No Service to Illegal Aliens

The whole point was Bugs friend was not just talking about illegalls, methinks it is you with the reading comprehension problem. You actually defended him saying it in the post, their is no misunderstanding about what he said and yet you were defending it because some people come here illegally. It's not hard for honest, clear thinking individuals to figure out that was a racist comment. Then you try to defend it and yourself with the old standby that racist have used for years, "I have a (black, hispanic, Jewish, homosexual) friend."

As for my neighbor, he probably has better things to do with his time than mess with an old bitter individual like you. Get your back healed up, get in shape and try a rematch with your neighbor who kicked your azz!

Sounds to me like you need a drink.

I have no problem with legal immigration from any nationality,but all our Latino neighbors to the south pouring across the sanctity of our border illegally,taxing our public services,jails,schools,Hospitals,and welfare systems needs to be stopped.Unemployment figures do not show those that have run out of benefits or have given up on finding a job,meanwhile these illegals keep taking jobs and our tax dollars away from legal American Citizens.
How fast do you think Obama's Trillion Dollar spending would get paid off with all that extra cash?
In that aspect I have Nary a problem with Alabama or George Wallace.
All this politically correct sensitivity BS has ruined this country.Man Up,be Law Abiding,or get out.[/QUOTE

His comment had nothing to do with illegals, it had to do with Mexicans in general. If you are okay with that, then I have a suggestion. I will give you directions to where I live. I have a next door neighbor who's parents came her LEGALLY from Mexico and he was born here. Why don't you come over and make some of those witty comments to him? Make sure I am home because I want to watch the azz whippin he gives you when you say it!

This is not about pollitical correctness, it is about treating another human being with the respect you would expect to be treated with.

Someone is wrong about my friend's comment. My thread was about illegal aliens and my friend's comment was completely about illegal Mexicans. Someone has turned it into Mexicans in general. My friend was talking about ILLEGALS. He never referred to the KKK or "George Wallace's Alabama"....WHATEVER THE HECK WAS MEANT BY THAT. George Wallace was simply governor of Alabama, first elected in 1962 and his last term ended in 1987. He has been dead since September 19, 1998, eleven years after he served as governor. How can it be his state when it never was? Alabama was never his state, it belonged to all of us. George Wallace renounced segregation before he died. Alabama is always singled out as being a KKK controlled racist state but almost every state in the USA has had or now has racial problems.

A new hospital is being built here and will open in February 2012. The local people both blacks and whites weren't hired because the contractor, from Louisiana, was hauling illegal Mexicans in and they got all the jobs. Very few locals were able to find work. Now I hope it's easier to understand why the Chief Detective whispered that comment to me. The contractor had to take his illegals and haul @ss back to where they came from when the law was passed. It went into effect immediately.

Racism is alive and well in Alabama and Mississippi and it's not the whites who are the problem. If you walk into a grocery store in this town and your cashier is black, you can expect to bag your own groceries, and load them into the shopping cart. When you walk up to the counter in either Church's Chicken or McDonald's, the black cashiers make the whites wait until they have served all the blacks that are in line.

I had two incidents of racism from blacks when I tried to pay my property taxes. One black told me she wouldn't change the address on my account unless I produced the deed to my property, plus my husband's driver license. I inherited both of those estates and the deeds are in my name only. I asked her how she thought I could do that when he was in another state and always carried his license with him. She told me to step aside and let her serve the other 4 (blacks) in line behind me. She was holding in her hand the bill she sent to me with the correct address on it but was trying to use my old address. She said there was no use in me going to the Assessors office because they were behind a year on their recordings. I then went to the court records dept. to get a copy of my deed and had to deal with another black. She said she wouldn't give it to me unless I gave her the book and page number. All the records are in alphabetical order in books and all she had to do was look up my name. She looked up a record for a black man in line behind me. I got fed up and went to the Assessor's office and told them the black woman in the Tax Collectors office said they were behind a year on their recordings and I couldn't get my address changed for at least another year. That time I was talking to a white woman; she went ballistics. She typed my name into the computer and all my records were in order and had been recorded since I first carried my deeds in 3 years ago. Then she called the first black person where I tried to pay my taxes and told her their records were in order and to issue me a refund, that she had overcharged me by $53 for last year's taxes. I'm sorry this post is so long but felt that I needed to better explain a few things.

