    Comment: you sound racist against your own race by your comment.

    Comment: Rodriguez,
    You are beyond pathetic. As a Latina woman who is voting for Obama your racism and your warped logic as to why you couldn't "trust" a black man to lead is laughable. Your grammar is atrocious and your writing style...well, I've seen better in my third grade class. Try taking some classes at your local community college perhaps that would help; though a lobotomy might be a better option quicker action.
    Sadly, there are Hispanics whose feelings of superiority of ???black people??? are so deeply ingrained that they themselves don???t even realize it. It has a lot to do with the Spanish caste system that was set in place some 500 years ago. It???s surprising that it still exists and definitely so among the uneducated lower class. As so succinctly written by those of which I speak. Frankly, I???m finished with them.
    Please do not think we are all like this. My educated friends and myself are so far from this viewpoint.

    Comment: I'm Hispanic. I was born in Colorado. I will not vote for a black person to be commander and chief of America's armed forces. Why? I don't trust the Blacks whose history is constant compaining, marching, boycotting, rioting, whining, (After Michael Richards apologized, Sinbad loudly and arrogantly said.."It's not enough!" when Mel Gibson apologized, it wasn't enough. Nothing pleases the Blacks except to be coddled and apologized to constantly. They're overly sensitive, demand to be heard before anyone.
    One can't have an opinion or likes or dislikes, no preferences or they will accuse one of racism. It is so wearisome to hear them brag how great they are, how proud they are to be black, yet on television they are there trying to look white, act white, talk white. Can't they see how hypocritical they are? I've tried talking to them, but found they are rude, loud, demanding and frankly I'm tired of it.
    They are nothing like Latinos. I know some claim to be Latino, but if they knew history they would find out that if you're black you are from Africa, not Spain, Israel or Portugal.
    I won't vote for Obama because why should I trust a black man to lead the US? The black history is filled with hatred for the whites because of the way whites treated them, this includes the Spaniards who also enslaved them,
    so how could I trust a man to lead a country that enslaved his race? I would think the bad feelings are still
    there and there could no love or loyalty to a nation that literally hated his people.

    Comment: Many pundits and much of the press claimed that the Latino vote would be "decisive". This perspective has proven to be overblown as the Latino vote appears to have fallen into near-irrelevance. Apparently, demographics don't necessarily translate into votes.

    Comment: I think the circumstance is just as the article states. The clash between black and brown has to do with the factors that were indicated in the article in relation to competition and the poverty that exists in the neighborhoods that they share. Ignorance toward what the actual ramifications are of black vs. brown or brown vs. black is what makes that collision even greater. Living in a such negative environments accetuates negative behaivor and since it is either black or brown residing as neighbors in such environments, they are those who are victims of such negative behaivors imposed on each other. Rather than realize that instead of fighting each other that together they could fight the system that has them all where they are, and band together to create a much stronger alliance that could and control the path of US politics, the main focus is placed on the conflict. Asian, Latino & Black votes are what could really bring 'change' to a country that struggles with racism, but until it is realized by the people within those races, the division will continue. Which is why I say 'ignorance' is what drives the division that seperates those groups. This is why you see younger and older, educated blacks, asians and latinos supporting Obama because 'education' has enabled them to realize the significance and importance of Obama's political race and eventual win as president. During the Civil Rights movement, it wasn't just about 'black' and Martin Luther King Jr., but it was also about 'brown' and Cesar Chavez. For centuries, 'Brown' folk were discriminated against just the same as 'black' folk and as a result have also fought for civil rights alongside 'black' activists. Education is the key to use when attempting to bring 'brown' and 'black' together. How much more can the two groups kick each other down on top of the kick down they have gotten from the system? It makes more sense to join forces and give the system and the racist status quo, a big kick right where it counts!

    Comment: latinos are just envious of how far blacks have come so of course they wouldnt vote for a black president. they forget that if it wasnt for blacks and the civil rights movements the freedom and privileges they have wouldn't exist. that goes for all other minorities who look down upon us. but we were the ones who fought to get to where america is now. Everyone else sat on their asses. And Latinos are still sitting. Just accepting it.

      Any way you slice it, I do not, cannot envy Blacks.

      Comment: this is for Tootas...how can u say that latinos are envious of the black community ? Thats why some latino's dislike blacks...because they think we latinos or other races owe them for what happened to them in the past but this is the future we had no control over what happened. And latinos are not lazy if it wasnt for us some roads or houses would not be fixed..Latinos get steryotyped to much and get just as much racism as a black person . I believe blacks and browns dont get along because we are too much alike. And again if we just sit on our "asses" like you said why are blacks complaining that we take their jobs and if we are not that imporant why does Obama need the Latino vote so bad?

    Comment: I'm a black Haitian but I would never vote for a black president because the " white man" make decide for the black man to follow. It like that in Haiti the " white man" make the decision for the black man to follow. I don't mind follow a white leader as long as he as mercy for Haiti.

    Comment: Quetzxal, plenty of Hispanics here have clearly stated that they are voting for Clinton for several reasons. What are you talking about?
    The topic is called The Black-Brown divide...we are talking about why there is a divide?

    Maybe some of those African American voted for the White candidate because of what was stated in the campaign...just like the Latino`s here are voting for Clinton!

    Stop stroking your ego thinking that were trying to get your vote, this is about the divide.

    I guess you see it as race revenge?lol

    I can say the same thing. Do you think a black has never run for Mayor or Governor and didn`t win? Where was the Latino vote when they lost? see my point? For the record, Obama isn`t just African, He`s 50% White, but I guess you see him only as a black man needing the Latino vote?

    Comment: Why is it that all the pundits refer to the lack of support from Latinos for African-American candidate, yet there is no reference of the reverse? Do we remember LA and the African-American community voting for a white candidate and not a Latino?
    Now we will here from the African Americans that we need to unite and set aside our differences, let the past be the past. Clinton, Obama and the Democratic Party need the Latinos, how the world turns.

    Comment: It is mindbogglilng to me, why this divide exists. Latinos need to realize that they will always get a free ride in, on the demands made by blacks on the front lines. This country will always look down on latinos. America hates blacks but they hate "foreigners" more! Trust me, that's exactly how they look at anyone who doesn't speak english, or speak english as a first language. You are good to do the landscaping,cook in restaurants, clean their houses and show them every now and then how hot blooded, you really are!! So vote for Hillary, if you are legal, and remember your role, as in Jeb Bush' house! I live in New Jersey, the whites think latinos are ruining the country, and hate Mexicans more than Mexicans hate blacks!!! Is that possible.you

As long as we as people stay divided the white people no disrespect will live on to think that they are better than black's and latino's they want us to fight even more than now with the up and coming election

    Comment: I lived in L.A. for 30 years and my direct observations have led me to conclude that latinos, Mexicans, in particular, are racist by any definition. Not only are they engaged in a race for Top Victim but in an unrelenting competition for social services, subsidized housing, jobs and resources. Blacks are in their way. They try to coopt the Freedom Train and the civil rights movement to justify what is an imperialistic attitude in the u.s.

  • Posted By: arcataberry @ 02/11/2008 1:40:46 PM

    Comment: The latino prejudice against blacks is pervasive, and cultural. Latinos bring heavy racist bagagge with them when they come to the U.S. Witness the treatment of Indians in Chiapas, the fact that Mexico has been ruled by the light skinned for generations, that Brazil had its first black t.v. news reporter EVER only last year. Mexicans, esp., are vying for the Top Victim position in the U.S. and attendant benefits.

    Comment: I agree that race play's a big part in the election but race seem to be a problem every in the world right now like it's the new thing to be racist and say racist things. I work for a all white members club i have been working here for a year and up until 2 days ago i was able to use the bathroom any where i wanted but now they tell me that i can not use yhe bathroom on the first floor it's for members only is that not considered racism . True i think we are ready for a African American or a Women to go to the white house , But what about the people that still live in slavery days that think that we are not the same. If you ask me they would bring back slavery if they could and have all African American and Latino's on one plantion together because to them we all on walfare and have to many baby's

    Comment: This is exactly what I mean! I knew you were white the minute you totally ignored Remosses 20 post to mention Peace2you and Raven!! All I was doing was showing him that the people he kept trying to convince us that he was so close with had major flaws also. If you took time to read any of this guys post, you would have realized he kept stating we Latino's and White`s???..but at the same time kept using derogatory remarks about black people??? which clearly makes you hypocritical in your statement!

    Claiming that blacks are lazy and on welfare in order to justify your a decision on why you are going to vote for Hillary and Not Obama is racism???Period!! You totally ignored this persons comments and made a hypocrite of yourself in the process.

    Let`s talk welfare, Blacks, whites and Hispanics are on it. The mindset is: ???I hate that my taxes have to go to black people living on welfare, when I`m out here busting my behind, they should do the same.??? I have heard this type of comment for years from various other cultures and mostly white people.

    Now, the facts about the blind: Being on welfare requires the governments assistance correct?

    The blind truth: White people file Bankruptcy in the amounts of over a Billion Dollars per year???..and who do they file these Chapter 7 and 13 `s with? The Government for assistance!! White people use the government for assistance for far more money than Black people ever have!!! The blind hypocrites don`t see this because they see a white family doing well, but no one tells you about the BK filed this year because lost your job and was living like the Jone`s.

