I'm almost without words...this is insane.
Changing voting rules for the sole purpose of increasing the chances a Latino gets elected.
WTF country is this?

Well that's fucking retarded. My question to whomever thought this up would be: Doesn't everyone get six votes? Not just the Latinos? So if you lost when everyone got one vote why do you think the white people aren't just gonna cast all of their votes for the same candidate anyhow? You'll still get beat. Seems like if you have say 100 people and 70 of them are white and total you have 100 votes and the candidate ends up being whomever...when you up the votes but the ratio of whites to latino don't change then what are you accomplishing?

Or did I miss something? Either way this is retarded.

Yup, that's why you can have college funds for every ethnicity aside from "white", scholarships that you can only apply for if you have any ethnic background aside from Western European, magazines for one race only, television channels etc. That's why a black or hispanic comedian can do stand up or make a movie that makes fun of white people but we can't. I sure as hell can't tell my black boss that the reason he's mad about the long break I took is actually because I'm white. I know why it's happening, I see the back lash that white people (historically) are receiving because of the shit that we as a race have done to minorities out there but hate of any kind based solely on surface characteristics is retarded. I wasn't alive when slavery was active, my ancestors were coal miners from Scotland and Mennonites from Switzerland who all immigrated into NY and Penn and fought on the Union side of the Civil War.

The bottom line is that most people who are intelligent and level headed see hate as hate regardless of what color you are but the majority unfortunately isn't made of white or brown. It's made up of stupid.

This shit here was on C-Span...enjoy:

there's this gem in the article:


Someone explain to me how going into a voting booth and casting a ballot for the person you think is best qualified is fucking discrimination.
Were Hispanics barred from running?
Were Hispanic people denied the right to vote?

If you want equal ethnic representation in elected officials just fucking appoint them, don't rig elections.
I want to punch a baby right now.

I know a girl in Jamestown who's from Puerto Rico (and obviously, so are her parents) who would tear this idea to pieces. Given the chance, she would rage about how Hispanics are digging their own hole in society with their behavior once they arrive in the United States (according to her, they go from hard-working individuals to dregs) and that all the hate and persecution is earned and not wrongfully placed. She's (correctly) of the ideal that Hispanics will be taken seriously when immigrants stop acting like spoiled children and start doing things right.

Yeah but.....he doesn't speak spanish.

Next repub candidate will be a black/white/mexican (mix of all three, and who has assets that show all of them distinctly) woman.

The VP will be a white guy (hey, gotta please whitey somehow).
