Anti-immigration hysteria holds 17M Latino voters hostage

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

perhaps being a bit more clear instead of making such a statement that seemed to point out unnamed vj members would be a start......

Whatever happened to benefit of the doubt?

I thought you only applied that to those that you fancy that day?

Well its more that I don't understand the need to take a misunderstanding personally - certainly not when the other person has been pretty up-front with their views, and has clarified them where necessary.

you know it brother....just like Lenin took russia,.,amerika will be ours..i blowing yo mt rushmore and repalcing it with lennon and the marx brothers

LOL ...and we need to carve Cheech in there for our Mexcan brethen comrade recruits.

i agree..

Mexican komrade responding to the kall... planning on inundating See-@-TL with spicy-hot bombs in public bathrooms

And, "in topic"... I hear you pedroh, Latin Americans (for understanding of my hate of the panoptic term "hispanic" or "latino", see Peter McLaren, 1999) who are legal residents or citizens in the country are indeed upset and feel prosecuted. Heck, I don't even vote yet and I am. But really, who cares what a Mexican like moi has to say? it's just the flavour du jour so we might as well swallow it with salsa verde... AS IF.

I declare I don't understand what I am being accused of, speaking for America? That doesn't make any sense. I have made what I thought was a simple statement of fact, there are bigots in America, bigoted against Hispanics. They make their presence felt because they are very vocal in their activities. What percentage there are I don't know, but their voice does negatively impact on anyone who looks Hispanic. I don't make this stuff up.

word on that.. I don't know what we did wrong for so much hate I guess is because we refuse to make spanish a nice memory, and we have OMG the badz, tv stations, and ads in spanish! and OMG 2 para español! worst crime ever

Even so - she specifically referenced an anecdote that happened to Gary's wife that did not otherwise involve members of VJ. Is it so hard to admit that you might have misintrepreted what she said, to the point where you have to berate her for not being clear enough for you?

and the swipes start (or continue). can all attempt a discussion without it erupting?

Well however you want to justify it - it doesn't really change my point.

Gary understood what I said and even posted a response that made sense in that context. Or, at least that's what I think I see when I read what he wrote.