    Abortion is a process of killing your kid to better your own future and this process has been abused by white people for decades to the point that even white people themselves not boycott abortion clinics!!! Yes you know a few people who have kept their children, but the truth is too many have not. Also many who keep their kids now, don`t mean that they didn`t use the clinic while in college!!

    This is just the truth, it`s not anything against white people???it`s just the cold hard truth!!
    This can sometimes be hard to swallow and when you hear it, it can trigger denial, but you know it`s true, and now you can see how the bias media and racist people have stereotyped black people by promoting their flaws while keeping there`s hiding, which has shaped the form of the Whole World`s mindset about African Americans.

    I like and have loved white people, I just don`t worship man because all fall short of the Glory of God no matter how many believe they don`t???.all you have to do is open your eyes and see they truth!!!

    Comment: I believe people do what they want.. as a Black American I am so tired of hearing about "the past". It's one thing to know your history, it's another thing to live it EVERYDAY. Give it a rest already. No. Obama isn't a Muslim. Maybe he should be, and then he can open a Lebanese restaurant and fill it with Whites, like they always do- sending the profits to the very same nations we're at war with.
    And yes, Blacks can be and are racists. Swallow that. Everything swings both ways. Stop breaking everything down to- "you can't be racist if you're black because only people with power can be racist(whites).
    That's bull! Racism is Racism. If you judge or make decisions according to race, or any prejudice based on race, you're a RACIST. It's time for all of us to swallow some reality.
    BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008. Robbie.

    Comment: cherold, racism ? LOL It`s call reality!!! I don`t even know if I will vote for Obama and I`m African American! The reason is because he is Musilum and I know only one thing about them seen on a video called Radical Islam, made by by the people in that country trying to warn us about the mindset of the radicals. Their plan is to take over America!! Not only that but they want to kill off every other people of everyother religion and allow terrorist to run wild!

    That plus I had a Muslim friend from the east tell me about 10 years ago that they were going to take over America...and I laughed and he smiled and said I`m serious and I was like OK.

    Now I hear about Obama no being Patriotic and this video becomes clear in my mind.

    Telling the truth about people doesn`t make you a rascist. It means you are honest. Eveyone knows that people worship idols who present themselves as being good while hidding their faults, yet promoting another cultures faults as being the worst kind of people to be associated with.

    Showing another cultures faults are not being racists at all, it`s bringing light to the cunning and bias mindset that has Asian, Hispanic and white people sounding like a broken record everytime they mention black people.

    Those that have your mentality seem to forget that we are part of ONE RACE, the HUMAN RACE, and color does not label a person, their ACTIONS and WORDS do.

    My mentality? lol Appearently you overlooked Remosses 100 rascist post two call me 2 or 3 post rascism?lol You want me to think of you as a person of equality?lol Your type are part of the problem.

    You see we can sign "We are the World" but when I go home I have to deal with people like you who over look people like Remosses as not being rascist..he only mentioned we Latinos and Whites and not you Blacks..like a 10 times....yet you call me racist?lol

    You need to read the part of my post about white people being blind and you will see what I mean as to how you fit snuggly into the catagory of the blind and bias.


    • Posted By: cherold @ 02/09/2008 6:18:50 PM

      Comment: Guess what, I'm not black, I'm white. What was your point again?
      And what exactly is "my type"? I know that whites and blacks and latinos and asians all have problems and struggles they have to deal with. The reason I felt your comments were racist and/or prejudiced were the way in which they were presented. The same thing goes for Raven. A person can make a point with out demoralizing individuals and pointing fingers and placing blame.

      I don't know if your scenario you presented was something you experienced personally, but most of my white girl friends I grew up with have had more than 1 child, and they are in their late teens/early twenties. They chose to suspend college to care for their children. So posing the fact that white women get abortions over raising kids is inaccurate.

      Raven: "White people are the most pathetic race on this earth...They have--and continue to--commit the most horrid crimes against God and humanity..." Hmm, sounds racist to me. What about the genocide that is taking place in Darfur? Or the Holocaust (everyone knows about that one). People of ALL , let me repeat that...ALL...races are capable of evil.

