Is racism alive in America? I'd like to think that is not, But the more I look at the news The more I see it is alive and well. If people Are upset about Obama and they're upset about Hispanics . And nobody talks about the fact that Bush is the one that put us in all of this mess.

yes it is. Only problem, is it is from all sides to all sides. Not just from one or ther other, racism to universal.

See that's one of the problems. Where I respect your thought about bush and Obama. I wasn't talking about race. I was just pointing out that when bush took office after Clinton. There was a surplus , I was just pointing out the fact that the way people are doging Obama. The country is acting like he's the one that got us into this budget mess he inherited the problems from bush. That's all I ment by that statement.

it sure is,,,just be white and try to walk through east okla city/west memphis/south atlanta/south chicago/anywhere outside the tourist areas in washington d.c./compton/the bronx/east dallas,,,,yes sir,racism is alive and well

only dont talk about that part or you will be called a racist

Racism and discrimination are different but they go hand in hand. "Mexican" is not a race, but it is considered by some to be the source of an unwelcome and illegal invasion. That breeds discrimination rather than racism. In that context introducing racism into it is merely an argument of last resort for avocates of open borders.

There is nothing wrong with discrimination. It is widely used legally and effectively by government and private organizations alike (boy scouts, girl scouts, churches,fraternal organizations, advocay groups, etc.). However, "racism" is certainly immoral. By tying it to illegal immigration progressives attempt to legitimize their arguments even though no there is no definitive or valid connection to be made.

I find it interesting that liberals view American wars overseas as invasions but don't see illegal immigration as the same thing. It is curious because to qualify as an "invasion" the invader must have the intent to permanent occupy the conquored land. The US always leaves after an overseas military operation and returns sovernity to whoever was there. In the case of illegal immigration illegals actually occupy and establish their own permanent geographical and cultural communities here with no intention of leaving and every intention of changing things. By definition illegal immigration and "amnesty" programs technically qualify as supporting an invasion.

The progressive liberal mind is an interesting contradiction in logic and perception of reality. That's why their utopian ideas never work in real life.

Boy you are long winded!
