Now the NAACP is joining the pack of African Americans leading a charge against a white person. This time for saying Monkey.

Black people in America are segregated because they want to be. They have their own Colleges, magazines, tv station, and other things with the title of Black before them. Yet, they still call white Americans racist.

If a white person was to start a white magazine, school, or tv station these would be protested vehamently and the creators would be labeled as racist by black leaders.

If black Americans really want to be treated equally, then they need to stop segregating themselves, and join in with the rest of the country. If black Americans don't want to be called names, then they need to stop using words like Cracker and other slurs against white people.

You can't protest what you do. If you have a Black Magazine, you can't protest a white magazine etc.

How can you include lyrics in your songs that if a white person sings you will be offended?

Enough is enough. Either quit your segregation and name calling against white people, or accept it when another race does it to you.

Bill Maher said on his after hrs internet show that illegals do the jobs Americans won't do, and that we should thank them. Well Mr. Maher, I have been a janitor, a farm worker, a construction laborer amoung a few other jobs that these illegals are now working at. I lost my farm job because they kept bringing in more and more illegals and I was phased out because I wouldn't take a $2 an hr pay cut and give up my medical.
I personally, amoung others that I have worked with will do any job needed, even stable boy - to feed my family. I am not a very educated person, only having a GED which severely limits my career choices. I just want a fair wage for the job. Is asking for $6 or $7 an hour with some sort of medical to much in our country?
Apparently it is, and people Like you Bill actually support that. Sad but true

Most Christians I talk to feel that everyone who doesn't believe like they do are going to hell. When I try to explain to them how arrogant that statement is, and how self righteous it makes them sound, they shrug - as if to say to me "Your going to hell"
More wars have been fought over religious beliefs then any other reason know to "civilized" people.
Our founding fathers called for a seperation of church and state for a reason. Do we really want a person elected solely because of their religious belief? Do we vote for someone because of their religious beliefs? If we have someone elected for this reason, or vote because of this reason, how does this seperate us from countries like Iran who are run by religion?
I am not against believing in something. I am not against prayer. Prayer is hope. Religion is another way of keeping checks and balances on the population. Commandments, laws and rules of the religion are usually to help keep a population in line and prevent anarchy and hurtful acts.
Ask yourself this, how many times have you been screwed over by a good church going person? It's ok for them because they will be forgiven, or at least they believe so. That's why Bush can do anything he wants now!! As a religious person, he feels no matter what he does, he will be forgiven as long as he prays....or even worse - thinks God is guiding him to make his choices through his prayer!!! Now that is fanatically scary. I was a die hard Republican until this administration. To much God, not enough common sense. I served in the military under Ronald Reagan, and I still feel he was the best president in my lifetime!! Even though he talked prayer on occasion, he didn't make it his legacy. Bush is making religion his legacy, and that's not what we are here for!!
When it comes time to vote, religious fanatics will vote for the religious candidate, and we will have more wars - with countries without the president's faith, and people who vote for the good of the country will get away from the religious vote, where we will have the opportunity to deal with issues effecting our country now. How will you vote?

Every interview or opinions I hear on this issue doesn't make the distinction between legal immigrants and illegal immigrants.
I have no problem with legal immigrants. Whether it's a work visa, for school, or citizenship it doesn't matter to me. This is an acceptable form of immigration.
My problem is with the Illegal Immigrants and here is why. I make between 30K and 40K per year. I am single, don't claim my child because I don't have custody - even though I must pay child support - claim 1 dependent, and at the end of the year I owe tax money between $500 and $1000 depending on how much overtime I was able to get that particular year. I just finished paying back taxes from the year 2000 because I didn't claim $3500 in income I had received at that time. My fine with interest and penalties was $786.
Illegal immigrants don't pay taxes!!!!!!! I watch my illegal immigrant neighbors working the same job I have, using a false SS#, getting paid the same thing I do, and never ever pay a dime in taxes.
I think that if any illegal immigrant gets found working on a job, then that employer should be responsible for every dime this person should have paid in tax, along with the expense it costs to hold them, bring them to court, and deport them. This will cut down on illegal immigrants getting jobs and being able to live here. Let them pay taxes like Americans have to!!
My opinion
Thanks