    Comment: Putting all racial things aside for the moment....The most disturbing thing for me, personally, is that Obama will not look at OUR country's flag during the pledge of Allegiance nor will he wear our flag on his lapel! We are expected to except this because of religious tolerance? Obama is putting his beliefs before our country . Politics & religion are two separate things at least so I thought. It is extremely discerning that so many people support an ANTI American individual such as himself. What that indicates to me is that these people must also have ANTI - American sentiment that they could disregard such an important thing called PATRIOTISM.. So many people have died protecting our flag & THIS IS WHO WE WANT TO RESPRESENT OUR COUNTRY?!?!?! It is a simple matter than means so very much. SCARY that people cannot see that this is as blatant disrespect. This country became great because all the people had one common belief & it was called loyalty to their country & to their flag. That's what keeps a country strong & America seriously lacks this important quality. God help my country.

    Comment: TO BLISSNRISKS: YOUR COMMENT IS THE MOST IDIOTIC COMMENT I HAVE HEARD! Mr. Obama is not trying to be JFK and Ms. Obama is not trying to be Jackie O! Although they may share the same ideology. If I can remember correctly, Hillary & BILL entered the white house with a young child too....and NEITHER of them were stay-at-home parents! About the article, I agree with it. There is still a lot of racism between blacks and other races...but there is racism, self-hate, envy, and crabs in the barrell effect that goes on between us. We blacks (not all!), have still bought into the same philosophy that Hillary said..."It took Pres. Lyndon B Johnson to sign into law, what Martin L King Jr "dreamed" about." Mind you, I am paraphrasing this, but one person can say something, yet every individual with their backgrounds and intellect has their own interpretation. Another thing, have anyone questioned the similarity of the L.A. mayor Antonio V has to Bill Clinton? (Adultery, embarrassment of his wife & family?) Why does he not repulse Hillary? Why is this not brought up....EVER! Just asking!

    Comment: The "Latino vote" is just as important to Obama as the "Black vote" meaning pretty much that it's not. Obama has NOT ONCE in any of his hundreds of speeches, interviews and town meetings addressed any "black issues" or any "latino issues". Yes, it is a race situation. Proven in large black community population states such as Georgia and South Carolina that black voters are choosing Obama because he's "black" (or so they say) reinforces the Latino opposition to that. No, we (meaning "Latinos") are not in competition with blacks for jobs or social status. In the largely diverse community that I live in Illinois, the Mexicans live in low-income, developing areas but are paying rent and utilities and a good sizeable number of the black community lives under the city's housing authority, in other words, public housing or in layman's terms, the projects. The whole idea of "being taken care of" by the governement in Latino's eyes is slothful and unheard of. We (Latinos, or all the one's I know) are proud of what we have earned and how hard we worked to accomplish anything that we have. The idea of living under "welfare, public housing, public assistance, or food stamps" is just unthinkable and takes away our proud feeling of dignity and respectability.

      Comment: Laverez - You need to look outside of Illinois because there are just as many Latino's on Public Assistance here in New York State. There are also just as many African-American's or Blacks that rent and own their homes in New York State. Not all African - Amercan's want to be taken care of by the government. Please look outside of Illinois.

    Comment: What cause the divide between Latinos and blacks? Both groups has Civil Rights issues. I feel they should come together and make a change in the White House in 2008. It can be done with Latino and Afro-American unification.

  • Posted By: sdf48 @ 02/06/2008 8:32:39 AM

    Comment: It is clear where the "race" issue raised its ugly head - the conglomerate news media. They continue to compare the voters as Black, White, and Hispanic; created a massive racial issue over Bill Clinton???s remark on Jackson. He made a comment the two campaigning! Did Jackson run a good campaign in the South not once but twice? How can one interpret this as a slur against Obama being black? Hillary said it took a committed President to get the Civil Rights laws passed! Is it a lie? To get things done, a President has to be committed and strong enough to demand/ push their agenda! How does this belittle MLK or negate his efforts? Only vicious sensationalism would and could find something racial in these remarks. The press jumps all over Bill Clinton for campaigning - no one made a single remark about Obama???s wife holding a mega rally in California. Why did it take the two of them to campaign in California? The press is slurring and scandalizing these elections. There is no doubt racism is a part of this election, the past and probably future elections. But, a black person in the USA today has a 10 fold advantage over a woman.
    Although there are more women in the USA, women are "tolerated" more than credited for their roles in change. Women created more changes than any other group. Women created mindset in their children which allowed a softer touch on the planet, in the work place, in medicine and healthcare, in the economy, between the races and gender and more, BUT, are not credited for these changes.
    The Press is coddling Sen. Obama through the primaries, for defeat by the Republicans. They have looked into his past, his scarce voting record, his accomplishments, his defeats, his affiliations, and his skeletons, BUT don???t report pro or con to the public, so the public can make an "informed decision". If the press was non-racial, Sen. Obama would face negative comments. But, that they are intolerant of women is very clear by the negative reporting against Sen. Hillary. There again-a woman is second choice to a man regardless of race. It???s fair to attack a woman, but not fair to attack a man who is black and Sen. Obama is quick to look for and point out racial undertones.
    Finally, Sen. Obama cannot align two parties. Saying he can is saying he is willing to go conservative. He is an excellent speaker and pushes the right buttons, but can he get his agenda through congress? What specific changes are different from Sen. Clinton? Just being democrat will effect changes. I believe he will fail against the Republican Machinery. And Sen. Obama may never politically recover from the attacks to come in the General Elections. He cannot handle criticism.

