And yes, I do believe you are trying to escalate the flamewar. I suggest you immediately and fully disengage from all running feuds and flamewars you may be involved in. And that goes for both of you.

Jim, in the past I have received double digit insulting race-baiting freepmails from some of the folks on this thread, and ignoring them and deleting them and alerting the admin mods to the abuse did NOTHING to make them stop sending them. I'm talking about more than ten insulting unanswered freepmails in a row, in a few hours, for example.

The ONLY way I have found to stop from being the target of unwanted, unanswered insulting race-baiting freepmails, has been to post them in the open. That is the ONLY way.

I am not talking about part of "private correspondance" between freepers which turned ugly. I am talking about unasked-for and unresponded-to harassing and insulting emails.

Why the big split? I think it does have to do race, more than some want to admit.

One more post from you on any immigration thread or one more complaint of a FReepmail message like the one you sent to Travis and your account is permanently banned.

Well, he was a great candidate.

Lets see whether he can deliver the goods now that he is Mayor of LA.

I don't have high expectations...

The guys who wrote The Macarena were from Spain, not Mexico. There is a difference, you know.

"Why I should not post on immigration threads?"

Lol, are YOU freakin' kidding??

You've engaged in a FR scorched-earth policy, yet been given every benefit of doubt.... and still you have the audacity to ask this question of JR??

My wife is an immigrant,

Amen.

Cost me 7500 bucks in 1988 to get my Brasilian ex-wife legal in Miami after she had come up with me preggers and all.

And the INS folks were downright mean about it all.

Someone else mentioned that to me once as a possible analogy to today in the US.

Thanks...I will look it up.

I'm way out on a limb here but it seems Puerto Ricans and Dominicans go for all out urban in areas that are already heavily minority.

Of course I just sawed off said limb when one looks at Dade County and the Cubanos.

It may simply be as simple as the more African the Latino...the more likely to adopt native Black American cultural ways. Still....I think that logic is way flawed too.

I think the Puerto Ricans bring the leftist bent with them from the island.

That said....there are exceptions in those groups.

It's like why do cowboy-western and southern whites vote R more than northern or left coast whites?

Culture I assume.

Why are rural Southern blacks more culturally conservative then their rust belt cousins? I know this one to be a solid fact btw. Again....I reckon culture.

Why are men more conservative than women?

LOL...ain't touching that one...now way.

Why are the Caymans successful and Jamaica in trouble?....both are mostly black nations. I don't know. Probably has to do with where they started. Caymans started with mostly shipwreck descendents and a few slaves. Jamaica started with about an 80% freed population in 1836 but should have stayed a Brit colony in 1960.

Why is Haiti so screwed up? I blame the French.

I found your report hard to believe so I checked it myself.

What you said is all too correct. What a disappointment. Hard to imagine Hugh doing this.

What's next for Hugh, a paean of effusive praise for Ted Kennedy?

I prefer to judge people by their loyalty to their nation. Mine is America, and I am loyal to it. I don't care if someone who came here legally is from Viet Nam or Russia or Mexico, as long as they are loyal to America now. And if someone's family has been in this nation for 25 or 250 or 25,000 years, as long as they are loyal to America they are my brother or sister.

OTOH, if someone is covertly dedicated to erasing our borders, and melding America into a world government, or retaking the Southwest to create "Aztlan," they are my enemy. And in that case, I don't care how long they have been in this great nation.

Worth posting again...I tried, but unfortunately it doesn't fit in my tag line...
