The marginilization of whites in society (Dan Issel, Cracker Barrel, Toyota

[Michael2001]

I know this isn't the most PC of titles, but I couldn't think of anything better to describe what I'm going to talk about. I'm going to try and take a personal story of legal racism that happened to me, and intertwine that with the Dan Issel, Cracker Barrel, and Toyota stories.

I own and run a security firm in Virginia with three other guys. We've recently been trying to expand and were about to sign a deal with a rather large company in Richmond, this would have been huge for a firm of our size and I was already celebrating and looking for overly expensive Christmas gifts for my wife. Well it fell through, apparently the guys who were about to ink the deal with us got the message from higher ups in the company that they ought to sign with a minority firm. I can't give any details because nothing's final yet; but all signs point to the fact that we're going to lose out because we're 4 white guys competing with a firm run by Hispanics. I repeat, we're going to lose a lot of money- because we're white.

Dan Issel is the coach of the Denver Nuggets. In an altercation with a fan he called him a friggin Mexican (only he didn't say friggin). They had a guy from some Hispanic group on the O'Reilly Factor tonight. Not only does his group want Issel fired, but they want the Nuggets orginization to hire more Hispanics and do more work with Hispanic media. Now we're in a recession right now, companies aren't exactly hiring people right now. If the Nuggets cave and start to hire Hispanics, who do you think is going to be first in line to get fired?; you got it, white folk, they're going to be fired to make room for Hispanics, all so the Nuggets can say look at how diverse we are, please don't sue us.

Toyota just gave Jesse Jackson 700 million dollars so that he will not brand their corporation racist.

The Cracker Barrel is currently being sued for 100 million dollars for claims that they are racist to black customers. No proof, just the world of black customers against the word of Cracker Barrel management. I'd guess that the odds are very favorable that the black customers will win this lawsuit.

Issels comment was totally out of line. If he was representing my company and called someone a bleeping Mexican piece of Bleep then he would be fired. Don't make your stand defending an outrageous and ethnically derogatory statement.

The diversity that is important is the diversity of ideas. Diversity based on the color of ones's skin, country of origin , or religion is a false premise. It is bound to fail becuase there is no basis of competence.

In an altercation with a fan he called him a friggin Mexican (only he didn't say friggin).

Actually, Issel called the guy a "Mexican piece of $hit."

Had the word "Mexican" been left out, I'm sure no one would have even heard of this incident.

Why is it OK to call a Mexican, (or anyone else), a "piece of $hit" but it's the worst thing that could ever be to call a Mexican a Mexican?

Too funny! This planet is nuts!

It's not the Hispanics fault. They are just playing the game. The problem is that these quotas exist. If they exist, you have to learn to use them to your advantage.

In short, learn how to play the game.

[BADROTOFINGER]

You are absolutely right, look at what it did for Loretta Brixley, er, I mean Sanchez down in Kalifornia...JFK

One of my friends told everyone at work he was a Native American. He even had Indian prints on the wall. Worked like a charm.

Remember, if you say you are an American Indian, it's intolerant to ask you to verify it.

Rent "Falling Down"...

Forget that - buy it. Then watch it every now and then. Great flick.

[bulldog905]

Maybe not construed as a racist, but the whining is counterproductive.

What would you define as "productive" as a response to anti-white racism. Bending over and taking it?

If the trend continues, and nobody in the media, legal, or political mainstream is going to speak up for the equality under law, of white people, then the extremists will prosper and grow in this vaccum.

Civil War II is not as unfathomable as it was just a few years ago.

I don't thing MLK would even recognize today's "civil rights" movement. Sad.

If I were a black person, the LAST place I'd be eating at would be a restaurant called the CRACKER Barrel! LOL

I can just see the man insulted. He goes home, hangs up his coat, tells his wife, the coach of da Nuggets called me a "Mexican piece of shit". She turns to him and says "you are, just look in the mirror". He walks to the fireplace, looks deeply at his reflection, and screams "I am Mexican, oh God", as he begins sobbing, puts his head in his hands and resolves to fix the coach for all of his amigos, and of course a bunch on dineros.

Now is this a racist reply?

Then punish Issel. But don't leverage Issel's stupidity to blackmail the Nugget organization. These 'minority' advocacy groups remind me of a bunch of wild dogs. They are anxious to shred anyone that appears weak.
How do we make the assuption that Issel's idiotic outburst 'represents' the Nuggets anyway? If I were the Nuggets, I'd repremand him and ignore the Hispanics outcry.

I bought Falling Down a few years ago. And I like to watch it from time to time, just to remind myself how my life imitates art. I realize that this movie featured an arch-commie in Michael Douglas, but it really rings true about what a pool of garbage the United States has become.

[SmartEnough]

question-what is the amount of guards?? and are they from different groups/races etc??,or all your guards are white??

Please explain, what is the point of your question? This question should have no relevance in a color-blind society.

The fact that you feel it has to be posed is proof that the point of anti-discrimination laws/lawsuits is NOT racial equality.

[BikerTrash]

Now is this a racist reply?

I don't know. Evidently, I ain't a very good judge of such things.

It's a dang funny reply though...LOL!