    Comment: The are more black hispanics than african americans so someone should really put context to this discussion. Slavery started in the latin areas of the Americas and 90% of the slave trade went there. Race is a deep issue also in latin areas although people try to deny it. For example the Cubans in Florida are more white looking (although many would also be black using the one drop rule of the US) but in Cuba as long as you look white you are considered white and received the benefits of such. One of the reasons for the revolution in Cuba was a racial one as class in Latin America is also quite often tied to race.

    Comment: I find this all quite amusing. As a white person i would not vote for hilary clinton because we would just have bill clinton as president again, we need change so i'd vote for obama. he has a mind of his own, ideology of his own and the only reason that other white people are reluctant to vote for him is because they fear he will treat African-Amercans better than them. However htis is not the case, he is black but that doesn't mean he'll only look out for his own people, i mean George W bush didn't that much of a good job for anyone. Economic Recession, Unneccesary wars, Hidden iedeoligical wars ect.

    I don't understand why latinos would favour whites oever African-Americans, this is because the white people will treat both (black and hispanic as just immigrants). You are the same to us. So i'll say this; any hispanic that favours whites over blacks, we do not feel the same(we don't favour you) but we'll still benefit from you favouring us. Both blacks and hispanics are thieving lying, bad people. People DO NOT VOTE BLINDLY, OR TO OPPRESS ANOTHER, VOTE FOR THE GREATER INEREST, THINK CHANGE.
    ps. please do reply, i'd like to see what you replies are pethatic hispanics[ most of you not all of you]

I am for obama not because i am a african american and he is also but i am supporting him because I seen the way he came up in politics in illnios and he brought people together. I really think he would be a great president for everybody not just one race of people because together we can. we can come together. and that is what makes us united the united states and not divided the divided states that we are and have allways been. not saying that we all will come together but most of us will. those of us that come together that is what makes us unique and that is the united states. united we stand. Why cant we just give him a chance. Just give him a chance.

    Comment: Isn`t funny how white people take a shot a the black brown divide top to insult black people with there welfare and lazy people comments?

    White people are the most blidn people on planet earth!!!

    You call 1milliion white people who can`t keep a job for month and would rather be at the beach..."Beach Bums"

    You call 3 million white people who live in double wide trailers and get food stamps "Poor White trash"

    Tou call 4 million white people with criminal backrounds from murder to rape " Good Kids who went down the wrong path"

    White women who get pregnant by the football quarter back in college get`s two abortions because she wants her career to be the most important thing in her life, the black women drops out of college to raise her child and takes the responsiblity. Five years later they see each other at the pharmacy, the same white gil who is a pharmacist says look at that girl with all thoses kids getting help fom the goverment.....She should have been like me and killed to be successful!

    This is the mindset of white people...many do not face reality. Then cannot see wrong in themselves and many other minorities are worshipping these kinds of people. Not all white people are this way only the wones that are full of so called pride.

    Stop taking cheap shots and face the facts. you are not better than anyone, you have crime and people on welfare and lazy white people just as much as anyone else if not more because there are more of you!!!

      Comment: Peace2you--your comments were hilarious and soooo true. White people are the most pathetic race of people on this earth. They have--and continue to--commit the most horrid crimes against God and humanity. Blind isn't the word to describe how they ignore there own crimes. What a waste of skin--but there time is short for this planet. Yearly, these pale faces are fading--or should I say turning to real color--not that tanning crap they use.

    Comment: detpride06-multicultural societies do not work. The collective shrug of indifference on behalf of it's subjects at the demise of the great Roman multicultural experiment in 376 AD is the definitive and final word on this. In a multicultural society all but those of the dominant culture harbor some degree of resentment. Assimilation and loyalty should be demanded by the state, or very soon gripes and beefs become terminal cancers in the body of society.Right now, I think America is becoming a very vague idea that few feel any responsibility towards, and if you really loved America, you would be very concerned about reconciling the fact that we have millions of indigenous unskilled Americans on the dole and are importing millions more from other countries to do the work they should be doing,. This is an unhealthy, immoral situation.

