THE black community has made great strides in the last few decades. Racism has certainly not been eradicated, but it is no longer accepted with a wink and a nod as it once was.

Racism is indeed accepted mainly from the black community. Just this morning I saw an interview on C-SPAN II in which an African-American author discussed his book about diiving to the wreck of a slave ship.

When asked why he was along on the dive he said to write an article for the magazine for the National Association of Black Scuba Divers. If there was an Association of White Scuba Divers they would be called racists.

National Association of Black Scuba Divers.

You gotta be kidding me! Unfrickinbelievable.

I think this man has a very good point, however. Illegal immigration is definitely hurting those states that have to deal with most of them. There is no way I will believe that there is an economic advantage to allowing all these illegals. And this man is right about the number that live in a single house and have chickens in the yard. It's all true and it's really pretty disgusting. The last thing this country needs is to turn its boroughs into Mexico.

If that idiot Vicente Fox would get off his duff and do something about Mexico instead of always insisting that it's the US's responsibility to handle this problem, we might get somewhere. And our politicians are hardly doing any better what with in-state tuition for illegals, etc. It's crazy.

I wonder . . . . would they accept for publication an article by a white guy named Angus Black?

or are they just fixated on skin color, like those "racist Republicans"?
