With the riots going on in Paris right now, the problem rests in the fact that there is economic unrests and demographic changes that have caused problems in France. However, the French are not even trying to assimilate these Muslim youths who are of North African descendant. Would it surprise anyone here if similar problem start happening with Hispanics in our country? We have fringe groups like Aztlan and La Raza that want break off the Southwest and "liberate" it in the name of Mexico and "Aztec Power!" (to paraphrase "white power!" if you will.) Is it not unimaginable for millions of unassimilated and unemployed Hispanic youths taking their grievences of economic hardship out on people? Is it not unimaginable that these extremist groups may try to take on American versions of Hamas? For all we know, if illegal immigration continues with a steady stream, and Mexican-Americans are not learning English, they will end up living in ghettoes just as segregated as the Algerians and Tunisians in Paris. Can you picture a suicide bomber under the banner of "¡liberación por Aztlan!" blowing himself up in Hollywood at the 2026 Oscars?
Maybe the Californian Latinos are different but I'm afraid that the face of White predjudice is the same all over.
The answer is "no", for two reasons: 1. There is no religious, or suicidal, component to the La Raza types, they're just another bunch of special interest whiners; 2. These anti-gringo gripers are not stupid enough to attack those most likely to support, or at least "empathize with" their views.
The answer is no because most mexicans like the US and americans in general.
I suspect in france, the muslims don't like the french because they are easy not to like.
While most comrades in the PRC are disarmed, it isn't that way in most other states.
What looks like predjudice may be fear of change and the unknown.
Over the last 200 years, whites have gotten used to the idea that they run the show. As their numbers fall toward 50% of the population, they fear the change and possible loss of control.
I think you forgot a zero
I have read the crap from these groups and the Palestine intifada model is (was) their game plan, but likely will now adopt the froggy muslime one as the near strategy.
No, they will not have suicide bombers.
Even if they are violent, they are not so stupid as to throw away their own lives. That is an insanity reserved for islam alone.
Azatlan types may cooperate by helping to smuggle in muslim terrorists...OR they may engage in terror themselves (with remote control bombs).
I think these yahoos are just a lot of scary talk.
BUT, unlike Europe, Americans tend to be armed and these guys will face lethal consequences. In spite of the democrats best efforts, 9-11 awoke this country. Americans are angry, and will fight any threat...including a bunch of Mexican bloggers.
M-13 is by far a greater threat.
Monger here.
I wouldn't worry too much. Texans aren't Frenchmen.
Suicide bombing? No. But riots may happen.
Likely, there will be so many non US citizens in those parts of the country, they don't have to do anything but say they are taking over! What would we be able to do?
What would you tough Texans do? Would you do nothing, like you have for 40 years, or would you get together with your other manly men and win one for the Alamo? What about your wives and kids? Who will protect them while the posse is out?
What would you schmuck KKKalifornians do? You stood there for 40 years as the illegals from all over kept coming and coming. What will the liberals do when they break into the studios and sit in your charis, and put their feet on the desks? Your legislature is bought and paid for... are you ready for an "Anglo Tax?", Gringo?
Look for this to occur around the same time we try to stop China from "taking back" Taiwan. Oh how the media and the UN and...China, call us hypocrites if we try to put down Reconquista!
The revolution may or may not happen, and you may or may not know it as it unfolds. The media will be silent, the law will be on their side, and your fellow citizens will be too feckless to stop it. VIVA AMEXICA!
Fishmonger? Rumormonger? Muttonmonger? Or haaaaaaaaaatemonger ?
No offense, but if you are going to be so limp-wristed and alert the Kommissars to possible malfeasance, please let them know exactly which type of mongering you believe is taking place, so they can address the situation in the most expeditious manner.
And have the guts to personally tell the poster you are trying to "slience-by-slander" what specific high crime and misdemeanor they have committed while posting a topic on this website.
I was refering to the US.
Also in the last 2000 years, China had a period of dominance and africa was competitive as were the Persians and Indians.