    Comment: What will this country do when we run out of money to fund the welfare that supports uneducated, unskilled people who are too lazy to take a job that offers low wages and long hours. If you want better jobs, then spend some time getting educated or trained. Until that point, immigrants are more than happy to take those jobs just to stay in this country. What is wrong with Americans nowadays? Why is everything about race? What happened to being proud to live in a country that allows you to have the freedom to even say anything about the gov't in the first place? I think at the end of the day, the person who is most qualified and most concerned about the nation's issues should be elected. It should have nothing to do with race or gender or religion.

    Comment: Kiss my black ass. The sense of entitlement has no color or gender. I have met lazy Caucasians, Hispanics, Asians, etc. It is not just black people. Everyone needs to stop generalizing and look at each individual as an individual not a representative of their entire race. That's how the problems get bigger, not fixed. I hope we can eventually get to a place where our elected leaders are chosen on their ability to do the job not who their parents were and the shade of their skin.

    Comment: Stop using illegal immigrants as a scape goat for the United States Economy. New built homes would cost 10 times the amount if it were not for people who work hard for little money. Fruit and vegetables would cost dollars more. The US Economy is in a recession because of hasty banks who gave mortgages toopeople who could not afford the monthly payments and because Big Bussiness is outsourcing jobs to China and India. BIg me a break. Ilegal immigrants pay taxes, work hard, and respect this GREAT COUNTRY. Illegal immigrants do not live off wellfare and over use hospitals and social services. Give me break. People need to stop being so prejudice. Get over it. The United States is melting pot and other races are becomming the majority. Look at California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, New York. The USA is not one race. The USA is changing color and we should embrace the new color of americans. I love America!

        Comment: Rmesoses,
        You are all over this post talking crap and you have no valid point to what you are attempting to say. You need to stop being a clinton stooge and think of your own reason for trying to bash African American. I really do not want to be indignant with you because I will sound just as ignorant as you do here on this blog. You know every black human being on earth and they are lazy and worthless. as for taking over something, let me tell you something and hear me good. "whites will never let you take over anything" so stop dreaming and wake from your nightmare. The only thing you could take over with is having babies and raising your kids espically the women to be cows. So are you that stupid to think if you repeat the word muslim it will stick. Stop your ignorance and go read {my pet goat}. I hope it helps

    Comment: Paying unskilled Americans to stay at home, feeding into their since of entitlement, and then making up for the apparent dearth of Americans willing to do manual labor by inviting all of Latin America's poor to come and do it is a very dangerous quick fix. When all services are finally overwhelmed and cease to function in our urban areas, these areas will become extremely dangerous and violent areas, populated by a permanent underclass. When the crumbs of the welfare state dry up, bloodshed will resolve the conflict between these two groups, bloodshed that could have been averted had our national leadership addressed the fact that we have millions of unskilled Americans who are this way by choice and refuse to work. I say do away with all forms of welfare, except for children and the elderly. Then, if we still have a labor shortage, we look to immigration.

  • Posted By: isaidit @ 01/30/2008 12:43:58 PM

    Comment: Sure, there is a black/brown divide. Every year, more and more African Americans choose to forego a high school education and drop out to sling dope until they can get a record deal. ( I know whites do this too, but we're talking about black and brown). In urban areas, like here in the Bay area, you have over 50% dropout rates in the black community, and the wages of this choice are apparently not that bad. You get subsidized housing and food, so there's no worries. There is absolutely no consequence for rejecting hard work and education. And instead of some leadership and direction from our leaders addressing this cultural rot, the business community and the government just prefer to import unskilled people at a huge cost to the community. Those who profit really aren't affected by the drain on public services, because they barely rely on them, what with their private schools and hospitals and gated communities. So basically this country is being propped up by the shrinking and heavily taxed middle class, and illegal immigrants. It seems the rich and our homegrown poor and unskilled get a pass. Here in Oakland, it is very strange to see Mexicans at the bus stop, on the way to some low paying job, while unskilled blacks, who are that way by choice these days, seem to be milling about, with their pants slung low and gold teeth in their mouth. How do they eat? Why do their clothes look reasonably new and not shabby? Yes, this creates resentment.

    • Posted By: aroc80 @ 02/02/2008 4:38:33 PM

      Comment: You have not given great thought to your response. I am an elementary teacher and I see all types of children black, white and mexicans wearing the sagging pants, so I do not know what your point is here. many blacks worked free in this country and no one give a hoot then so do not call black children lazy or any other children lazy or worthless because none of us live in their households and cannot judge the way it is being passed around on these blog pages. I think the Latinos are being set up and they will see it in a few years. I see the low expectations in the school for these latino children. Stop the biasness and the trash you hear. Do not paint everyone with a broad paintbrush, instead, read, research and please know you will never be in a better situation unless we all demand the human needs for all. Stop the ignorance!!!

