Race & Murder/a view from elsewhere

[rc-am]

Chaz, I'm glad to hear you answer in the affirmative.  but a slight quibble:
I would not say that anti-immigration *in general* is riddled with racism.  I
would say that anti-immigration is racism.   we might discuss this some more,
but I'm interested in any attempt to coordinate action between African
Americans and Mexican Americans over immigration.   from memory, the brc
hedged a statement on immigration, I'm assuming because it was internally
unable to come to an agreement on this.  has this changed?

>Chas.: In general I would say very much so. For example, we had the contrast
between the U.S. turning away Black Haitian immigrants fleeing oppression and
drowning in flimsy boats and the U.S. welcoming with open arms White
immigrants from the European Socialist countries. The biggest racism is
against Mexican immigrants especially in the southwest. The immigration
quotas are against Africans and for Europeans. Recently the U.S. Supreme
Court has allowed total disregard of the due process rights of many Arab
immigrants, based on racist and national chauvinist discrimination. I'd say
the U.S. immigration policy is riddled with racism
