Lear, I really don't post much as I'm as casual observer on these boards. I enjoy the banter as much as anyone, but this post was absolutely and totally ignorant.

You must be a WASP living in the burbs, behind a gate and happily driving your SUV to Costco on days off. I can tell you as a Mexican American, college educated airline pilot I have been treated unfairly countless times.

One night inparticular, as I was driving to a friends house in an affluent commnity I was stopped. My passenger and I were each questioned seperately, backgrounds checked and then left with a stern warning. "If there are any reports of activity in this neighborhood tonight, you two boys are the first I'm looking for" This what the cop said to us. Maybe my "airport" car looked out of place, but my money is on my skin color.

Racism is alive and well. As your post clearly demostrated.

I totally agree that racism is alive and well.

For example, I was driving through a hispanic neighborhood here in the South Phoenix area when all of a sudden my car starts getting hit with rocks. I look over and its men and women doing it...and they weren't the gangbanger kids that you'd think would be doing that. They were just angry that a white person was in their 'hood. Then they called me some racial names. Thats about the time I stepped on the gas pedal. Alot of my friends have similar stories Mozzer so I know exactly what you're talking about.

Look at the bright side...at least you don't feel like your life is in danger when you drive through white neighborhoods.

Now, now. He does have to worry about getting run over by a soccer mom on her way to COSTCO.
 
Wow, what a bunch of racist pricks on this board. Just goes to show that racism is alive and well.

No one gives a darn until the race card gets played. And folks are sick of it because it rears its head all too often in places it doesn't belong. When some "reverend" shows up and blackmails a company with legal action and bad press into hiring people of a certain race, that is going to cause some hard feelings. The USA isn't a charity organization, although there is a growing disease called liberalism that assumes just that. You can do well for yourself here with hard work and an education; things the liberals would like to replace with things called welfare and affirmative action.
 
The biggest racist alive is black, Al Sharpton. Racism is alive, just read the newspaper. And for the Mexican-American who was harassed, do what everyone else does-SUE. Its the American way.
 
Why are white people the only ones that are required to be racially tolerant? The same rule doesn't apply to folks of color. Blacks and Latinos can be as bigoted as they please and none hold them to account.

You must have spent some time in the A T L. Racism is alive and well here and it most certainly goes both ways when it comes to black v. white.

Edit: Oops, didn't see N1VIBS post just a bit above mine. Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed!

This guy is a perfect example of the point I made earlier. He has no intellectual argument so he just goes around calling everybody racist.

Are we supposed to be intimidated or something?
