27. HOSTILITY is what I am talking about!
What color am I? What ethnic variety am I?

Do you just grab at any chance to get defensive? Or could you actually listen to what I'm saying?
There is hostility being bred by the very FEW things I mentioned.
Its all related to the growing feeling of disrespect for the Engligh Language and the American Flag beneath another country's.

Is it that difficult for you to understand how some may feel demeaned by these actions?
Racist I am NOT. It is about the illegal immigration of another country into America..that we are discussing Hispanic at the moment does not absolve any other immigrant from illegal entry.

My own Hispanic friends managed to learn the English language, and arrived here legally. There is a bit of hostility on their part towards the illegals, however!! Did you realize that the Hispanic people who did arrive here legally harbor some resentment for those who chose to come here illegally?
I have talked to a few who feel that way..
I didn't expect you to know that.

I resent your flaming and the fact that your immediate defensivness towards me..do you know anything about me?..has told me simply that I cannot offer an observation nor an opinion about what I see or read or hear daily, without being called racist, and lumped in with the Tony Snow fuckin bunch.

I am allowed, in this America, still believe I am anyway, to state an opinion or an observation without an attack of hostility. Do not call me racist..I would have a problem with any immigrant who spit on my language and demeaned my generosity regardless of what country their from. I was born in this country..a country where everyone I've ever known has an ancestry somewhere else. I'm quite used to races other than my own. Its not race that's the problem, its the behavior that is though.

Do you get the point now?

I don't know what you or anyone is going to do about this, but I hope you look at the picture as other Americans might be seeing it.

Do you not see that certain behaviors of the current push for amnesty may indeed be viewed by Americans as demeaning?
How can you not see that?
