I think Marlon Brando said it best in “One Eyed Jacks”… Brando: “ok, you big tub of guts… now turn around and get you some”… meaning, you beat the hell out of me when I was in those handcuffs… now it’s your turn… turn around and get you some.

But in the real world I don’t think people harbor grudges… do they?

“911, This we will never forget.”

— Unknown Author

P.S.

Do you really think those Japanese have forgotten Hiroshima?

What was it… 100,000 people vaporized in 3 seconds?

Don’t get me wrong, we had to do what we had to do to stop Japan from tearing up our cities…

But let’s separate fact from fiction… 911 is fiction.

The enslavement of Negro’s for 200 years is FACT.

THINK OF THAT!!! What if your people where slaves for 200 (two hundred) years? I’m not talking about the Greek and Roman days or 200 A.D…. I’m talking about something that just officially ended in 1968… “Equal Human Rights.” Oh, excuse me… they changed it to “Civil Rights” since they realized that minorities where human, just not civilized.

What do you expect… don’t you know that there is a difference between a dog raised in a house, and one raise in a junkyard.

I hate to tell you this… BUT THE WAR IS ON… it’s have’s verses the have-not’s.

And just like all wars… the perpetrators will get the uninformed, and illiterate to fight their wars.

And this one is easy… you just call it a race war, and sit back and watch em’ kill each other. It’s great for business (manufacturing, etc.) and it eliminates the “now ruined” junkyard-dogs from the society (both white and black).

As with all wars, I don’t think war is the solution… because you have the same problem again in another 20 or 30 years.

The solution in somewhere intertwined in the doing away with the capital system.

Also, it has recently come to light that one of the officers involved in this debacle is also being charged for a murder of a latino teenager while he was in police custody.(it was covered up to appear as a suicide.)

This is sound advice for any traveler. In my own years living in Latin America, I was only once slurred in the way your describe.

However I think we should look deeper into this before we accept at face value. your conclusion, i.e., that foreign persons in the U.S. should be mindful not to act up against bigotry, lest they be beaten down.

Let us not forget the lessons of Morganthau, who urged humanity to “speak truth to power”.

When you, as a citizen of the world’s most powerful state, travel to countries that have a history of marginality and constant encroachment upon their hegemony by the United States and others, you necessarily become the only point of contact between your culture and theirs. These are people who will not be allowed to travel to your country, so they see in you an opportunity to express their own identity in opposition to yours. This may appear or even be hostile, but you must understand its roots to realize that fundamentally, anti-American sentiment is not an ethnic question, but a political one.

Whereas racial or ethnic slurs against newcomers to the U.S. have an entirely different source, that is, the hostility of the dominant culture against weaker groups that collectively begin to undermine the established social order of privilege and status.

If racial or ethnic bias in America’s past was motivated by a genuine belief in biological superiority, today’s nativist hatred is motivated by a single, overarching fear of the gradual loss of power.

Nothing can be more chilling to the nativist than the possibility that minority groups attain enough power to treat these long established American elites the way they have treated minorities for 200 years.

Thank God the feds got involved on this one. The mother who allegedly told her thug son and his co-thugs to “get their stories straight” should have also been charged with obstruction since she knew what had happened.

…and before anybody starts using the tired “he was illegal” excuse and he was with an underage girl excuse, it should be noted that the victim was ENGAGED to a woman from the community, so he would have become a citizen were it not for those thugs. Also, if the victim was dating the 15 year-old girl he was with that night, then that genius Piekarsky should have told his momma’s beau what was going on instead of engaging in Neo-Nazi thug behavior.

If they are convicted, all of them should be put under the jail forever.

I’ve seen bad ones both black and white.

Is it… absolute power corrupts absolutely?

Or is it their misguided attempts at discouraging crime, when they know what’s going on… but probably wouldn’t be able to prove it in court?

Now as someone who’d traveled to several Latin American countries in the past, I must mention this. During my travels I was frequently reminded that if any locals called me “gringo” or “gabacho”, or any other ethnic slurs that Latinos use against foreigners, I must never respond to them if I know what was good for me. Luis Ramirez probably should’ve done the same, if he’d known what was good for him also.

Just thank you.
