Pure racism. I've asked this question before, like last week. And I got mostly hate from everyone accept two or three people out of 30 responses. People said there were no similarities in the discriminative way blacks of before were treated versus hispanics of today, and called me foolish for thinking so.
It was as if there were 2 squares, one is big and red, the other is small and blue. I ask, do you see the similarities. They say, "Hell no idiot, ones a big red shape, and one is a small blue shape, whats so hard to understand stupid?" The similarity is, they are both squares. It's the same with how illegals are treated now versus the blacks before, but most don't see any similarities in the discrimination.
Racism blinds people completely. It's blinds people so much, they don't even know they are being racist.

I believe you're off the track with this one. You're probably throwing all Mexicans, and those who sneak into the country illegally into the same pot. They're not the same. Law breakers of all kinds, in all countries, should be put in jail.
How could any sensible person believe that it's okay to break the laws of a neighboring country, then expect to be treated like a long lost friend ?
Of course, whites came from Europe. Isn't Spain part of Europe ? Italians are white, I don't see much difference between them and Spanards. How can there be two groups of people who look exactly alike, but one group is white while the other is something else. If not white, what are Mexicans ? What color would you say Pres. Fox is ?

I don't fear Mexicans,nor do I hate them. .It doesn't matter how any one got here ,it depends on what they did once they arrived..It seems to me you are mixing several things here together in order to say what you said.Blacks did not come here as illegal immigrants,they were brought here as slaves from Africa. A sad but true part of our country's history.They have fought racism and hate all their life ,much more than the Mexicans have had to endure,so you really cant compare a people who fought against slavery to become a central partner in the USA.They learned to speak the country's language assimilated into the American life.After a long hard fought battle they were free,then they had to fight Jim Crow and again they persevered and gained civil rights.Today a black person can achieve almost anything they desire and work hard for.. I see Mexicans everyday talk bad and racist against blacks so your respect is not all that comes from Mexicans towards blacks.
I don't care if you like me as a white person ,but I would like to be liked as a person .I don't lump everyone together as ALL Mexicans are illegal ,I know better,I live in AZ I experience the racism everyday ,I see it directed at every one not just Black or Mexican or White.I see it for age or beauty or money.People have lost something very precious,their common decency towards there fellow man..Where I live in Scottsdale if you don't look like you belong there the police will stop you and color isn't the factor,its money.The car may look too old or the people don't look right,Its not at our request its just the police.
I cant change people ,I can only be me ,only responsible for my actions,talk to my employees,my neighbors.Don't judge all people.Are you really open for someone to be nice to or are you a smart azz that acts angry all the time and makes remarks in Spanish because you think we don't understand? I speak Spanish as well as 2 other languages but I speak English in my business.I have no fear my friend.Do you ?

well, they think they have an excuse, the whole "illegal" thing.
but it's not like people who hated blacks didn't think they had excuses as well (and by the way they're still lurking around)... before it was that they're at least half monkeys, but that one went away because they don't want to admit that evolution happened. then it was that they are stupid and commit all the crimes... but you see what bad education and poverty can do, especially after so many years of slavery and discrimination... I mean, why would they want to be part of the system or respect our laws, after one of them went to the supreme court and was considered property, if they did that to me it would be open war.
people will lose the illegal immigration excuse when society figures out that people have the right to flee from poverty and have the right to a legal status. I mean, people who want to change the rules so that people who are born here aren't necessarily citizens... these days everybody needs to be the citizen of some country, you have the right to a legal status in the world.

MLK, fought for equal rights, now he is looked upon as a hero, be people of all colors. He never spoke out aginst white people, such as the hate groups known as La Raza or MEChA does. MLK never said , " We need to kill, the white man." Read the post at the bottom, that was made be a leader of LaRaza.
It is also not becuase they are Hispanic, but because they are illegal Mexicans, that are coming here and destroying the country.
If you want to come and live in America, that is fine, just do it as a American, it just takes time to do the right thing.

if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him."

I don't think blacks should be picked on! I don't think whites should be picked on or Mexicans or Asians or anyone!!
I don't think that people hate Mexicans directly they hate the fact that a lot of them are coming here illegally they get our welfare, they can commit crimes and not be deported and so on and so forth and they are the first to squeal prejudice when they do not get their way. Granted it is not all of them, but it is a good majority and you know what, I feel that they majority of them do not like other races so there you go.

If there is hatred towards Mexicans, it has been brought on by racial Mexicans demanding what they don't deserve. I never had a racial feeling towards anyone in my entire life until they started with their reconquista attitude. The blacks still don't have the respect they deserve. And they certainly have earned it. Illegal aliens should get nothing. Mexicans have not been in this part of the world forever. Get over it. You need to earn the respect you want. Stop trying to take it. And quit whinning.

People are just so ignorant. They speak before they have learned. If they educated themselves as to why the mexicans are coming here maybe they'd learn something.
