No, the apologist's agenda is to try and paint the blatherings of Jackson and Sharpton as the gospel truth of the black community, and that is completely false. The Jesse and Al show is nothing more than 2 old hucksters lining their pockets while riding the coattails of men like Ralph Abernathy and MLK.

Illegal immigration has hit the black community especially hard, in the fact that a lot of working blacks are, like me, in DIRECT competition with said illegals for jobs.

Actually, there are many anti-illegal Hispanics. Unfortunately, their voices have been muted by the vociferous rants of illegal alien profiteers, namely La Raza.
If they carried the Mexican flag in one hand and the American flag in the other, would that make you feel better?

They shouldn't be carrying any other flag other than the American flag. I would not feel better because I want the illegals gone and I want our tax money to stopped being used for ungrateful hooligans.

So I am not allowed to fly my Scottish and Irish flags with my American Flag, and Texas flag? Or is it just Mexican flags that are against your anti flag waving jargon?

If at a pro illegal immigrants' 'rights' protest-------I would immediately peg you as a traitor!

Obviously; at a Cinco de Mayo event; showing a Mexican flag would be appropriate---------much different context.

One should not carry ANY other flag than an American one, if one is trying to get their "rights" from America. Otherwise, you're basically biting the hand that feeds you, showing that you are not loyal to America. And, you expect us to support you?! Gimme a break.

They did themselves alot of harm carrying Mexican flags and flipping the bird at American citizens, who FEED them! What a bunch of low-life, ungrateful bums.

Agreed! But of course you see the lovers of other countries come out in droves to say otherwise.

Did you notice how those BOLDED flags were flying like flies during the marches?

I believe it was two years ago when the first May 1st protest marches were. I saw flags I don't think I've ever seen in real life before.
