Hey, stupid, as idiotic as racism is, it is not illegal. I don't know what kind of big brother thought police you had in the country that spawned you, but the FBI is not any kind of thought police. Laz was not racist against you - I'm sure he doesn't even know what "race" you think you belong to. However, even if he was - even if he called you the worst racial slur you can conjure - it is still not illegal in America.
As for intimidation, Laz is legally within his right to speak against your application for citizenship - as is anyone else who has any reason to believe that you do not deserve citizenship. That is not intimidation and it is not illegal.
Your behavior and comments on Free Republic are reason alone to question whether you have any understanding of our form of government here in the United States. Here, let me give you a test. This is a test I think everyone should have to pass before they can even vote.
1.) What is the difference between a Democracy and a Republic? Which form of government was established by the U.S. Constitution in 1787?In my opinion, if you can't pass this test you should not be allowed U.S. citizenship nor be allowed to vote if you are (unfortunately) already a citizen.2.) What is the difference between a national government and a federal government? Which form of government was established by the U.S. Constitution in 1787?
3.) Every American Citizen possesses individual inalienable rights. From where do those rights originate? What are the roles of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights in regards to those rights?
4.) From where does the U.S. government derive its just power and authority? What legal methods can be used to expand that power and authority?
You say you love American more than some of us here. If you can't pass this test, you don't even know what America is and therefore you can't actually love it.
Go for it. Let's see how you do.
Spiff DOES have a point, there. whatever one may think of racism, it is not illegal to have racist feelings, or even to mouth off racist sentiments.

i would go a step further than a mere constitutional/government essay exam. i would require that anyone applying for citizenship would have to know the entire U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as well as the Declaration of Independence by HEART.
Any person applying for citizenshio would have to write them out by heart AND recite them out loud by heart IN ENGLISH...EVERY WORD.

regarding those thoughts i wrote above, we would take into account certain disabilities (someone who cannot speak, etc.).
but if a person applying for citizenship has the reasonable ability to communicate by memory the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence, then they would be obligated to do so.
Although exceptions could be granted for certain unique cases, they woud be rare and case sensitive.
