Federal Appeals Court Judge Said Blacks, Hispanics ‘Predisposed To Crime,’ Lawsuit Alleges

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Being in two different services, Army then Navy, I can say that it's there but you are right, there is a common thread bonding everyone together regardless of who they were when the chips were down.

And as a society we have made leaps and bounds in terms of equality, but I hate having to be tolerated, since I'm as American as anyone else here. And being of a darker shade, I can tell you, I feel it anytime I go somewhere with my wife and we are the only minorities in the immediate area.

For the Memorial Day weekend, Chelsea and Manchester City played here in St. Louis for the first time. They converted the baseball stadium into a soccer field. Sold out game, 45,500 tickets in 20 minutes. Grace of God I got her seats since she loves Chelsea. After the game, we were leaving and caught in a group of folks trying to leave. There was this one guy, loud and drunk just talking crazy since Man City won. I expected that since soccer is a pretty passionate game. Out of all the folks trying to leave, this dude looks starts trying to heckle me because he say she had a Chelsea shirt on. Yelling at me about I must be mad since they lost and they suck. I just nodded and kept walking, he got louder and kept talking to me, my wife grabbed my hand and said don't say a word. She said when we got in the car, you're the only black person here, if you got into it, chances are they would have beaten you to death.

Stop stealing my lines!!!!

No way.Sports affiliations trump race every time. I would beat Rush Limbaugh to death if he hollered Go Gators and attacked Al Sharpton who was hollering Go dawgs. .

True.

My wife was filling out an application that asked, "Are you Hispanic?"

I told her, "Answer, 'Yes.'"

"Why? I am Filipino."

"Were the Philippines part of the Spanish Empire at one time?"

"Yes."

"Then you are Hispanic."

"Is that why everybody thinks I am Mexican and tries to speak Spanish to me?"

"Yes."

That's funny.

My daughter is 14 and tells me that my fiance looks Mexican.

When I tell my fiancee that she looks Mexican she says "So Mexican's look like Filipino's there?" I just say yes and laugh...
