Inside the Brutal World of America's Kidnapping Capitol

I understand her reasoning. Nonetheless, she inappropriately and negatively generalized about an entire group of people, implying that they're all coming here to sell drugs. I don't even know why we're quibbling about this, you and I both know she's full of crap. A lot of Mexicans and central Americans come here because their own countries are ****holes and they want to take care of their kids. They're still violating our laws by doing so, though.

Because I despise the use and tagging of RACISM attached to something someone doesn't like because they have no other argument to make.

Was it wrong/dishonest for her to say that? Yes absolutely!
Was it racist? No it was not.

You of all people should understand why I despise the improper and over use of the term racist.

Do I understand? Yes. But clearly, I'm right. ;) Admitting it won't make me think any less of you.

Listen, if Governor Brewer has stated that SOME illegal Mexicans were involved in drug distribution, I'd completely agree. But saying that ALL illegals are involved in drug trafficking is not only racist, it's simply inaccurate.

I've tried and failed to find a quote by the Governor that stated all illegal aliens involved in drug traffic were Mexicans or any other specific race..... could you please give a link?

Nice way to support your argument.

I supported mine. Her statement was not made on the basis of race and explained why.

You have yet to do so, other than to assume her statement was made on the basis of race, and explain the definition of racism.

That was sarcasm, you noob.
 
Brewer: “They’re coming here, and they’re bringing drugs. And they’re doing drop houses, and they’re extorting people and they’re terrorizing the families.”

All reasons why she would want to put that message out there to gain support for curbing illegal immigration.

I see nothing racist.

So Brewer is racist against that nebulous "they"? Since when did "they" become a race?

Again, post a Brewer quote that is racist or retract your assertion that she said something racist.

Her reference was clearly to Mexicans in the context of the discussion. Admirable intellectual dishonesty, though, on your part.

LOL...... Admirable intellectual dishonesty, on your part. Again show me a quote that names a race that she said are all drug dealers.
