    Though I speak enough Spanish to get by, most of the Latinos I deal with here would rather speak English than Spanish.

    I like to practice my Spanish, but they prefer to speak the English if they are able.

    Perceptions are not always realities.

    I appreciate your candor.

    I suppose these are subjective experiences at the core but....having so many phone language options lends credence.

    In fact, KKK/neo-Nazi organizations almost always support Democrats over any Republican - any Democrat over any Republican - for obvious reasons.

    "Obama might be a better candidate for our cause because he's racially conscious. One of our big things in the National Alliance is to raise the racial consciousness of our people. Young whites in universities, they've been stripped of any kind of racial identity. Obama may be a racist in a positive sense for his people--that will awaken a lot of the whites, knock some sense into them. … I give Obama credit, he seems to have stuck to his guns as far as pulling the troops out of Iraq. He's a very intelligent man, an excellent speaker and has charisma. John McCain offers none of that. Perhaps the best thing for the white race is to have a black president. My only problem with Obama is perhaps he's not black enough.” Erich Gliebe, “Who: Chairman, National Alliance; Likes: Third Reich, the movie Rocky; Dislikes: Integration, Jewish-controlled med.”

    Nations don't have "beliefs". Only people have beliefs. What you're saying is as if some other nation were to forbid Americans coming into their country because there are people here who believe that it's moral to kill others because of the language they speak. They have their nuts, we have ours.

    If it's that simple to make you a racist, then you have racist tendencies long ago.

    You're an adult and racism is a choice. No one makes anyone racist.

    Y'all righties are pathetically funny. What have the South to be proud of, and what part of the Constitution did they "defend"?? Slavery??

    Righties are history revisionists. You can tell them this till you are blue in the face but they won't hear of it. Yet here they are defending the Confederate flag and are proud of southern states. They are talking out both sides of their mouths.

    LOL. What do you know about "freedom"?? I certainly don't want to be subjected to your brand of it.

    In 2016, evidently he has buyer's remorse and has returned home, to embrace his roots. He likes the anti Jewish crowd. Trump dissapointed him.

    Then who cares what language immigrants choose to speak. I'm quite sure that is protected by the 1A!

    So what? Everybody is anonymous on the internet and nobody have to care about what anybody else have to say or think. Perhaps you should acquaint with the post I was responding to.

    What city do you live in? FBI and DOJ statistics that African Americans do not commit 95% of the shootings in any one city.

    Yes but there should be no expectations of accommodations for non English speakers.

    I think you took one of Jesse Jackson's comments and generalized it. A lot of Africans are curious about American blacks. Some intermarry and have children who can really be called African-Americans, like I did. The ones who are snobby don't understand our culture. It's not about race.

    Thank Democrats and other political parties of 150 years ago which has nothing to do with Democrats of today.

    Wrong, Lincoln was the progressive and liberal thinker. The Democrats were the reactionary conservatives of the day.
