Somebody forgot a barf alert! Maybe the mods can add one.

Most conservatives and immigration activists love the Minutemen.

[Mr. Mojo]

GOP conservatives and immigration reformers denounce their [the Minutemen's] borderline-racist rants.

First of all, the MMP takes great care to keep racists away from their ranks. .....and wisely so. The author has to resort to the "borderline-racist" card knowing full well that the MMP's statements and policies are expressly anti-racist.

Secondly, the GOPers who've been denouncing the MMP are no conservatives.

Good article, ignore the flamers. Guess multiculturalism isn't everything the Democrats promised it would be.

Many blacks will no longer work the menial, low-skilled factory, restaurant, and custodial jobs that they filled in decades past. The pay is too low, the work too hard, and the indignities too great.

Working manual-labor jobs is not undigified. In fact, it's just as dignified as any other work if you show up regularly and work hard/responsibly.

.....a helluva lot more dignified that hanging out on street corners drinking malt liquor and collecting welfare checks. ....or resorting to a life of crime. Seems many confuse dignity with wearing tons of bling bling and rolling in pimped-out rides with hos on each arm.

A shrinking economy, failing public schools, savage government cuts to job-training programs, a soaring prison population, and employment discrimination are still the major reasons for the poverty and grim employment prospects in inner-city black neighborhoods.

So according to the author the reason "many poor young blacks are on the streets and have turned to gangs and drug dealing to get ahead" is not because of the breakdown of the black family but because of the usual -- "the white man's holding the black man down." Hutchinson and his blame-whitey-first brothers/sisters would do well to look in the mirror.

The illegal immigrant is taking jobs away from any person working in the labor industry,no matter what his or her color.There are a lot of companies that hire two or three illegal aliens and pay all three a combined wage equal to one American worker.I've talked to a few people in the construction industry who lost a job that paid between four and six hundred dollars a week because the company replaced them with illegal immigrants.

The guy who typed in his feeeeeeeeeeelings is a poor excuse for a typical Leninist propagandist but he tried.

Wilson also got nearly 20 percent of the black vote that election (double what Republicans in California typically get from blacks).

Nary a word about the other Americans (of Hispanic descent) -- 25% of the "Latino" vote was for Wilson in 1994 and about 30% of the "Latino" vote was for Prop 187.

Arizona's Prop 200 got almost 50 percent of the vote of Americans of Hispanic origin.

Why do so many think that being against ILLEGAL immigration will alienate Americans of Latino origin? Go figure.

BTW, speaking of Gov. Wilson -- if he "destroyed" the California Republican Party by supporting Prop 187, why did he have his highest approval rating (55%) when he was termed out of office four years later?

*PING!* and a BARF alert!

Recently, near the close of a spirited community forum on black and Latino relations in South Los Angeles, a young black man in the audience stood up and proudly, even defiantly, shouted that he was a member of the Minuteman Project. This is the fringe group that has waged a noisy, gun-toting and headline-grabbing campaign to shut down the Mexican border to illegal immigrants.
GOP conservatives and immigration reformers denounce their borderline-racist rants.

Uh...no...only the OBL-morons and the current occupants of La Hacienda Blanco and their lickspittles "denounce" the Minutemen...the rest of America not only praises, but absolutely SUPPORTS them!

But thanks for trying, you left-wing pultroons!

He must be stealing his material from Morris Dees and the FROBLs.

Blah, blah, blah. If you don't agree with me on immigration policy, you're a racist. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

So now Blacks are racists?
