10. I could easily tell you of many situations where the
hostility I speak of is a reality. You must know that not all immigrants are friendly towards Americans and this, my friend is what I am talking about.
I know many Hispanic co-workers, families and their beautiful children..great people they are, as there are many great and good within every culture that makes up America.
I refuse to look at the whole big picture and close my eyes to the reality of hostility being created, however.

Its there. Period.

Do you realize that it is a reality also? Do you give a darn about it? Do you know that when you use the word "white guys" you are separating races?

Get used to the hostility , then. Because the way America has evolved as the great melting pot it is, is also by the tolerance of many, many cultures..living under one roof. I do not see any other culture in this Nation making the demands in such a hostile way as the Hispanic culture is currently doing.
Can they possibly show any respect for this America by at least not placing America's language beneath theirs nor raising their flag higher than the American flag?

We're not asking much. I could not condone this in any other foreign Nation..Why would you think America should welcome such disrespect.

Thats all I'm talking about.

As I said..my rant is based a lot on what I hear and what I read in my daily life..There is a degree of hostility that's been bred by the behavior I spoke of.. This brings me to worry about where this hostility will eventually be played out. Innocents, no doubt.

Do you realize how many other ethnic cultures there are in this Nation? Hispanics are not the only foreigners...we are ALL from somewhere else.
Get It?

Go ahead and fight for what you believe in but do consider that many Americans are feeling as though the immmigrants whom they DID welcome have come with much disrespect for this Great America.
