Racist or Misunderstood? Posted on 11-02-2005
CPL Thunderstruck

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said a couple of weeks ago “How do I make sure that New Orleans is not overrun by Mexican workers?”. Opinions?

Ethnicist. The PC way to do this is to say, "How do I make sure that New Orleans isn't overrun with cheap laborers, who will take jobs away from our citizens?" Even that doesn't sound quite right.

How about we call it like it is. Now if that was a white man saying that about a black man, the NAACP would call for him to apologize and retract his statements. We as black people can not hold such double standards, that comment is racist and he needs to apologize to the Hispanic population in America.

Why don't you break down racism for us? Because according to the dictionary, anyone can be racist. Denoting someone for their race. That's not hard to do.

Racism isn't just the belief in superiority, but the power to use that belief to ones advantage. -tafui
