Either way, you can't say "democrat" without the RAT.
I think this is a damn fine move. Just dandy! God Bless him for the courage to refuse to ignore the elephant in the room. Good for him! Kudos!
It's ashame it's taken this long for an elected Republican in Washington to take on the CBC.
Easiest way to fix it is to form a "White Caucus!"
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
yeah, white caucus sounds good since we are now a minority as well. so many minorities, we are all a minority.
In my opinion, you, like many, are so emotionally close the the topic that you've taken what Tom has said, and in personalizing it, found insult, and rejected it. He has never implied that all Cuban Americans were illegal aliens. And I disagree....if Cuban Americans, though here legally, no matter what their contribution, have refused to assimilate, they are not helpful to either Miami or the rest of country. If non-Cuban Americans visiting Miami, or non-"Chicanos" visiting East LA area, must learn to speak Spanish, I too have a problem with that. And where your example falls short is two-fold, in that 1) I can visit Boston or New York city and not need to know how to speak the native languages of the Irish, Italian or Jews who migrated and have assimilated and 2) Miami is not an 'internationally' vibrant city when it is saturated with a single nationality that refuses to assimilate. That being said, none of what I've said should be 'alienating' to those like your family, of Cuban heritage, wishing to assimilate.
Of course. One good turn deserves another
Gee, looks like I've taught you this computer stuff pretty well. Sneaky aintcha??
:D
Well said - there are no "White Activists" just "White Racists".
