Ethnic slurs are used by black comics on tv (not cable) but it’s ok,the left are slanted the wrong way.

Was Letterman suspended for the things he said about Gov. Palin and her daughter?

No, you say?

Then why should these guys be suspended?

Look. My parents were Italian immigrants. When one of my dad’s cousins jumped ship and tried to stay illegally, he was reported to the immigration.

There were lots of unkind things said about me and my family where I grew up. There were even some schoolyard fights because of it. Fights that I didn’t start, but had to respond or just sit and take the physical abuse.

We made the best of it and got over it.

I think the kids in school were jealous of my lunches. I got homemade meatball sandwiches, pepper and eggs, and other great food packed in my lunch. The other kids got to enjoy the slop at the cafeteria, which I would have rather starved than eat it. More than once I was approached to sell my lunch. No way.

It is perfectly acceptable to make racial slurs about any type of white man.....

However, if you are a white man (more commonly know as the devil)you are required to praise minorities at every opportunity.

IMO, if they don’t like the word, they should quit doing the crime.

ILLEGALLY TRESPASSING IN THIS COUNTRY.

Seems to me that back in the days of yore such “slurs” were an alert to their source, and the person using them was treated to the cold shoulder, and ignored thereon by most.

Everybody was equally targeted by the small minds of the day for some put-down by those sorts.

It’s just something the Leftists are compelled to do as they are an insecure lot.

Today however our society is so terribly thin skinned these “slurs” actually matter.

Again the reason IMO stems from years of Leftist assaults to divide us, and pit us against one another.

IMO, it’s nothing more than a ploy by the open borders crowd. They don’t want people to remember who came up with the term, the USBP. The evil bastards attempting to keep invaders out of country.

A democRat senator got away with saying “white n****r” on national cable tv, once to make his point, and again to emphasize it.

Why hasn’t he been suspended without pay?

Look up "Janice Barton arrested slur" and you will find a story about a white woman arrested for using a "racial epithet" in Michigan. I can't post the links because only non-approved sites continue to carry the story. It appears to have been wiped off the news sites.

Liberal racial agenda crept behind hounding of Sen. Lott

Back in the day, this Irish kid went to Catholic school with Irish, Italian and Polish kids. My best friend in this life is Sicilian(Don't call him Italian) but we regularly indulged in three-way "discussions" employing a variety of ethnic slurs that would get me fired or even arrested today. The Irish, Italian and Polish kids gave as good as they got and no one really hated anyone because of where their ancestors came from.

Of course it's much better today when anyone of European ancestry is too cowed to even make mention of ancestry or ethnicity /s>

LOL!

It's not nice to upset the illegal invaders and their handlers.

Senor Fuentes openly admits he represents companies who openly hire illegal aliens and one says a thing. *Los Mojados*

LOL!

My Dad was born in Avelino, and my mom was born in Sicily.

Relatives considered it a “mixed” marriage.

Our neighborhood was pretty mixed, too; Irish, Italian, Greeks, Spanish, WASP, and we all had names for eachother. But if somebody from another neighborhood used an ethnic slur, he would be warned, “Hey, that’s MY *****! I can say that, but you can’t!”

It’s probably perfectly OK to say “paddy” or “honkey” though

Sure it is but, then again, those terms are not used to describe a criminal.

“Honkey” and “Cracker” are ok though right? It is rare that a black comic doesn’t completely disparage white people. The same goes for black radio and TV hosts. We are sunk as a free nation.

...Where’s the White Chamber of Commerce or the U.S. White Contractors Chairman to defend these guys?

Well, I am so ticked off at all the illegals here and of course, Austin is a “sanctuary city” so what in the heck can we expect.

Apparently, we better just shut our traps and take it.

Or we could make repeated calls to ICE and have them take a look at those 1400 illegal hiring companies.

My neighbor often wears an ICE cap around the house, but it was an acronym for some club in the Navy. I was with him one day and we saw some illegals working on a slab. He said “Watch this”. He hollered “(something) La Migra” and they left like they were shot out of a cannon.

Well, they were probably doing a lot of running and walking when they came here from Mexico or where ever.

So who was offended?

Now, now. We can't use that word anymore because it's just not right. When was the last time they had to swim over? Now days they drive over in gas guzzling evil SUVs.

If he had said crimmigrant he would still have a job. I know that he is only suspended now, but give it time. I predict that Pryor will not return to the air on KLBJ.

Heh. Actually, as I have family on both sides of the border and spend quite some time down there I can assure you they still swim across the Rio Grande.

His Dad might save his job but, my point of this thread was to let people know the extent of the *takeover*.

MR. Fuentes from the Austin based US Hispanic Contractors assoc. basically said there are 1400 area businesses who actively hire illegal aliens. He didn’t think it was a problem

I have a big problem with that eventhough I’m not really surprised.

I tried to call their number and get a list of the companies but, it seems their phone and fax lines are magically experiencing difficulties.
