McCain Promises Hispanics He?ll Revive ?Comprehensive Immigration Reform? M
2008-06-22 19:30:00
-By Warner Todd Huston Last year, the so-called Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (Senate bill 1348) went down to a resounding defeat thanks to the vigilance of talk-radio and the blogs. John McCain was a leading voice in favor of passage in the Senate. Since that defeat, John McCain has claimed that he has “gotten ...
Hispanics jobless rate hit hard with housing bust
2008-05-27 17:00:00
For Hispanics in the US, the housing bust is really hitting hard. They were among the primary beneficiaries of the expansion in recent years. . The housing boom generated millions of new jobs in industries that required physically demanding jobs from factory work to carpeting and upholstery, to landscaping, roofing, janitorial services, and so many more.
More Illegal Immigration Madness
2008-05-19 10:59:00
Updated May 20:First off, let me start out by saying that I am a Leftist. In fact, I am a Communist. However, unlike 99% of Leftists, I actually oppose illegal immigration. Why? Because it is one of the worst things that has ever happened to American workers of all colors.In my town, Madera, California, I figure that 85% of local Hispanics support the illegals that run amok all over here. The reason for that is clear. Hispanics, like every other group except Whites, are allowed to be and even encouraged to be ethnocentric.What's completely insane about is that in their ethnocentrism, Hispanics are really hurting themselves. You never see a Help Wanted sign in this town. Why would you, when the unemployment rate is 11%? Yet I don't know one single illegal alien who is out of work. It seems 100% of them are working.My White friend has roofing skills. He goes down to the local hiring hall and tries to get hired, but he does demand $9/hr. That's $1 over minimum wage. Yet every time, ...
McCain woos some Hispanics, others see baggage
2008-05-18 23:29:00
PHOENIX (Reuters) - Arturo Leyva has voted Democratic in the past, like many U.S. Hispanics. This year, the candidate catching his eye happens to be a Republican: John McCain. "He has a lot to offer Hispanics, and I think I may vote for him," Leyva, 45, said at his cellular phone store in central Phoenix. U.S. Hispanic support for the Republican Party, small but growing steadily over the past decade, has ebbed in the past year, following a bruising battle over illegal immigration. Republican lawmakers last June sank a comprehensive immigration bill -- co-sponsored by McCain -- that would have created a path to citizenship for many of the 12 million mostly Hispanic undocumented immigrants in the United States. However, Hispanic voters may see a sympathetic candidate in the Arizona senator, some analysts say. "Hispanic voters have not yet gelled for any candidate yet. In this election it is up for grabs," said Paul Brace, a political science professor at Rice University. "The in...
Navarrette on illegal immigration: making Hispanics look bad
2008-05-15 19:07:00
What are the qualifications to write for CNN? Ruben Navarrette proves that even the most banal PC drivel can make it onto a major network. His ten points: SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) -- In a recent commentary, I wrote that, as a Mexican-American, the ugliness of the immigration debate offends me -- not as a Mexican, but as an American. The topic: the immigration debate and what she called a wave I of hate sweeping the land -- one that isn't limited to illegal immigrants, but which is now affecting all Hispanics regardless of where they were born, what language they speak or what flag they salute. Hispanics sometimes say this, but when I ask for examples, they more often can't come up with one- it's more like a theoretical oppression like, "Considering the history of the United States, Americans are probably oppressing us somewhere." Let's not lower the bar for problematic "hatred" so much that it includes legitimate policy discussions. The way Murguia sees it, immigrat...

Proving Hard Core Conservatives Wrong on Hispanics
2008-05-09 00:44:00
THE HISPANIC REPUBLICAN VOTERubin Navarrette has a PJ Media piece about the Mexican flag.  There is a double standard.  Anything Mexican is bad – evil, evidently. “…The point is, a lot of Americans look at anyone who waves a Mexican flag as secretly planning to take over the Southwest and hand it to Mexico. But they don’t suggest that anyone waving the Israeli flag - or the Irish flag, or the Italian flag or whatever - has something similar up his sleeve. In those cases, most people are likely to think that the display is harmless and that all ...

McCain reaches out to me- and other Hispanics: gamers next?
2008-05-06 02:43:00
I admit to having been apprehensive, but now that McCain's reached out to me, I can grab hold. I like that he wants to talk to all Americans- however they want to distinguish themselves -unless they're totally repulsive like the KKK or Reverend Wright or William Ayers. La Raza is "The Race," but I don't think they take the implications of their name seriously. Half of them are probably married to non-Hispanics. Anyways, he's checked off blacks, "hillbillies," conservatives, evangelicals, military. I'm not "pro" gay, but he should go there next and talk about his differences with their agenda. He could pick up a more flattering suit while he's at it. Hmmm, after that? How about gamers and role-players? We're pretty ignored (especially by girls). Well, until somebody needs technical support, that is. -Hey guys! How about a quick game while we're waiting for McCain. I wonder what his healing policy is? I paid 50 gold pieces for a simple lay on hands. And, I need relief f...

Question
2008-05-03 12:06:00
How many White Nationalists are not racists, at least against Black people? 5%? 10%? It can't possibly be any more than that.One thing that is weird about WN's is that their real obsession is with Blacks. It's Blacks that they hate more than anything else in the whole country. They don't much care about Hispanics or Muslims all that much.As commenters on Amren say, "Blacks are our enemy." I told this to some smart Blacks and they said, "Oh, we know." They knew it all along.I guess I am some kind of an idiot. I am dubious, to say the least, about the Hispanicization of the US and I hate illegal immigration. I'd prefer not to live around lots of Hispanics. Here in California, we do not have to deal with Blacks all that much. You can always choose not to live around them.As such, Blacks have not done a whole lot to me in my life and they just don't effect me. Hence, arguments about Black evil and perfidy, Black crime and Black crime against Whites just leave me cold. It doesn't...
Trashman Infects 1,500 Women With AIDS?
2008-04-25 11:06:00
This video is currently all the rage over at Youtube and has been written up in the New York Sun as the true story of a young Black man from the ghetto who brags about how he deliberately infected between 1,200 and 1,500 women and girls with AIDS.The story has made it onto Amren, with the usual blathering. One thing that bothered me was repetition of the nonsense that it is easy for a Western man to get HIV from a Western woman via sex. It is not. It is very, very difficult. If you are with her and having regular sex for years, like 4-5 years, you may get it. Maybe. Or you might not. Otherwise, it's pretty much forget it.Almost all men in the West who say they got AIDS from a woman are lying. Most got it from a man, and some got it from shooting dope. There is another type of HIV in Africa and SE Asia that does easy go woman -> man, but for now, it's staying on the other side of the world.Some copies of the video on Youtube have been viewed over 300,000 times at this writing.A qui...

Is the "White" IQ So Superior?
2008-03-30 10:12:00
Updated March 31:I confess that I love to beat up White nationalists, or for that matter ethnic nationalists of any sort (this is why I verbally eviscerate Zionists - they are nothing but the Jewish equivalent of White Nationalists).There is nothing like nationalism, not to mention the super brain-killer of ethnic nationalism, to turn a smart person's brain to useless mush. The problem is that beating up on WN's is cruel. It's like slapping a retarded person and ridiculing them in public. So I feel kind of guilty when I do it.For a look at what a nightmare the White Nationalist movement is, and what a racist horror it represents, check out the sanest, most moderate outlier of the movement, American Renaissance. I hang out there a lot, and post lots of comments, when they do not get deleted, which is 75% of the time.I post mostly on illegal aliens, which is all I care about race-wise, as I am utterly indifferent to the "Black problem", anti-immigration xenophobia, Islamophobia, an...
1 in 4 Hispanics Victims of Housing Discrimination
2008-03-26 13:46:00
1 in 4 Hispanics Is Discriminated for Housing In a study conducted by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the results showed that Hispanics had been targets of unfair practices by housing and mortgage providers when compared to offering those to even less qualified non Hispanic whites. The Housing Discrimination Study 2000 researched discriminatory trends to measure the extent of housing discrimination in the United States against person because of race or color. In addition, the reports shows that Hispanic homebuyers experience difference in treatment with the amount of help agents provide with providing information and obtaining financing. And Hispanic renters face a higher incidence of discrimination than African American renters when seeking housing. This April is the 40Th Anniversary of the Federal Fair Housing Act that addresses the issues of discrimination. The Law says it is illegal to do any of the following based ...
Why Blacks and Hispanics Are Poorer
2008-03-25 16:10:00
Hello All,Todays posting tackles a difficult topic - the role of race in attaining wealth.Race is the classic American problem. In many ways the reality of race differentials in American society illustrate an ongoing discrepancy between our enlightenment ideals and socioeconomic reality. From the civil rights era to current debates surrounding the Obama candidacy and immigration policy, racial differences have demonstrated that they still matter.More importantly, race matters for wealth building. Generally speaking African Americans and Hispanic families have lower overall levels of net-worth. Relatative to other groups, they are less likely to inherit, own homes or stocks. Its an uncomfortable fact, but nonetheless a fact.Why might this be? There are a number of explanations. Among these are discrimination and culture. The discrimination hypothesis argues that people don't like minorities and therefore choose not to employ them or let them into prestigeous univerisities, etc. The ...
Does McCain have a better chance with Hispanics?
2008-03-07 21:14:00
Raul Reyes of USA Today admits that McCain has an opportunity to grab a significant chunk of the Latino vote this year. I agree. In formulating a successful Hispanic strategy, McCain needs to realize that the issue isn't necessarily "the issue." Let's discuss immigration: I don't think the Hispanics able to vote have tons of family in other countries waiting for the "OK" to come over or are harboring their illegal relatives in their garage. Many non-ideological Hispanics just feel uncomfortable with immigration talk that, frankly, sometimes veers close to disparagement of Hispanics in general. I'm not calling people who want to enforce borders "racists" -I know most of it is simple frustration, but such misunderstandings are inevitable. One group comes over, communities change in a way that the native population doesn't like- it's easy to deduce that the change is at least partly due to "who" and not just "why." As mentioned in the article, McCain goes out of his way to make...
Hispanics and/or Latinos break for Hillary
2008-03-05 02:29:00
For Democrats, Latino voters in Texas make up 32 percent of the vote in that state and they were breaking 64 percent for Clinton to 35 percent for Barack Obama. Broken down, Obama captured younger Hispanics by double digits, while older Hispanics preferred Clinton 2 to 1, according to the polling. From here. For reasons why, go here.Powered by b2evolution.

