And how exactly is the poster a white race hater? The poster was pointing out the problems that we should solve, there is a difference between criticizing the attitudes and actions of someone vs. actively hating someone. It's just that you don't want to hear the message because you don't like your thoughts and beliefs challenged. I'd judge that you fall into the 1st category of persons who wish that people of color should just shut up and stay quiet about the issues in our society.

The poster is always on the attack of white Americans especially is you are a conservative. It's been going on for months if not years. It's one thing to express one's views (and of course they are always race/party attacks) regardless of your race or ethnicity but beating it to death day in and day out to the point of being outright insulting is quite another.

Well, we can say the same thing about your gratuitous rants about Latinos and fear mongering on immigration, which very well are characterized by your descriptive. Put your money where your mouth is.

I don't rant about Latinos. What I object to is illegal immigration and those who support it for ethnocentric reasons. It's fear mongering to want our immigration laws respected and enforced? Really?

I would love so much for this to happen. But it won't! our political arena won't allows this too. And we all know why don't we.

Many people are past the BS with racial issues, not paying attention to a person's color but the essence the person holds from within. Their character is of importance naturally and if they are decent or bad. Who cares about color, I never have, and always got along well with others. I look more at the character and integrity of the person, are they liars, most people loathe those who lie.

Hate to say it, I still see sides of racism from different groups even here in 2014 which to me is very sad. No problem with those people who don't break our laws and rules of this land. But any one group should also not be rewarded for wanting the American dream, but not wanting to become a citizen of this land. Probably won't happen in my life time, but I would love to see all aspects of racism just cease. I think there is so much more important things to worry about

He has never been about hatred. What he hates and you living in California ought to really understand his message. Is about free loathers, who come to this great land of ours, seeking a better life for their families, but breaking the laws to come here. Illegal Immigration

That is the message he has always conveyed, it has always been about illegal immigration. I don't think it is fair of you to judge someone you really honestly don't know.

I think it is so unfair of you, to say this poster outright hates someone, without you knowing for sure.

If you do not know him personally, how can you make this assumption.

And there is nothing more distasteful than insulting someone for stating a fact.

Oh yes, you do. And you rant about illegal immigration with a touch of xenophobia and ethnocentrism all the time - you complain about Spanish being spoken in public (is that against the law?).
