Nothing odd about it, you notice what part of town the Sportsman Warehouse is in? Every time I've gone there I guarantee you I'm the only Anglo shopper.

well maybe someone was just trying out a new cd that they bought down the street at the flea market. It could not of been worse than that junk they were playing at the last seratoma gun show.
I went in a few weeks ago to stare at the empty ammunition shelfs and was surprized to see some ammunition for sale. alas it was all 38 super so that may tie into the music also.
I really hope they do not close.
maybe they need a request line....
I'm calling bs on that. Big time.Quote:

Being okay with a private business playing spanish music - for whatever reason - means that its okay to secede Colorado to Mexico?
What planet are you on, man?
Who are you kidding? It already has been...
Are you serious?
Well what is the reason for playing 3 out of 4 songs in Spanish at a Sportsman's Warehouse in Colorado Springs at 11:00 on a Saturday morning? I didn't hear any Spanish speaking customers and by estimation 95% of the customers where white. I guess I'm on planet "aware my enviroment".Quote:

An observation: just because I put the name on here doesn't mean I idealize the old bandit as a hero. In addition, I have to ask: if they were non-white Americans would it have been okay, or did you say "white americans" for no reason whatsoever?Quote:

The thread that just won't die!
SW sucks no matter what they play.
End the thing already! Move to Greenland if you don't want to see Mexicans. They are here. They aren't leaving. Lets work on stopping the flow. Lets integrate the ones who want to call the USA home. Again SW sucks. Buy your stuff elsewhere and call ahead to see what music they are playing and plan to play. This is getting so old. I bet almost no one on this site is from America originally unless your an Indian or something. Hell CO us to be owned by Mexico didn't it. No surprise they wouldn't still be here or want to be here. If I was Mexican and it sucked were I was from I would do all I could to get out of there and go somewhere better. Can you blame the race for that!

Even if this isn't a gag, its still hilarious.
1. No one ever mentioned anything about seeing Mexicans.Quote:

4. Indians aren't even orginally from The USA.
5. You are right. I would leave Mexico too if It sucked. I just hope the USA doesn't start to suck like Mexico. You know what I mean?
1. Someone, I think you said you didn't see any (non-Anglo) while there.Quote:

2.Your right
3. Could be right there but I give a fuck.
4.More so than you and I. Thanks for the history lesson I already knew.
5.Thanks. And I agree about the not sucking, but it already is from many different things not just them (Mexicans). I understand where your coming from.
Lets see how many pages this can go![Bang]
See? And this sort of thing when the we're already in trouble for torture. Changing my presets to spanish radio stations? That's just plain cruel!Quote:

Here is a census for Columbus, NM in 1913

1. Your post(s) make it look like your seemingly indoctrinated political correctness is offended by frank talk.
2. What were the surnames of those killed @ Columbus? I believe they are exclusively anglo.
3. Pancho Villa's reasons were monetary and racial. My recollection is that he raided Columbus because of weapondry he was promised by Americans and as a punitve measure to kill white Americans because of the deal gone south. Leon Metz-The Border
4. I you don't like my observations, don't read the my posts.
Thats not racist, its statistically accurate.
What kind of music does Gander Mtn play?
Not going to happen here. Whats the fun with everyone just agreeing with everything said. You have your views and everyone else has theirs...Just a secret but its just a view. Not a fact. I like that you are bothered by this illegal invasion. I am too. Funny thing is that nothing will come of it. No big GOV. gonna do anything to help.Quote:

Trust me, political correctness is over rated. People who doesn't know me would assume I am just another racist snob sometimes. I challenged the false facts that you presented. Don't get offended or take it too personally. Call me whatever you feel necessary.. I have no prob. with that. :)Quote:

Not exactly. Historians from both sides of the border did mention about defective American ammo which he received.Quote:

3 of those raiders were white americans. I am not claiming myself as History buff, but I do love to read, and American history is extremely interesting to me. To the best of my recollection on the topic, Pancho posse killed any civilians they could find until they hit the down town area, where the US soldiers were forming a defensive line on a small mount and effectively killed many of the riders w/ 'machine gun' as they charged.
LOL.. we aren't kids are we? Should I say if you don't like any responses, don't post then?Quote:
4. I you don't like my observations, don't read the my posts.
Please don't turn a historical event into racial issue. Because one can argue that the 10000 union soldiers under Gen Persing then kicked all the minority out of columbus - drove into northern Mexico and commit things that we don't like to mention. It was a raid - by mostly spanish posse into mostly white town. Leave it at that.
as far as how far this thread could go... you are it! :)
M8,
I stand by my posts. I was born and lived in the county Columbus was in for over 30 years, aside from going to the next county over for college, also on the Mexican border.
Call all the BS you want.Quote:

Note that most of the time I only saw 2 or 3 other customers as well.
Seeing as how you're way over in 94.92% White Teller County (compared to only 80.66% here in CS), maybe you don't get to that part of The Springs all that often, but its very much in the middle of "The Barrio" (such as one exists here).
My point was that there's really no reason to be all that upset about the Spanish music there if its catering to the majority of their customer base. Now if the store were up by the Chapel Hills mall (deep in White suburbia) maybe the OP would have a little more to complain about.
I have also been to SW's over a dozen times easily. I stand by my bs assertion. Maybe you are leaving your sunglasses on when you go in there...Quote:

Well I'm not going to argue with your experience, but I stand by mine ... maybe it has something to do with time of day (for me its usually around lunch time or right after work ... maybe the white folk shop there on the weekend)Quote:

So I stand by my original assessment ... the choice of music is a reflection of the majority of the customer base, not some evil La Raza plot to legalize illegals or reclaim the southwest for Azatlan.

1. Why did you state that above?
2. Are you Latino?
1. The original poster posted that there was Spanish music playing in the store and that this somehow offended him. I guess some people see the encroachment of Mexican culture into American culture as some sort of plot against American sovereignty and/or culture. I certainly agree that amnesty for illegals and refusal to secure the border are, but I don't believe some Tejano music at a sporting goods store in a Latino neighborhood is.Quote:
