Illegals highjacking Black causes

I have posted here at Right Truth several times on black Americans being upset with illegal aliens (criminal invaders) highjacking their causes. Let me say here that I do not like the term ‘black Americans, or Mexican Americans, or Muslim

A bitter pill to swallow

Lashawn Barber highlights the irony that affirmative action supporters are now going to have to deal with other minorities whining for race or ethnicity-based entitlements. The past injustices argument, once a noble proposition, has become a laug…

I am a true believer they are entitled to a bus ride south of at least 100 miles

Finally, an entitlement program I can support! But wouldn’t it have to be more than 100 miles?

For most federal jobs, I would at least hope one of the requisites would be US citizenship. If so, perhaps the reason for the “under-representation” of hispanics is for one of two reasons:

1. Many are just legal residents and not US citizens.

2. More of the hispanic population is illegal than we assume.

Just a hunch, but don’t blacks born in the USA, know better English – at least those not suckered into Ebonics – than many Hispanic immigrants – and being able to communicate in English being a requirement for most government jobs?

I have always thought that Lincoln’s statement in the Gettysburg address where it said, “all men are created equal,” should have been adhered to long, long ago… Now look at the mess we’re in.

Phoenix brought up a very interesting point about Hispanics being historically white.

I think the difference between the U.S. and South America is blancamiento (whitening). In the U.S. nothing whitens you. Not money, not social status and in the past, not even if you looked white. Think about the one drop rule where people who physically looked white were labeled black simply because they could trace their lineage to one African ancestor. White in the U.S. seems to strictly apply only to those of European descent (with no mixed blood) but for some reason not Spaniards. Could it be because of the Moores?

Then you have South America where money or lineage whitens you. It doesn’t matter if you’re as dark as the night sky if you’ve go money, you’re considered white. I can’t think of his name, but there’s a soccer player from Brazil that fits this category. He’s physically black, but because he has money, he’s considered white. Not like the U.S. where someone like Bill Cosby is considered a black man with money rather than white.

I am an unreconstructed idiot when it comes to what makes someone a black or a white, so there is clearly no hope for me when it comes to Hispanic.

I notice that the Hezb’Allah are paying displaced Lebanese in the South with a wad of $12,000 in US currency! US currency! If I fly in and say that I am an Hispanic, black, Native American, Irish- Catholic white/black mix, what will they pay me? Will vegan pagan fire-walker up the ante? Should I mention that my children are orphans and that I was a personal friend of the widow of the unknown soldier? What if I tell them I don’t have a satellite dish?

Complaints filed with the EEOC, for years, have primarily been age related complaints followed by sexual discrimination complaints.

Reagan defunded the EEOC-like function in the Agriculture Department, the result being discrimination against Black farmers by the Ag Dept.

When you think about this, preferential treatment for Hispanics is ridiculous. Hispanics are, historically, white. Most of the people streaming across the border are actually Amerindian. Spaniards are white. They were also imperialist conquistadors, and their Latin American descendants are benefiting from their conquest of the New World, as are those of us in North America. Black Africans did not come here voluntarily – they were chattel.

I am Hispanic/Latina on my dad’s side. What amazes me is that growing up in the 60s and 70s, we were “white.” Now, the race baiters and victimology advocates are trying to create a new “race.” Ricky Ricardo? White. Rita Hayworth? White. Cameron Diaz? White. Christina Aguilera? White. I can tell you for a fact that if you said that most of the Hispanic “advocates” that LaShawn mentions were anything but white in the country they or their ancestors came from, they would spit in your eye.

Racial preferences and grouping people for the purposes of establishing quotas and so on is why so many on the left are supportive of large scale, out of control immigration. Hispanics (along with Blacks) are much more likely to have ethnocentic tendencies. People who think of themselves as members of a group first, and an aggrieved group at that, are much easier to manipulate and more likely to vote as a bloc. Ergo the desire on the left to dilute the influence of white voters through the importation of new, more malleable future voters.

Now, can someone explain to me why George Bush and Republican leadership are so enthusiastic to bring on their own dispossession?
