    I was wondering when Bob was going to make a video on this. :)


    Even the far left leaning YoungTurks on YouTube (whom I almost always disagree with, but still watch from time to time just to hear their opinion) made a video about this incident that was actually pretty spot on.

    Apparently Youtube knows exactly what I'm going to say, because they're keeping me from posting any comments even relating to this incident (the original, the guy on speed, YoungTurks).

    So they allow all the anti-Mexican "GOD BLESS WHITE AMURICA" bullshit but don't submit my comments through. :roll:

    You seem to miss everyone's point entirely. The intentions of the kids that wore the flag doesn't matter one bit. The point is they had every right to wear it. Some kids got offended at such a display? Oh, boo hoo. Fuck them. As long as they aren't breaking any of the main school rules or something, what they wear shouldn't be any of their goddamn business. If the Mexican kids or whoever got offended wanted to respond by wearing the Mexican flag all over themselves, they can go right on ahead. Why should anyone care? It's not their business either.

    I can tell these kids wanted to hit this guy, but held back because he was in a wheelchair. This happened near city hall. On Friday the Latino students did a walkout because they feel they are being mistreated. We all know the principal isn't doing to suspend them over this. Also the American flag students stayed home after receiving threats on Thursday. If these were White kids threatening Hispanic kids for wearing Mexican flags on an American Holiday the media would be all over it. However Fox News and the local stations are the only ones reporting it.

    Since when did America become Mexico anyway? If my kid got sent home from school for wearing an American flag, I'd be pissed. IT'S AMERICA, NOT MEXICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And once again you show it's ok for one group to get away with bigotry and hate because they've been the so-called "victim" as of late. Even more pathetically you hide behind the 1st amendment to do it. (While bassman21 just wrote off the page I posted like it was nothing when it was the SAME FUCKING THING AS THIS FUCKING STORY). You know good and damn well if you switch the races, we'd NEVER hear the end of how wrong the Mexicans were to "disrespect America" or some other Sarah Palin bleeding heart bullshit.

    I would like to give a genuine Fuck You to a few certain members here. So you can't say nigger anymore. So you don't have your own special-made TV Show/magazine. So immigrants are taking jobs that you wouldn't even want in the first fucking place.

    Boo.
    Fucking.
    Hoo.

    Just because you read about it in your little textbooks doesn't mean you know SHIT about what racism is. You wouldn't have the slightest inkling to know that there are people out there that want DEAD solely based on what you look like. The pressure to be perfect for non-white people is SO fucking enormous. Everything we do, whether its the Average Joes or the big time celebrities, we have our whole race on our back and if we screw up, it affects EVERYONE.
    One perfect example: John F. Kennedy goes around bangin Marylin Monroe and all the other broads he wants, yet everyone views his affair as "a forbidden romance."T iger Woods does the same thing,. not only does the whole world dump on Tiger, but the whole "Interracial Dating - Cause for Concern?" debate gets reingited. So not ONLY does a double standard come about from two motherfuckers doing the same thing, but now it puts a burden on every other black man out there. Hell I can't even joke about my jokey little celebrity crush with Hayden Panettiere without fucking luikangx posting of picture of that book "Why Black Men Love White Women" bullshit. So pretty much based on my race, it's that much harder for me to date whoever the fuck I wanna date because of that stigma, the already gigantic stigma of BET, society in general stigmas of what makes the "perfect partner"...

    .....I'm starting to ramble and rant, but that's only one example out of PLENTY of the bullshit we have to go through every day in this country that wants to pretend that they're the pinnacle of perfection. A country of hypocrites that loves to ignore problems by creating these bullshit double standards and bitching about it when we call you on it. Most of you have proven time and time again right here on RJ that when a non-white group of people (you THINK are out to) threaten your way of life, threaten you ideals, threaten your comfort level, threaten your perfect no serious-long-term-entire-generational-consequences lives, you're against it. All this bleeding red, white, and blue "USA! USA!" bullshit you're spewing over you crying for these bigoted creeps getting just a small taste of what they deserve tells me everything I need to know about how you feel about me, the Mexican kids, and all non-whites in general. And that is you see us as second-class. Why else would, again, history books go out of their way to make such a huge distinction and gaping hole between blacks and whites? You see us being here as a favor you're granting us. You're saying we can't have our own special celebrations and channels and books about our culture because you feel we're being "unfair" or "ungrateful" because we don't allow you to be intrusive in our unique way of life AGAIN just because you feel left out.