I know AL and MS quite well, and it is BOTH blacks and whites that are the problem. To say it's just blacks is incredibly narrow sighted.

To "know" AL and MS 'quite well,' is rather interesting, to say the least, since you don't live here. How well do you REALLY know the people in these states? If you drive a truck across the state, come to visit your in-laws once a year, or come on vacation, or get your info from newspapers, you don't know half the story.

I don't know if you are black or white, if you are married to a black or white, and I don't give a happy rotten rat's butt if you have a house full of kids that are mullatto. I'm not narrow sighted, I SEE what is happening in my town and THAT IS THE PEOPLE I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

I know the folks in those two states "quite well", is the best way I can put it. One in AL, a banker, who told me about talking with a county official once who was asked why there were fewer black folks in his county than surrounding counties. His answer: "cause we don't want 'em here". The other, a family member in MS who bragged to me once that he charged black folks up to twice what he charged white folks for the same work, and then went on about how stupid they were not to figure it out.

Bug, I don't know you or the people around you. I do know that your statement "racism is alive and well in AL and whites are not the problem" is, on its face, ridiculous. As I said, there is racism on both sides.

I will say, though, that if you're a white victim of racism in AL or MS you might have to bag your own groceries or wait a little longer to get your 3-piece chicken snack with red beans and rice, as you said. If you're a black victim of racism, you might spend a few years longer in jail, lose a couple thousand bucks to a repairman, or get a cross burned in your front yard.

[jcb]

I will also say, there's no reason to single out AL and MS on this topic. I've met some of the sweetest people I know down there. There's plenty of good old down home racism alive and well here in KY.

You know TWO people, one in AL and one in MS but their comments don't do much but tell a few lies or show what a lowlife they are for being dishonest. You need to stop watching old movies from the 1960s about southern racism and Martin Luther King. Racism occurred in other states outside the south during the same time frame. We don't live in those days, they are finished and behind us. If you knew anything about our laws, you would know the penalty for cross burning isn't a mere slap on the hand; it's almost as bad as a homicide. There are also laws against price gouging and all the victim has to do is report it. The first thing is to KNOW in advance what a repair job will cost him and if he doesn't like the price, just say "no" and walk away. Don't let the repairman gouge him and then piss and moan about it. Frankly, your comment about cross burning is a lot of BS. You need to pull your head out of your butt and enlighten yourself.

[jcb]

Dishonest? Lies? No, racism.

Bug, if you really believe what you're typing, that the only racism now in AL is racism committed by black folks, and that for white people, racism is "behind us", you are living in a fantasy world.

Progress has been made, but racism is going to be with us for a long, long time. No matter what state we're talking about.

[bassin_bug]

Just so you can get your facts straight, cross burning is considered a hate crime and some have been federally prosecuted. Read about all these cases and see how many you find that were committed around the United States rather than in Alabama. Cross burning didn't just start with the KKK, it was in existence long before that, I think in the late 1800s to early 1900s, and in other countries around the world as well.

http://articles.latimes.com/keyword/cross-burning There are at least 5 pages of this information. See how many times Alabama is mentioned.

This is my last comment on this subject. We have lost the thread which was originally intended to tell about my county refusing service to illegal aliens.

[jcb]

There's no errant fact to "get straight". I said if you were a black victim of racism you might get a cross burned in your yard. It's happened many, many times.

[kyfanatic]

Another fact for all these self proclaimed civil rights affirmists,The National Headquarters of the KKK has more recently been located in Louisville,Ky and in Indiana than in Alabama or Mississippi.
If you think there isn't a higher percentage of Black Racism toward Whites then you better check crime figures,there is a way higher percentage of Black on White crime than in reverse.With a much higher population of White people I find that just a little unsettling.
If that doesn't convince you answer this question: Who would be safer,a Black man walking through Alabama at Night or a White man walking through a housing project on the west side of Louisville?

The same people on this thread crying about racism and bigotry have and can be quoted making Bigoted remarks about HillBilly's and rural people in their very own state.
