I'm sorry for posting this here, but I have to get it off my chest

[entanglement]

This was posted by someone in GD. Yes, really. I suggested the poster go to stormfront or KKK. Read for yourself and judge. (Of course it's from an immigration thread)

:argh: :argh:

Begin quote:

"...and Ronald Reagan who ran against "illegal immigration" opened up CA to everybody on earth. It was real easy to get a 5% goverment loan to start a business as long as you were from another country. Koreans and Vietnamese both jumped on these. Unfortuantly black people, who had been waiting for loans for hundreds of years got pissed and burned down their stores in the LA riots. Getting sold ROTTEN food didn't help much either. I also remember when we had an earthquake and the Iranians immediately raised the price of bottled water in their 7 elevens to 8 dollars a bottle. THAT'S THE TEAM SPIRIT! And Gawd help you if you're in a motel owned by Indian immigrates and you stay 15 minutes after 12, You get charged for another whole day! Never give an American a break in their own country. My favorite part. The Vietnamese boat people actually ATE OUR DOGS! Fluffy "meat" wasn't for sale so they improvised. Oh the good old days! Another thing. If latinos like blacks so much, how come they shut down the LA Co jail 2 times last month after latinos, who out numbered blacks two to one JUMPED ON THEM! Speaking as someone who's actually been in LA Co jail, I can promise you there is NO love between blacks and hispanics. TAXES? Immigrant store owners don't pay taxes. That's why they use a calulater instead of the cash register when they ring up your shit. Get it? I know way too much about immigration! I haven't been this furious since NAFTA!"

1. The immigration threads are making me sick

The xenophobes are coming out of the woodwork... some of them posters whose posts I've often respected...

2. I agree. I mean, I realize people have strong feelings

about this issue (and in fact am more of an immigration pragmatist than idealist), but didn't expect such blatant racism / xenophobia. These are Buchananites masquerading as liberals and progressives.

at their school... why did I read the thread? Why did I post in it?

This is not a drill. A GD thread has been sighted in the vicinity of The Lounge. Do not panic, but move in an orderly fashion towards the busses. Do not panic.

Updated. Rogue GD thread appears to be carring on a battle from it's original forum.



As the thread rampages through the Lounge, Admin has scrambled the Lounge Defense Force.





MechaMcLargehuge, approaches the rogue thread.



And drives it back from whence it game. (Collateral damage in the hundreds of millions)