    Comment: Harwood, exhorbitant wages, are you referring to American citizens who were homeless and being paid $10.00 per hour? OMG, better work ethic? oh yes thats right, blacks are lazy right?- its people like you who have betrayed this country, and allow corporate America to keep their millions/billions by paying subsistent wages to people who live 10-20 per household, do not pay into the system and send their money out of the
    country - not to mention numerous other drains they put on American tax-payors and legal residents, such as fraudulant auto and work comp claims etc.. etc.. etc... "her willingness to work hard, show up on time and her disipline" how about the fact that she is earning money from a country who's laws she broke in order to be such a 'model' human being and that its people like her who allow corporate America to pay wages so low, that most of us, who obey the laws pay our taxes, medical bill etc,...are barely even surviving with 2 people or parents working- I'd like to see someone like her survive on the money she's making if she actually had to pay back into the system instead of leaching off of it. Wake Up and stop spreading your racist hatred against people because of the color of their skin - your stereotyping is offensive

    • Posted By: Harwood @ 01/30/2008 2:23:31 PM

      Comment: Nope, I'm talking about people who demanded $30 per hour, yet were unwilling to perform "demeaning" work like hauling flood-ruined items from destroyed structures. Unwilling to put on protective suits and scrape mold and mildew from walls, or crawl into A/C ducts to do the same thing. Unwilling to show up for work every day. Yet hispanics, illegal and legal, were willing to do all that for $15 per hour. I have photos of my sister-in-law in that protective suit and in that A/C duct. So, the hispanics got hired for job after job, and made and saved a lot of money. Which they spent in our economy, in businesses that employ American citizens. And the blacks, instead of competing, were complaining, picketing, spitting on, and threatening the hispanics. Or sitting on their couches. Oh, and paying taxes? She had to use her sister's Social Security Number to get hired, a requirement of the US-owned contractor that employed about a dozen American citizens as supervisors, accountants, etc. So, my sister-in-law had to pay taxes, including Social Security, for benefits that she will never draw and servces she cannot use, all for a company that benefited American citizens. So she is contributing, which is more than you can say for those fine protestors of New Orleans who, while legal, do not contribute but instead only drain our economy by freeloading.

      The same thing happened in my city. A huge complex of derelict old buildings had been vacant for 10 years until an out-of-state investor offered a plan to invest $375 million dollars to create an entertainment, residential, and office park. Hundreds of jobs would have been created both for the construction and the ongoing operation of the businesses. Yet the project fell apart because the black city council members all voted against it. They said their constituents all demanded "living wages" of at least $25 per hour for all jobs in that complex, which they were entitled to because the complex was on the edge of a predominently black neighborhood. The cinema was the first to pull out of the project; who can afford to run a movie theater when the kid who makes popcorn or tears ticket stubs has to earn $25 per hour? The whole project was canceled just a few weeks later. No jobs for any blacks there now, just like in New Orleans. They decided to move the complex to a part of the state where race was not an issue, and a teenager is happy to earn $7 or $8 per hour for an after school or weekend job.

      Repeat that same victimization story all over the country, every week. The blacks are their own worst enemies.

    Latinos are hardworking there is no doubt about that. Its the cutthroat wages illegals work for that is the problem. In tome Hillary will solve that problem.
    I wont vote for a black president. thew have slaped too many a face of the pro civil rights croud I grewup cheering. Today its superior employment position as their right ,and way too much cries of raceism to keep their jobs, just look how many lawsuits for discrimination are filed every time a recession looms. Most every black cries discrimination,blacks I know and have worked with,usually very unjustly. Age discrimination effects the construction industry,my industry much more severly,in my opinion than raceism,!
    So no I wont vote for a black for presidentnow lay in the bed your actions have made.

HILLARY COULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH HER HUSBAND FRIGING YOUNG GIRLS AND THEN LYING ABOUT IT. SO HOW IS SHE GOING TO SOLVE THE LARGER? I THINK IF YOU ARE ABLE TO ATTEND SCHOOL IN YUOUR LIFETIME IT WILL HELP YOU TO HAVE A PERIPHERAL VIEW ON MOST TOPICS. IF YOU READ FOR YOURSELF, USE A DICTIONARY AND BE OBJECTIVE MAYBE, ONLY THEN YOU COULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. TRY IT!!! LEAVE THE BLACK THING ALONE AND FIND AN OBJECTIVE TOPIC.

