Jeb Bush Speaks of Firsthand Knowledge on Discrimination
NY Times ^ | 7/28/15 | Alan Rappeport

Posted on 07/28/2015 7:38:55 AM PDT by jimbo123

Married to a woman from Mexico and fluent in Spanish, Jeb Bush shares his Hispanic ties proudly. But he has also seen firsthand the painful side of discrimination.

In an interview conducted in Spanish with Telemundo, Mr. Bush, the former Florida governor who is running for president, explained the influence that Hispanic culture has had on his family and opened up about his son’s first brush with racism.

Mr. Bush said that his son, George P. Bush, is “brown-skinned” and that as a child when he traveled from Miami to Ocala to play in a baseball game he was taunted because of it.

If you're attractive as well you can be certain there will be times when you are ‘avoided” and “ignored”. Or have those who like you for other reasons then to be just friendly.

That would never be said to be “discriminatory”....but the behavior of others definitely fits the mode.

Does anyone know if his wife is even in the country legally? Maybe that could explain his desire for unconditional amnesty and unchecked Mexican immigration.

Isn’t that cute. Hebbie trying to play the racis’ card just like his buddy Barack.

Yeah, he will have GPB out next talking about his typical white Grandmother Barbara Bush.

Yes. Jeb, completely white, was discriminated against, and this is reason enough to sacrifice the sovereignty of this country to third and forth world trash so he can feel vindicated in his marriage to a Mexican. I’m glad it makes this geek feel so good and makes him think he can relegate my heirs to the ills of his wife’s cousins of unknown origin.

well apparently these kids have accents..

so it seems like Jebbie wasn’t too concerned about making sure his boys learnt English as their first language or acted American..

He loved the Mexicans so much that he wanted his own kids to be undocumented Mexicans .. and so their were..

if the kid went to a strange school for sports and acted like a wetback, and spoke in Spanish etc the other kids acted accordingly..

after all back then there were laws that were enforced..

the Bush kid should have been taught to be an American,,,

I have found as a general rule that children of this era do not “taunt” one another over their skin color.

Whether that is due to enforced political correctness, or just the fact that it simply does not matter to them, it appears to be the case.

Jeb Bush is not who we want nor need as a President.....he lacks all of the “it” required and simply is on the other side of what’s best for this nation.

Were it left to Jeb Bush there would be no border at all! Which of course IS the Globalist Elites intent...controlled but never as a means of preventing people from coming in...rather as a means of controlling and making easier the ‘commodity’ of human workers coming and going.

I don’t understand why Latinos get race-status treatment here. They may be fewer in number than whites, but we have a sovereign nation and we did not force them to come here, certainly not as slaves. Most current Latinos are the product of illegal immigration.

Boo hoo. My kids have been spit at, touched inappropriately, and threatened that if they returned to school that they would get their head cut off with a pair of scissors. Taunting is nothing. Get over it.