Why won't Hispanics vote for Obama?
2008-02-03 19:59:00
On one of the morning shows, a commentator said that Hillary Clinton pollsters tell her that Hispanics prefer to vote for white candidates than black candidates. Let's look at the facts: In Nevada, Clinton won whites, 52 percent to Obama's 34 percent. Obama won nearly 80% of the black vote. Despite being endorsed by a heavily Latino service union, Clinton received 66% of the Hispanic vote, besting Obama by 38 points (here, here, and here) Therefore: 1. Hispanics prefer white candidates over black ones more than whites prefer whites over blacks. 3. Since Hillary and Obama have similar positions on immigration and, err, everything else, one may conclude that either Hispanics have more sympathy towards white women than black men- 38 points more- or that Hispanics have more antipathy towards blacks than whites- even more than whites have against blacks. Is it fair to conclude that Hispanics are more racist against blacks than whites are against blacks? If you'd have asked me b...
Older generations mourn as young Hispanics turn away from the Catholic Chur

California - Hispanics vs Blacks
2008-01-29 18:09:00
The crosstabs of the California field poll show something fairly obvious: Whites - Clinton 32% Obama 30% Blacks - Obama 58% Clinton 24% Hispanics - Clnton 59% Obama 19% So the key of course is turnout... specifically the turnout of Blacks and Hispanics. The reality is that in the 2004 election Blacks only made up 6% of the voters, while Hispanics made up 21%. That is a 3.5 to 1 advantage. If you use those same sorts of percentages you see why Clinton has a polling lead. Of course this poll suggests a 12% lead for Clinton which seems significantly larger than what the percentages would play out to be. Also you have to take into consideration that nearly 40% of whites, 22% of Hispanics, and abou 18% of blacks have not yet made up their minds. If late breakers follow the recent momentum for Obama.... the California results could be much closer than it looks right now. Also, if Black voters are simply more mobilized that hispanics right now (which at least logically might be the case)...

George Bush - soon to be on the run after bankrupting blacks and hispanics
2008-01-09 20:49:00
Here's George W. Bush, The Worst President Ever, pumping the housing Ponzi Scheme in 2002, launching his Big Con to get the last suckers in (blacks, hispanics and "subprimers") with toxic loans that would end up bankrupting them and taking down the economy:"I've set this goal for the country. We want 5.5 million more homeowners by 2010 -- million more minority homeowners by 2010. Five-and-a-half million families by 2010 will own a home. That is our goal. It is a realistic goal. But it's going to mean we're going to have to work hard to achieve the goal, all of us. And by all of us, I mean not only the federal government, but the private sector, as well.George Bush yesterday, probably understanding now that he fuc*ked up royally:"I like the fundamentals. They look strong but there are new signals that cause concern and one of the signals is the fact the housing market is soft. It's going to take a while to work through the downturn"In the end, in this case I'm not sure if Bus...
Hispanics Protest Over New Indiana Jones Movie

Hispanics Protest Over New Indiana Jones Movie, Indiana Jones And The City Of The Gods: Has George Lucas Finally Gone Too Far?George Lucas has made a career of cashing in on racial stereotypes, from the British gay man C-3PO, to the generic-Asian homosexual boy, Short Round (Temple of Doom), Lucas has run the gambit of racially offensive characters. But Lucas may have gone too far with his latest character in the new Indiana Jones movie. Alfredo Menendez Gonzalez is a hard drinking, 15 hour a day working, tequila loving, daughter raping, wacky and Mexican, that helps Indy and serves as comic relief. Lucas got the idea for the character while he was watching his gardeners on the Lucas ranch. "I saw my gardeners eating apricots from a tree on my land and was very angry. But when I went to confront them they did something, they made me laugh. In their backwards unintelligent way they inspired a new character for the new Indiana Jones film." Said a very subdued Lucas.

