Stereotype Judgments Often Fail Us
Flopping Aces ^ | 09-13-10 | Skookum

There has been a failure in the system. You wont read about it in your newspaper- you wont hear about it on the radio; however it happened and now I live with the consequences.

Pride is a word that is hard to define. Many of us would never ask for help, except as a last resort. How many of us would starve rather than asking for help?

We are being overrun with illegal aliens from mexico, states like California are facing bankruptcy, at least in part, because of the drain on the public services provided illegal aliens in the form of health care, education, ad welfare payments. Many of these illegal aliens work extremely hard to provide for their families and many 'game' the system like a racket or con game. It is a sad situation that affects most of the country.

I am against illegal immigration, but I don't have a badge and it isn't my responsibility. Especially, now that President Obama is threatening police who try to enforce our laws against illegal aliens; however, there are many legal Hispanics that we assume are illegal because of their poor English or their humble living circumstances. That is when our concept of stereotypes fails us.

I never go to bars, when you look like me, there is always someone in there that wants to be beat up and they inevitably try to start a fight with the biggest, baddest looking, hard ass guy in the bar and that is usually me, naturally I try to avoid bars.

BS, the more common reaction is to try and connect with with the bad ass guy, losers consistently attract negative fight attention but not bad asses that are decent fellows, the bar customer world loves them, because they offer security and safety against bullies and can stabilize a volatile atmosphere of weak and hot headed personalities by simply being there.

But apparently you feel it's your responsibility to write a condescending opinion piece about it. Thanks for the lecture - NOT!

Funny isn't it? The author tries to write a piece about the compassion we should have for hispanics but can't resist telling us he's the baddest ass in the place wherever he goes.

I have compassion for INDIVIDUALS, not ethnic groups. As for the author, LeRoy Brown, he better stay away from Slim.

Why should I have compassion for Hispanics any more than any other ethnic group? My lack of compassion isn't toward Hispanics, it's toward any person living in America illegally, taking advantage our way of life and not contributing to our society. In fact, they're an economic drain on our society. No, I have no compassion for them. But not because they're Hispanic, it's because they're leeches.

Geez, another "And let me tell you something else" moment. I had one last night at our city council meeting, now this. I have to lighten up...
