The rising Tide of Racism or something else?

Not being able to sleep tonight, I am writing this post hashing over a conversation I had earlier with a friend. The conversation started with racist comments, and since I was going to loose my sleep anyway, I might as well write about this topic on my blog. It all started with a comment from a white friend of mine (Italian American) who stated in a conversation about problems of the poor in the US and the immigrant problem. It then started me into an interesting hashing out over the issues in more detail and logical thought, something sometimes lacking today. I'll try to replicate the points of my conversation in a fair and balance way (no I'm not Fox News).

My friend pointed out that illegal mexican immigrants have an unfair advantage to us born in the USA with getting help like through Social Service programs and others when it is needed. I don't really see how the illegal immigrants (mainly hispanics to clarify) have it so easy to get social service programs like food stamps, free rent, medical assistance and other benefits when the reality is they have no real verifiable documentation to use. Many in the Welfare and Social Services office asking for help know just how difficult it really is to get qualified for various programs of assistance so exactly how would we think it is any easier for someone here illegally with little or no documentation? That is reality people, the hype pushed is a myth. Every day the local Social Services offices, Hospital's and other government agencies turn away sometimes perfectly needy US citizens from their services and if you don't believe me then you not aware of what is really going on today. So you really have to ask yourself why this need to keep us at each others throats fighting among ourselves? It's simple, the problem is really not racial but social classes. The middle class in need of help (and especially the poor) are treated by the upper class blue blood royals of our country little more then peasants to be abused and stepped upon when they get out of line. Keeping us busy with false allegations of one group taking advantage of another or receiving a bigger portion of the pie (aid & benefits at these offices) then the rest. The upper blue bloods prefer to keep us guessing by creating a racial divide among us all so that the real causes of out problems are never addressed properly like their financial rape of this country at the cost of the rest of us Americans.

It is more true today then ever before that there are two separate generational views on racism against other minorities in this country and even the gay community. Many can reflect upon our current young men and women who are more tolerant and have mixed views that are not always shared by some of their parents and the rest of us. Another example is today's military ability to change their views about gays serving in the military, views mainly being supported by the new American youth who serve this nation. You can even walk into any school today and see just how tolerant, acceptant and even ignorant our school children are of many racial or sexual divides currently despite some of their parents attempts to change it. They are not perfect of course, there will always be some level of healthy competition between the children in school and even abusive behaviors but nothing like early in our past American history. It is unfortunately a few of my generation and the older ones that are rehashing old American defective practices that kept this great country to prosper.

So where is America going in this racial war of minorities created and stimulated by the upper class to keep us guessing? Do poor whites really believe that the real enemy or cause of their problems is another group within the American society like immigrants (illegal or not) or are they being mislead to believe it to keep them from seeing the real devil in this problem? How about our great black community, some of them are so convinced that the cause of their problems is due to our latin community who is hogging up the benefits being denied to them or is everyone being denied for the sake of keeping the money in the hands of the most financially fortunate? These are the questions all of us Americans today need to truthfully ask ourselves and find the answers un-biosly and logically without the garbage spewed out. I will quote a statement from our American fabric which states "One nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all", except illegal immigrants, muslims, non-whites, gay and only for the rich of our nation. Maybe we should add that to our American statement and then it could be the perfect United States of Nazism. All you bigots out there who are occupying space in my country, you are welcomed to move to the Antarctic continent where hardly nobody lives and start your own perfect country leaving my America alone.

The growing anti hispanic racism & bigots taking action!

While watching the news podcast I usually see (in particular from MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olberman), I was shocked to see the level of anti-hispanic sentiments from elected republican officials in Texas calling us terrorists unjustly and with desire to take American citizenship from babies. In case some of my readers that ARE bigots and racists do not know (thats an oxymoron), I want to give them a small level of education about the American hispanic community's place in this country I like to call "the best democracy in the world". Hispanics like many other minorities that serve honorably our country in the military today and in the past (sometimes even non-American citizens), loose their lives while serving unlike most bigots that choose to stay home and criticize us including our elected officials. I'm also an American Hispanic and proud of it (always) and will not sit back silently while these idiots have their way in the public forum without fear, it's my duty as a proud American to do so. Not only do we serve our country in the military honorably (both in the past and also presently) but the ratio in which our hispanic population sacrifices our lives serving is much higher then any other minority group to date, yes I said minority because you so called white racists are a minority in my great country the United States of America. It doesn't end there people, hispanic's are also the fastest growing minority today creating maybe fear among the white bigots I reference in this blog with the right to speak and vote. Please do not misunderstand me when I refer to whites, thank goodness the majority of the various minority white community are descent people who don't carry this idiotic stances. If your wondering why I am always referring to whites as minorities, it's true when you break them down to specific European country ties like Polish, the English, German's and Italian's then you can see there is no such thing as a true white majority. If we really breakdown all ethnic races from their origins, then WE ARE ALL MINORITIES. That's just what our great nation is made of (thank God) and it is what makes us unique among other countries. If you take into account the mixing of races, it is virtually impossible to separate us into a unique race unless you know some personal information of the individuals or don't believe in our many years of mix marriages. What may appear to be Irish by name and face, is really half Irish and half hispanic, that is just one example among many if white skin is important to you bigots. In fact the last census acknowledged the fact that white skin or last name doesn't necessarily mean white or even in the black community, names can be deceiving unless you are face to face with the individual(s). We are all equal under the law and we all have rights as US citizens under our constitution (all minorities) but we must be vigilant.

We live today with two generations with different views as to who is REALLY an American. Most of our young adults so far do not hold the racist and bigotry views of our old school parents (gays serving in the military, Muslim's, Hispanics legal or not, etc). It seems that the older people like our republican politicians and the Tea party (a minority and concern but growing) are of the ones that push these racist views that we see in the news but hide it behind other reasons like terrorism, national security and immigration reform. Let us call them out and acknowledge exactly what it is. racism and stop hiding it behind other false titles. I for one will not keep silent in this important topic in either in the polls, in public, my vote or any other forum I can use to draw the light of day to this shameful act and neither should you, if you are a TRUE American like me. A suggestion to the racists and bigots of this great country of mine, Antarctica has no great population of other minorities and I am sure the seals would welcome you if you move their and create your own perfect nation of bigots, or maybe I could be wrong? The moon is too available!