    If you support these kids, for whatever cowardly reason, you support their "Pro-White/We're Still Your Superiors" agenda. And to back them up by using the 1st Amendment is just beyond low. You probably don't care, but the respect I had for some of you guys, even if we did disagree on alot of things, is gone now.

    blah blah blah blah blah White mother fuckers blah blah blah blah blah blah


    Go ahead Dmoney let it all out!

    I experienced racism every day in high school by Blacks and Hispanics. In my high school I was the minority and several White kids I went to school with dropped out because they were being bullied so badly. I went to predominately White schools before high school and the colored kids were not mistreated. If any were bullied it had little to nothing to do with their race. In general the White kids sort of looked up to them more.

    I also had a Black teacher is 3rd grade that verbally and emotionally abused me. It got so bad I would go to the restroom and cry every morning before class and to where I started having stomach problems. Again it was way worse than anything White teachers did to Black or Hispanic kids during my time in school.

    So do I hate Black people? No because I have known many good black people too. There are racist people in all races and you can't hate a race of people because of a few bad apples. Most of the time race isn't even a factor in an individual's actions. However with you it is all about race. If a White guy is rude to you it is because you are Black. Like I said before that attitude will get you know where in life.

    You think these kids wore these clothes because they hate Mexicans right? Did you ever stop to think that they may have gotten tired of their Latino principal and peers being so pro Mexico, but not showing the same respect towards the USA? How about the threats they keep getting from the Latino students since? Where is your outrage about that? And why in the fuck should American kids have to partake in a Mexican holiday? Most schools will not allow students to celebrate Halloween now of days because it "interferes with leaning", but Cinco de Mayo is Ok? What about holidays for the rest of the world? Oh but since 40% of the students are Latino so it is OK right? Bull shit! It is OK to reconize the day and maybe have a little activaty, but the school with a Mexican pricipal got carried away with it.

    Quite the tangent you went off on. I don't know where you get this America = White bullshit. Doesn't even make any sense, really. I'm not going to bother to respond to most of that other stuff, considering it's plainly racist paranoia if you ask me.

    I agree with Dmoney that it wasn't a coincidence. It might have been rude to do that in spite but they do have the right to wear anything they want. Just like the hispanics or other races do. What sickens me is how people get so offended by everything these days. Everywhere you go people are always whining about something whether it be about race or religion or this political correctness. People need to learn to get the fuck over things.


    Post of the thread. I don't think people get any more offended by things now than they did back in the day. I think now that people respond to it more rather than telling theses guys to relax and chill out. It's like a job I worked at that had a policy saying all complaints are valid not matter how stupid they were.

    Dmoney's point - if you are proud to be an American, you are a white racist supremacist...and the American flag is equal to the Nazi swastika.

    Just saw a video of the incident. Got to say it did look like the students with the American flag did go their looking to stir up some shit. Also the students celebrating the Mexican holiday over reacted to it big time. Some shit that blown way out of proportion to be honest. Lots of people over reacting.

    No, that wasn't his point at all. I'm not even gonna go there, because many people will not even bother understanding.

    -________________________________-

    Yes, they were "proud" to be American. The old America where they didn't have all these "ethnic groups" getting in the way of their very Nazi-ish vision of a perfect America.
    (or I guess ending slavery/lack of women and EVERY man voting rights/segregation laws just slipped Jefferson's mind when he first wrote the Constitution, huh? MEINNNN KAMPFFFFF!!!!)
    That was the kind of statement these kids were making. Saruman even acknowledged it. I said if you're just going to give them a pass with your "Oh it's America and the 1st Amendment says blah blah and it's not even any of our business", shutter-over-the-eyes attitude, then you're no better than them. Heck, going back to the whole American Flag = Swastika comparison, you'd no more blissfully nonchalant than all the Germans who shrugged off "German Pride > Everyone else's Pride" as innocent patriotism.

    [size=7]I'M JUST SAYIN......................[/size]

    THAT'S the biggest problem I have with you guys. Acting like this is no big deal. Sure possibly in the long run it might not be and I'm just being paranoid. But I'd rather deal teach the lesson that this shit shouldn't be tolerated anymore and teach it NOW...or we just wait till something much worse happens; by then it might be too late for someone.

    Look at it this way, if the students involved wearing the American flags were black, or some other race ( not every American is white ) you wouldn't have given a damn, would you?

    Or is it that only white people can be racist?

    LOL I c wut u did there.
    Ok fine. Let's go hypothetical:

    If it were other races, I'd still be pretty upset. I highly doubt a student originally from Mexico would bash their own heritage. And if they were black or Asian or Indian, then that'd make them assholes too and I'd STILL be calling for retribution. In this case they made their cause more obvious :D
