You are too white to be American! Says Latino KKK

[웃 910]

Militant Latino protester tells whites to "Go back to Europe"

Outside an Anaheim Angels game, a member of the Brown Berets -- a militant Latino group -- screamed at white people to leave America and go back to Europe.

He should go back to Spain.

If whites can scream browns to go back to Mexico or India, then browns can scream the same thing. The thing to realise here is that we all immigrants to America. White or brown. Only the natives Americans are natives here. Even them too came from Africa many, many thousands of years ago. So this argument of going back to where ever one came from originally doesn't hold water. Everyone was an illegal to America once.

This just reminds me of something that Paul Rodriguez said years ago - if you tell a Mexican to go back to where he came from, he can probably just walk there - a white person would need the Titanic. Just sayin'.

I'll agree with the rest, but this part's not true. People weren't illegal until there were laws saying they couldn't just walk in...

An inconvenient truth that so many seem to forget. By the logic of returning to were our roots of hundreds & thousands of years ago are that would make Africa a very crowded continent indeed as we all have our true roots there.

We have evolved and developed into a structured society based in laws. Justifying illegal immigration with arguments like that make as much sense as trying to argue a speeding ticket because 400 years ago our ancestors didn't have speed limits to obey.

The funny thing is I bet a lot of white people have native blood. I'm as white as a ghost and have native blood.

Are we supposed to decry the words and actions of the Brown Berets without commenting on the nutters on the other side giving as good as they get?

What is the point in trying to pick which extremist group deserves condemnation? Surely, they all do.

Agreed. I'm considered white as well but have a whole slew of Native American ancestors on both sides. The irony is the further you look back in my tree to the source the darker our skin gets. My Mom and her sisters are darker than their kids and their parents (Grandma and Grandpa to me) are darker than their kids (my Mom and her siblings). A lot of people can tell my Mom is part Native American and my Grandma and Grandpa too from pictures. At the family reunion in June extended family pulled out hundred year old photos and pointed to ancestors and said that's your great great great..... and she's a squaw, and over here she's a squaw, and she's a squaw too, ect....but back then it was shameful to be called a squaw or talk about it, yada yada yada....

What's the saying? If you want to kill extremists, kill yourself first? I don't know something like that.

I'm something like 1/32 Native American (that we know of for sure, who knows there may be more from the families of my female ancestors that we don't know about)

At least the "other nutters" are standing up for current laws to be enforced, just as extreme as the Brown Berets but not as nutty.

The Brown Berets are saying that I am an illegal immigrant. This is crazy because:

1) I was born within the borders of the US to parents who were also born within the borders of the US (repeat this all the back to the 1600s).

2) When my ancestors landed here there was no government laying claim to the land. Even the indigenous population didn't lay claim to the land so no laws were broken.

BTW, number 1 does not equate me to all of the "Anchor Babies" because their parents did break the law to come here.

You know that there are all kinds of fringe nutters out there on this issue. White people telling brown people to "go home", brown people telling white people "go home". What is the point in getting in the middle of that - none of those people help the underlying debate.

Freaking locos just like there are lots of rarísimos crazies on the other side.

I don't see how I'm getting in the middle of the nutters... I can make a comment about how ridiculous one group of nutters position is without taking up the cause of another group of nutters.

I will say that when someone wants to present an argument in support of amnesty or against enforcing the current immigration laws at any level and they are simply parroting the "nutters' chorus" it's a good indication that they aren't worth my time to listen or respond to.

For anyone who says the current laws are unenforceable I say "Try it and show me how unenforceable they are".

For anyone who says the current laws won't fix the problem I say "Try it and show me how it made the problem worse".

For anyone who says the current laws are wrong I say "Show me how you would suggest fixing them".
