My great grandparents were immigrants as well, the legal way. Man oh man our forefathers and ancestors would be sick seeing the land they fought so hard for, to be a part of, in shambles like this. We gotta stay together guys.

Being white and christian God forbid I state my views in this country. I'm instantly a racist, angry white male.
Where are you guys seeing this hate? Are you being told that this is a problem by TV? Are these encounters you've had yourself, or what?Quote:
I ask myself all the time- since when did the white man go ... to being pretty much evil in all eyes
I don't see it. Never have problems with anyone. I've never gotten shit for being white or male. Are you going out of your way to troll people? I'm not saying there aren't people racist against whites, but it's just such a small minority I don't know how or where you'd be interacting with them ... Or feel that it's really a problem. There are bigots of every stripe, they're a slim and shrinking minority.
I just can't understand the fear or rage here.

Someone actually said this to you? Just a random person on the street? WTF Where?Quote:

Hoosier, there is hardly fear here. Imagine a young black man of the same age as me standing up in a town hall meeting and saying "I'm black and I'm proud of it". Instantly he has people applauding, numerous organizations that are PRO BLACK and anti white supporting his statement. Now imagine me standing up and saying the same in my own terms. I'm white and I'm proud of it, I'm also proud to be a Christian. Let's just say I wouldn't get the same support in today's society. So I'm less enraged or afraid of it, but more just sick of apologizing to the PC world for who I am. Make sense?Quote:

We'd have every organization that is pro black sending our spineless government out to put a stop to it.
Great rant!
I am so sick of "We the People" accepting this, justifying it, making excuses for it or blaming fellow Americans for it! What a joke!
How many of you have tried to refinance your house, modify the terms of your house or even lost your house in this economy? If it hasn't affected you personally, my money is you know a family member or friend or a friend of a friend etc. And I'm not talking about someone who took a risky arm or interest only loan. Talking about those of us who bought our house with a 30 year fixed rate, when the market was high, in good faith that it would maintain IT’S VALUE. Now the same bastards that made you the loan won’t talk to you unless you have thousands of dollars to put down... you know what I’m done with my rant. You get the idea, what another joke!
THIS IS AMERICA!!!!
If you read history about the Irish and Scottish, They too were enslaved, for far longer than American slavery. Especially the Irish. Throw that back into their face next time. They tend to shut right up.Quote:

I routinely have to check myself to see if I'm just being paranoid and over the top. It sucks when I realize that my concerns are grounded in reality. It's amazing how things have gone to hell and are only getting worse.