Hispanics Can Be Idiot Columnists Also
2007-12-17 22:08:00
You know, I really try not to look for people like Ruben Navarrette, Jr., as well as Kathleen Parker, Jack Kelly, and assorted other right-wing media numbskulls. However, they seem to return to our discourse with the consistency of cockroaches seeking moisture and food scraps through fissures in concrete.And Navarrette really uncorked a lulu in his corporate media column today on CNN (I?ll get to it in a minute).Now I?ll be the last person to defend Bill Shaheen, the (former) New Hampshire campaign co-chair for Hillary Clinton, who had the following to say about Barack Obama (from Navarrette?s column)?In his remarks, Shaheen, a local attorney and Democratic powerbroker, said he was worried that Republicans would have a particularly easy time going after Obama's drug use as a teenager because he has been so open about it. He contrasted this with George W. Bush, who Shaheen said wisely ruled out answering questions about his behavior as a younger man during his presidential run in 19...

The Racial Makeup of Hispanics
2007-12-01 14:03:00
Updated December 2:Let us take a look at a subject that most people seem to know little or nothing about - the genetic makeup of Hispanics in the Americas.You think I am kidding? I now live in a town that is 70% Hispanic.I recently informed some of these Hispanics, ranging from wannabe gangbanger graffiti-tagging teenagers in continuation high school and headed for nowhere, to university grads with their own businesses on the road to Yuppiedom, that Mexicans were a mix between American Indians and Whites, and that they were in fact part White.This was met with incredulity and charges of lying all around, most depressingly on the part of the "university grad".Hence a bit of education seems to be in order.As I noted in my previous foray into this area, there are two opposing poles of idiocy at work here. The first, a group of fools calling themselves Atzlanistas, or radical Chicanos, holds that Chicanos are "80% Amerindian".This is because their idiot ethnic nationalism is predicated ...

Libertarianism Hostile to People of Color
2007-11-04 11:48:00
After you hang around the political world a bit, you get kind of a feel for things. One of the latest fads is something called libertarianism. What it means, more or less, in an economic sense, is that the government will not regulate business in any way, shape or form. This includes any and all rights for workers, consumers, society, health and safety codes, environmental rules, etc.There will be no laws against monopolies, so blatantly unfair cartels will inevitably arise everywhere, illegally thwarting all competition.Workers, consumers and society will be screwed over by these nasty monopolies, the same way the phone (all phone companies, but ATT is by far the worse), cell phone (all are at least utterly unregulated), cable (all are monopolies), oil, computer software (Microsoft) and hardware (Intel) monopolies do now.One of the comforts of modern capitalism is that if a business treats you like crap, you can always easily take your body and money somewhere else. Not so with a ...

B&H Photo In NYC Sued for Discrimination Against Hispanics
2007-10-20 18:19:00
Lynx Garcia passed me this news feature and I had to blog about it. This is something interesting right out of NYC and related to E.G Radio as well. Just over a couple of days ago the store B&H Photo in NYC which sells audio, and video equipment - settled a lawsuit for over $4.3 Million Dollars for allegedly underpaying its Hispanic Employees vs. their non Hispanic Employees who are predominately Jewish. As part of the lawsuit, B&H agreed to equalize the wages of its Hispanic employees to those of non-Hispanics, and to distribute $4.3 million (?3.04 million) to individuals who were paid less, not promoted, or denied benefits because they are Hispanic.Some would think that it is hard to believe such injustice still exists in America. Especially in NYC where the population is incredibly diverse. Simply put - you would have a hard time being a racist in NYC. It is a melting pot of ethnicities and backgrounds. On another note you would assume that with agencies like the E.E.O an...
Prison is Good for Black Men
2007-10-04 12:34:00
Oh, I know, I know, I know, you're all mad about the headline. But don't away, not yet anyway.Do allow me to explain.Prison is not a great place. It's not even a good place. It's not even a fair or ok place. I've been in jail for six hours in my life, and my wimpy middle-class White-boy self is still traumatized. At least the memories kept me on the right side of the law. I do not ever want to go back there, not even for a minute. If only arrest had this effect on everyone...But Blacks, I think especially Black men (I don't think there are a lot of Black females in prison) seem to handle it ok. Don't ask me how they do it. Maybe you learn some real life surival skills growing up in the hood.Black men in prison have a much lower death rate than those living outside. Inside, it is 206 per 100,000/yr and outside, it is 484/100,000/yr., a 57% drop.This is a fact. A fact that won't go away. That stares us in the face and demands to be recognized, parsed, anything but ignored.This...

Found on Moonbattery, amazing! Apparently crude racial remarks can still be okay, even after Imus.
