Racism alive and growing again

Wanted to
wait before blogging on specific issues but couldn't.
It was too humbling to watch the debut of Tony Snow,
Bush's new press secretary from Fox News tell the
press core that he didn't want to "hug the tar baby"
(twice), then hearing John Gibson on May 11th comment
on the fact that hispanics in America have more
children than white Americans by saying "You know
what that means? Twenty-five years and the majority
of the population is Hispanic." Gibson later
repeated: "To put it bluntly, we need more babies."

Certainly we wouldn't want them to out-procreate the
white folks......With all of the fighting regarding
the immigration debate, racism is rearing an ugly
head again. On CNN, Lou Dobbs got mad at Democrats
for inferring racism has anything to do with the
immigration debate, but then he himself, said "I
don't believe in celebrating differences, I only
believe in celebrating what we have in common." Of
course he doesn't understand that diversity is what
makes us all learn from one another's perspectives,
none of which are perfect.
