You seem not to undertand that I completely support the Arizona law. I disagree that “a law cannot be racist”. A law can be racist, but the the ARizona law is not.

P;ease learn to read.

No in reference your dribble Post #2 It is you who does not understand!!! nothing in Germany was Illegal or racist in those days and using 50+ year old analogy's is off the mark JUST a bit! Now in regards to your reading comment; was your Proctologist able to save your pet hamster ? Read that OK???

I never said illegal.

No example, no matter how old, could be off the mark. If your these is: “a law cannot be racist” and there was ever in histroy a law that was racist, then your thesis is proved wrong. There is no statute of limitations on facts.

The Nuremberg laws were the very definition of racist:

The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 codified German citizenship as the product of German blood, as defined by German anthropologists, biologists, and doctors. They also outlawed sexual intercourse between “pure” Germans and German Jews, and the employment of women under forty-five by Jews. In the Nazi mind and model, as in the eugenic one, procreation was the locus of racial protection. These laws affected German and foreigner alike. In fact, the list of racial threats expanded with the German Third Reich: Pole, Czech, and Slav all became racial threats as Germany entered Poland, Bohemia, southeastern Europe, and Russia. Suspect populations also lived among people who otherwise saw themselves as German. Political deviants, in particular, were seen as threats to the race and many ultimately followed paths to the concentration camp and gas chamber along with the Nazis’ Jewish victims. Socialists, communists, homosexuals, and Jehovah’s Witnesses all came to represent biological threats to the pure Aryan, and their removal from society was justified along racial lines.

Re the hamster, I have no idea what you are referrig to.

Race - Funny how powerful and prevalent it is for something that supposedly doesn’t exist.

Racist and racism the only thing that matters in today’s world. Deferring to charges of either has become the pinnacle of our existence & government. How bizarre and completely disemboweled this nation has become.

But I never said anything about legality versus illegality. I commented only on whether a law could be racist. The Nuremeberg laws prove that a law can be racist. Period.

Kab must have got hit with a falling Coconut and missed the VERY first sentence:”Is the Arizona law racist? Not only no, but obviously no. And for the simple logical reason that a law cannot be racist, only people can.”

After that Fair Game, Got it?????

Thank you for writing. I appreciate it.
Few things are more disheartening than having abuse hurled at one by people with whom essentially agrees — Law in Arizona is good, law in Arizona is not racist — but contrary to the thesis of the original article posted, yes it is possible that A LAW at one time has been or could be.
