Arizona Immigration Law

Disclaimer: This articles reflects the thoughts & opinions of @CHICAGOKING and are not necessarily the thoughts and opinions of www.theinfosoup.net.

The Immigration Law in Arizona states that if the police assume a person is an illegal immigrant, they have the authority to ask for some proof of their citizenship.

How I feel: There is NO problem at all with it. If you were a legal citizen, this law really doesn’t affect you. All you have to do is prove that you are legal and keep it moving. The only people that really have something to worry about are the people here ILLEGALLY. Illegal immigrants seem to have this idea that they are above the law because of their personal situation. Everybody has his or her own problems to deal with, but that gives you no right to sneak into our country. Especially when there are legal ways to become a citizen. Some will argue “Becoming a citizen would take to long” or “This law is racially discriminating against Hispanics”.

1^st of all if the legal way of becoming a U.S citizen takes too long for you, then stay in your own country. You don't have to be here. If you are, you will abide by the rules and regulations set up by our government. The world wasn’t made to bend & fold to make things easier for you.

2^nd Yes the law may be somewhat Racially profiling, but it is the LAW.

Like it or not.

The "White Privilege" by: @wwwgabecom

Some people think that being racist is only viewing a race negatively. What about puttin’ a race on a pedestal, even if it's done subconsciously? Most, if not all of us, do this on the regular and don't even notice it. But just being born a white kid, you're already at an advantage in the community and you did nothing to get it. Vice versa, minorities are at a disadvantage. Lemme explain my thoughts…

A white person can basically move to pretty much any neighborhood and not have the fear of some people reacting negatively towards them. They can go shopping and not have the feeling that all eyes are on them. White people don't have to make their children aware of the discriminations that may exist against them, because, for the most part, discriminations against white people don't really exist like that! A simple example; people talking with a mouthful of food. Sounds stupid right? But picture being at the mall, just chillin at the food court. There could be a group of white people in full conversation, all of which are blabbin away with food in their mouth. The most anyone would do is laugh at their lack of table manners. Let that be being a minority doing it, maybe even me, and listen to the adlibs change. You hear comments like, "look at this uneducated (ignorant) guy!" They [white people] can wear whatever they want to, almost anywhere they want to, without having to think about what people gonna say about them. A white person gets a position of power and the rest of the office doesn't seem surprised. But, when a minority gets that same promotion and it's a wave of “wow, what an accomplishment,” throughout the office. If a cop pulls them [white people] over they dont have any reason to believe it's because of their skin color. They can ask to “speak to a manager” in stores, and 9x out of 10 its probably someone of their skin color.

Another stupid thing, they can buy picture frames, and the model people in the frame are always what ? … caucasian. They can be late without having it associated with their race. How many times have I been late and people go, “Gabe runs on 'Dominican time,' ” meaning what exactly ? that Dominicans are always late ? I guess so. *shrug*

I can go on for days with common examples. But am I being racist? I dont think so, but maybe I have a bias opinion because of my own experiences. Regardless of the fact you can't say anything I just said ain't true. I'm Dominican and I read all of those things and think about if I did it, how would people react.

It's nothing against the white race because as I stated it's nothing they worked to get. They were born with The “White Privilege.”

My Thoughts on Racism...RIP Anthony Hill

By: @TheMulahTruth

Have you heard of this hate crime? A young black African-American male, shot in the head and dragged down the street by a truck (and suspect). When I heard about this my heart dropped. I'll never understand the hate that consumes an individual so much to the point that they would take that hate out on others, ending their lives. People refuse to open their minds, causing them to hate other people and the things that they fail to understand. OPEN YOUR MIND, OPEN YOUR HEARTS AND LETS LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Yes we live upon such a great Earth in size, but honestly ... there is no room for hate. Hate leads to the destruction of self & others. STOP THE VIOLENCE, END THIS HATE ... RIP Anthony Hill.
