Pro Hispanic, yet racist profiling. Hypocrisy is alive and well in this administration.

Obama

excellent post, steven. Gun control, like so many big-gov't initatives, can be traced back to racism. And blacks & Hispanics are more likely to be victims of violent crime, so denying people the ability to defend themselves impacts minorities disproportionately.

Won't even get into the 200+ Mexicans who were killed with Fast & Furious guns, according to Mexican Atty Gen Marisela Morales.

Yesterday the Obama administration was smuggling guns to Mexicans, Today it is targeting Mexicans from getting guns. Tomorrow spin, dry and recycle.

I was once a member of the NRA.. I am still a gun owner but not a member of the NRA any more. I grew weary of the fear mongering. The UN will take our guns. Obama will take our guns..
I am no Obama supporterbut believe in fair play. I have not seen him attempt anything that would lead me to believe that he is trying to take anyones guns.

Easy enough to dodge: DON'T check "Hispanic" on the form. Not all people with the name "Rodriguez" and so on are Hispanic, even "brown" ones like people from the Philippines.

apples & oranges comparison. I don't think that anyone has suggested the the impetus of F&F was anti-Hispanic racism. But it did victimize Mexicans of whom the prez claims to be the staunchest supporter.

The new 4473 is clearly an example of how the admin is obsessed with categorizing Americans based on skin tone and ethnicity. Do you like the new 4473? Would you be ok with it if CD required you to provide your racial taxonomy before posting?

Except the Obama administration was caught shipping guns and grenades into Mexico to blame it on our second amendment.

It's somewhat amusing. He has to show some kind of face for that fast and furious fiasco albeit without hanging holder and yet, he has to be very, very careful. He needs/wants those Hispanic votes and yet, be mindful of the African American communities general anti immigration look the other way policies. The fear being, the Hispanics will take more jobs away from African Americans?

Wow, court the votes of Hispanics, pander to the undercurrent regarding fast and Americans are furious debacle all while keeping blacks somewhat happy and content by not openly admitting all who wish to come and take their jobs.....

Like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest......talk about painting yourself in a corner! No matter, the Hispanics are greater in numbers so he will spend considerable time pandering to them while kissing the a$$ of blacks....hey, there's always that weak outsourcing angle...

You can't make this stuff up...

It really makes you wonder what Obama really is all about doesn't it. He supplied the cartels with the weapons that killed many thousands, even lied about it until he couldn't lie any more.

Now he's going to profile hispanics and interfere with their second amendment rights?
