Republican Voter Suppression!

[sanantone]

It is all about respect and not pandering. Sorry if I offend anyone, but a lot of white people just don't seem to understand what minorities have to go through because they are not in our shoes. We already have to deal with racial profiling. The last thing we want is another reason for police officers to harass us. I am not Hispanic and I do not look like the stereotypical criminal, but even I have been racially profiled a few times just for being black. When you joke about electric fences likening human beings to livestock, people are obviously going to feel disrespected. Another thing is a lot of conservatives often misunderstand Affirmative Action. It is not a quota system, which is illegal. Even with Affirmative Action, those with ethnic names on their resumes are less likely to get call backs than those with Anglo names. Studies have been done where the exact same resumes were sent out just with different names and the Anglo names got more call backs. This was done to control for qualification differences.

I actually do want to get tough on illegal immigration, but I don't think Arizona's law is the solution. I know we have had a tough time getting the federal government to do this, but the answer is to secure our borders and other entry points.

This video is just to give you an idea of what minorities have to go through with law enforcement. People think this is rare or non-existent because they don't have to live it.
