Mexican-American boy's national anthem sparks racist comments

It's not about the boy. It's about this invasion of criminals breaking into our country, bankrupting our system and being protected by Democrats as Rome burns.

I hear you about that, but the boy isn't an illegal immigrant. I just thought adults were intelligent enough to realize that we have plenty of legal Hispanic citizens, a lot of them born and raised in this country.

Again, it's no unassailable position that these commenters took, but don't break into their country by the millions and rape their system and then act all indignant when they get sensitive about it and overreact.

They should be smart enough to realize that just because someone looks Hispanic, that doesn't mean they are an illegal immigrant. It's a pretty darn ignorant position to take I would say.

As is condemning someone for being sensitive about being invaded and overrun by millions of criminals. Do you spell-check people at gun point, too? Cut them a little slack.

And unless I'm just missing it in the article, it does not appear to state anywhere in it that the boys parents immigrated here legally. And since, as I demonstrated earlier, birthright citizenship is an invented myth, the boy, in that case, would NOT be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the U.S. and therefore WOULD be a foreigner/illegal immigrant.

Since you wanted to get so technical and unforgiving about supposed lapses in these people's logic. :2wave:

Can you prove they are illegal? What's that? No? Didn't think so. :2wave:
 
would like to inform all those on the left assuming these comments where made by racist redneck republicans, I hate to inform you that 3 out of those 4 comments posted by CNN was made by African Americans. the 4th i could not find any information on.
I guess that blows the racist right wing bigot narrative out of the water
 
This thread is full of so much FAIL it's not even funny.

I am truly embarrassed to be an American right now....

Well you shouldn't be. Every country has their share of ignoramuses.

Weak. :lol:

The fallacy you are using here is called "ad ignorantium"--if you can't disprove my claim (that these people are inexcusably ignorant for calling this kid an illegal immigrant, which he could very well be), then I must be right.

Try again.
 
Yeah, why would the AUTHOR of the 14th Amendment know better what it meant than other random people who were pushing it? :roll:

You DO realize the Constitution and the amendments within are a collaboration, don't you? And the possible ramifications and interpretations are hashed out during the lengthy amendment process. The primary drafter of any amendment is not, and never has been, the final arbiter on its interpretation.

Beware, facts and evidence are to liberals as holy water to a vampire. This is the part where they fall to the ground, cover their ears and start screaming, "Racist!" at anything that moves. :roll:

Then show me another major player in the drafting of this amendment who publicly stated that this would confer automatic citizenship on anyone who happens to be born in this country. I would be impressed, considering that DENYING that the 14th Amendment would ever be used in this way was one of the MAIN SELLING POINTS.
 
Bottom line: Leftists operate on crisis and perceived victimhood, so CNN is scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel here using random Internet postings from total nobodies to keep stoking the flames of racial animosity. What's disgusting here is that liberals stand for absolutely NOTHING other than Democrat power, and will enthusiastically divide the country and exploit/destroy minorities to protect it.

it what makes it that much more absurd is the comments they posted came from African Americans. So is CNN trying to say Blacks are racist or where they hoping no one would take the time to look up the race of the posters and assumed the very few viewers they still have will believe they was white republicans

Conservatives have facts, evidence and actual arguments, people like you (self-proclaimed 'centrists' who ALWAYS find reasons to be embarrassed about being an American) have posturing, fainting and being offended. :shrug:

Here's a novel idea: Read the claims made and respond with facts, evidence or something vaguely resembling a counterpoint (i.e., debate).

Sure, but equally don't react to that in a blatently racist manner then get sensitive about it being identified as racist.

Unfortunately there will always be assholes on the internet.
This story was aired in the Aussie Media tonight. This beautiful young man was born and raised in San Antonio. His father served in the US Navy. I'd be proud to have him as a citizen in my Country. He sang so beautifully and has such a great attitude.

Links please?

Setting the record straight is not me being sensitive. I'm not the one breathlessly and indignantly condemning people here.
 
Illegal immigrants cannot vote, but they can work for really cheap and keep downward pressure on wages. That is why the Repubs have never done anything about them, but do tell the base it is the democrats fault they are here.
Incoherent response...???

And? Who cares if he's beautiful? Or that his dad was in the Navy? That's just emotional blather. Explain how this "controversy" is anything other than what I called it:

A Hispanic boy sings the National Anthem at a basketball game and a few knuckleheads drop some ill advised and ignorant comments on Twitter. Sure, the people who dropped the tweets are idiots and deserve to take some heat for their stupidity but is this really front page stuff?

Too much ado about too little, if you ask me. This isn't "Breaking News -Mainstream Media" worthy. Back page below the fold at best.

Your defense of blatantly ignorant racism towards a child singing the national anthem is truly despicable.

I guess the only positive thing I can say about much or your responses is that I'm glad the child was not of Middle Eastern heritage and possibly Muslim.

:lol:

Democrats are enthusiastically trying to import millions of new Democrat voters, at the expense of law-abiding immigrants, public safety, fiscal sanity, the economy, etc...but because Republicans have been hijacked by leftist RINOs and don't put up much of a fight, it's some big outrage that I correctly attribute the problem to those causing it?

Try again. :doh