    Comment: She knows who she is. Her family, brothers sisters cousins worship the ground that white people walk on! They all have White babies and brag about their blue eye and blond hair just a s much as white people do about themselves!!! Being Hispanic in the communities for over 20 years I can tell you that there really is no conflict between African -American and Hispanics..It complete political rubbish!!!

    The problem is many Hispanics have been washing brown from their skin all the while claiming to be very proud to be Hispanic, yet hating black people all along!!

    MLK fought for these people rights and when they got them they turned on black because they worshipped the image of success "White People " I mean think about... The Native Indian was conquered by the White Spaniards, rapped the Native women and had Spanish babies and made the native babies speak their language "Spanish"... The native Indian is Lost!

    The same thing happened to Africans who are now African American but we never forgot who we were. Do you really think Spanish people are going to vote for a black man?

    And Asian women 21 to 31 years old, 50,000 per year do mail-order brides just to marry a 55 year old and up White American to become American and the hottest selling product in Asia is products that make the skin white? Did you really think Barrack was going to get the Asian vote? These people worship "Idols" which is the 1st of the Ten Commandments Commanded by GOD!!! Not all Hispanics but a tremendous amount hate black people....just because white people do!!!! They will never admit it due to "Pride" but it`s true!!!

    The problem is many Hispanics have been washing brown from their skin all the while claiming to be very proud to be Hispanic, yet hating black people all along!!

    MLK fought for these people rights and when they got them they turned on black because they worshipped the image of success "White People " I mean think about... The Native Indian was conquered by the White Spaniards, rapped the Native women and had Spanish babies and made the native babies speak their language "Spanish"... The native Indian is Lost!

    The same thing happened to Africans who are now African American but we never forgot who we were. Do you really think Spanish people are going to vote for a black man?

    And Asian women 21 to 31 years old, 50,000 per year do mail-order brides just to marry a 55 year old and up White American to become American and the hottest selling product in Asia is products that make the skin white? Did you really think Barrack was going to get the Asian vote? These people worship "Idols" which is the 1st of the Ten Commandments Commanded by GOD!!! Not all Hispanics but a tremendous amount hate black people....just because white people do!!!! They will never admit it due to "Pride" but it`s true!!!

    Comment: The Latinos that helped with the Katrina relief efforts didn't get the work because the black citizens of Louisiana were dismissed. They got the work because the black citizens refused to work unless they were paid exhorbitant wages. If they were hired for jobs it was only once, because the Latinos had a better work ethic. It wasn't just pay; it was the quality and quantity of work. I know this because my wife (who is a legal immigrant) has a relative (illegal) that worked on Katrina reconstruction for a year. She banked a lot of cash because of her willingness to work hard, show up on time, and her discipline. That had nothing to do with her legal status, and everything to do with her approach to life and work. Could that be the real reason for tensions between blacks and latinos?

      Comment: Some of that may be true but you are forgetting something. Most black people who are from the lower wards of New Orleans could not help because they we waiting for the relief don't twist it tell the whole truth. Alot of them were waiting to be rescued. People saw the images all over the news many of us experienced that tragedy first hand. And other thing all black people do not want to be paid outrages amounts of money to work. That is only people who are into making fast money mostly younger people. They don't understand the value of hard earned money from a days work. There are still plenty of black people who make barely make minimun wage and aren't lazy or hard up for money and have a good work ethic.

    Comment: oh and one other thing, Latinos who's ancestors came here legally and earned the right to vote, more power to you - I should have said illegal Latinos and their anchor babies. I hope who ever wins the race, has the forsight to understand the impact illegal immigrants have on our economy and hold corporate America responsible for causing this mess in the first place - if there is such a divide between Latinos and Blacks it because of corporate greed.

    Comment: Black Americans are American Citizens and who go back in generations here as long as any other race w, are right to be against Latinos, they are taking their jobs. Anyone, who disagrees with this, needs to look back to Hurricane Katrina and how black citizens of Louisianna were dismissed from paid recovery efforts cause, the Latinos were cheaper. If that wasn't an additional slap in the face for them, you have got your head up your u know what!. Its time that blacks are treated for what they are first, AMERICANS

        Comment: it is obvious that you have no education or you would not be making these blanket statements. {lazy and worthless}. what do you idiot mean about blacks will be no more. How could you be so stupid to go on repeating this trash that makes no sense. Should I believe that you feel so much inferiority to blacks. Try some education and raise your self esteem that will work Was there an election that I missed about someone willing something. You have lost me in translation.

    Comment: The question is not (just) about whether Hillary supporters are anti-Black racists, though as a Mexicano I think we do have to engage this important question seriously as there is definitely an element of both conscious and unconscious anti-Black racism at play. However, while we need to address this, a
