Rig--

In Haiti, the slaves overthrew their oppressors. Do you really think there's a parallel with the US now?   Sounds to me as if your paranoia is getting the best of your judgment. As I've said, many whites in the South were afraid of blacks--(under slavery they had some reason for this--do you think slaves should be content?) But some whites still are afraid. We've also had dire predictions with Irish and Italian immigrants, and others. And who could forget that old favorite, the "yellow peril"?

Somehow the terrible danger presented by recent immigrants to those who came before has always come to nothing. There's no reason to think it will be any different with the current wave of Hispanic immigrants.

Let the rabid Republicans hang out the "Mexicans Go Home" sign. People who think should not be falling into line behind them.
