There is no evidence that this vandalism was racially motivated. Next,
Then the house went up in flames in a suspected arson.
The morality of vigilanteism notwithstanding, again, no evidence of racism. But then,
Confrontations, name-calling and threats against Hispanics followed.
Okay, now what happened to get to that point? I don't mean to sound insensitive to racism, and it is certainly possible that there are a bunch of ignorant stupid racists using this as an opportunity to target all "Hispanics", but how did it get to this? I'm just suspicious. I would think the ENTIRE community, including the Hispanic members of the community, should have been outraged and angry over the rape of a child.
I think it is very interesting that it is assumed that the vandal and the arsonist were white, and not outraged Hispanics. Did the Hispanic community in any way try to defend the perpetrator? Hide him? Assist him in getting out of town?
At first the outrage was NOT racially motivated, as the evidence clearly shows. The vigilante acts were directed against the perpetrator, and not any particular racial group. What made the attitudes change to the point that the whole community is antagonistic towards Hispanics as a group, and not just this one perpetrator?
I support better control of our borders and stronger immigration laws, but I can't support racism.
Excellent points!
It's amazing how people of the Liberal mental bent can turn anything to a discussion about their favorite topics: racism and a need for "dialouge".
What this boils down to and really all the immigration and African-American discussion boil down to is does someone or a group of someones want to integrate into the US or not. Yes there are a few people who might be against immigrants just because they are immigrants, but most people have no problem with people coming here to work IF THEY ADOPT THE CULTURE THAT LEADS TO ALL THESE JOBS BEING AVAILABLE. That is what the Irish, Italians, Jews ect over the years have done. That is not what is being done when you are told "it is a black thing, you would not understand."
Unfortunately the Dims have found political advantage to pitting groups against each other and maintaining group identity. This is evidenced by Dims always bowing and scraping and saying I can not fully appreciate what it is like to be a member of this or that group. Pitting groups against each other rather than inviting them to adopt US culture and values is harmful to the country and bad for the culture.
....BINGO!....it happens all time here in this little town that is almost 50% Hispanic.
They lie for them, hide them and help them flee!
You ask too many good and pertinent question in #3.
Hence, you shall be banished from the Kingdom.
Why? We've had people on this forum advocate nuking Mexico City. (I assume they are serious from their other posts.)
when did Hispanic become a race? I missed the memo.
"I would think the ENTIRE community, including the Hispanic members of the community, should have been outraged and angry over the rape of a child."
You mean the same kind of outrage displayed by the American Muslim Community after 9/11? *Insert Deafening Silence Here*
Sorry. In a perfect world it would work that way, but...
