Racism? No, that's the wrong term. Hispanics are not a race. Xenophobe is the term that I think you're looking for.

Oh,I certainly agree with that. I would say it is the larger of the two evils.

But the facts are that the immigration issue draws some strange bedfellows together.

We had a incident in our FR group in Arkansas recently. We were infiltrated because of the shared concerns and some did not catch it until it was too late. Unfortunately, saw it coming but could not prove my contention and simply backed out of the group until the stuff hit the fan. I don't know if I did the right thing. I blame myself for not speaking out because I did not want to get into a personal confrontation. The problem, hopefully is behind us bit the damage was very devastating to our group. It is a issue we must address.

It is a dicey thing to do however.

Yes it is...I've found myself in your shoes 2 or 3 times here...and it takes a long time to get over the hurt, recriminations...if ever.

But I feel as though I have a duty to a cause larger than myself and that FR is the best way I've found so far to pursue that cause.
