. Many Hispanic-Americans think that their ethnic group is above our laws in regards to illegal immigration and should be rewarded by allowing them to remain here and anyone who objects to that must be a racist. 2. Most non-Hispanic Americans are not advocating for that for their particular ethnic group or race and only want our immigration laws enforced. Think about it!

Some biased poster on this forum says they are racist, ergo they are?

Typical deceptive statement.
