What's even funnier is professional ambulance chaser Al Sharpton has been drawn into this. This is a totally stupid move on his part because most blacks do not want illegals made into citizens anymore than we do. They stand to lose more from an entitlement standpoint. "Reverend Al" is cutting his own peoples throat.

You've hit the nail on the head here. I taught a class called "The history of Whiteness in America". I did so more so I could learn on the college's dime than anything as they paid for the books I needed. It was a worthwhile excersize for me, them and the students. Thing is the question of who is considered white, both socially and legally, has always been an important question here. There are even a series of Supreme Court cases (called the Pre-Requisate Cases) where the justices decided whether Armenians (white), Japanese(not white) and Syrians (at first white, then not white) could immigrate. My personal favorite was a case from the Louisiana Supreme Court from the 1920's called Roberts v La.. In it, our hero a black guy named Roberts married a white girl. He was charged with violating a state law against inter racial marriage and got 5 years hard labor.
His lawyer got him off on appeal by sucessfully arguing that the girl was Italian and therefore not definatively white (again
).
The one thing that was consistent through this whole history was that even though it took various immigrant groups varying degrees of time to be considered white both legally and socially there was one group that hasn't. The group that hasn't? Black folks. And don't think they aren't majorly pissed about it. One of colleagues (a scary smart black woman, whose whole attitude on life, and elected officials in particular, makes me wonder whether Toms' dad may have been stepping out at some point
) put it to me this way when I asked herr or help in prepping the class. She said "Shorty, that one's easy. Your mics, spics, kikes, pollacks, gooks and rag heads all get to be white and sit at the grown up's table. If we discover f....k Martians tomorrow, I'll still be a nigger". True or not, the point is that that the Right Reverend Sharpton ain't exactly winning a lot of love in the hood for helping out illegals who take jobs from blacks and are pretty racist themselves. Hell, if this were a hundred years ago, it would be like him helping poor white share croppers from Missisippi settle in New York. What is he thinking?
