Facebook Group: It's not racism stupid! You are here ILLEGALLY!

Edited on Wed May-26-10 08:50 AM by L. Coyote

I find the idea of calling anyone "stupid" both ignorant and offensive.

A group created by an Obama hater:

Send a message to Michael O'Leary = http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1348510299

Group page = http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=118640654828966

The site is directed at Hispanics: "This is not a White Supremicist site. I have Hispanic friends. ..."

Report/Block this Person for hate speech = http://www.facebook.com/ajax/report.php?type=0&cid=1348510299&rid=1348510299&h=a2a670c9f0

2. The problem is...

...there are quite a few Hispanics who have just as much of a problem with illegal immigrants as do non-Hispanic whites. I've even seen Hispanics get involved in stuff like the Minutemen; Morgan Spurlock profiled one of them on his 30 Days series.

4. Shut the door after me

There's no one quite as good at being a bouncer as the last one admitted to the party. They'll make quite sure that those on the outside know that they are now enjoying the benefits of being on the inside.

9. Some Hispanics are white. And some, like in any group, are idiots.

3. the racism part is not the illegals, the racism part is the citizens that will be profiled

5. so another post

telling us we are racists if we expect the FEDERAL laws to be followed

how is "hispanic" a race? it is not
it is a language group that encompasses many races including asians(fujimura of peru)backs(pele)whites(king carlos of spain)

the expectation that laws will be followed does not make one a racist

7. Do you really not understand the problem or is this your FB group?

This law is a racist law. It depends upon the use of racial profiling for enforcement. And FEDERAL law makes racial profiling illegal in this country.

That page is directed at them, right?

S/he/it has those desert pics from that group that SPLC lists as "extremist nativist" up but now I forget which group they're from.

11. Is everyone of those included?

Edited on Wed May-26-10 09:59 AM by Brewman_Jax

There's an estimated 2-4 million illegal immigrants from Europe. I'm sure that they don't want to be left out. :dunce:

After all, we don't want anyone doing anything illegal!

15. And, how about all the people hiring gardeners off some corner?

When have you heard of a law being passed to make sure those hiring an undocumented worker go to jail for their crimes?

14. Maybe the best use of this information it to tuck it away

for the next time someone says this has nothing to do with racism.

I feel sorry for the poor SPLC right now.
