Protest march and work boycott.

[MID]

So i just over herd on the news that them parasites are having another protest march and work boycott in my city. So i can only imagine, that this is probably a nation wide thing?

Its too late now, but maby we can plan for next year. Maby we could organize enough people to go out, and buy the parade permits, for this day next year. So that they cant have it on the same day. And then on the may fifth, have a get out of my country celabration. Where we wave huge ass mexican flags in a negative (photo) color scale, with a big fricking circle and cross's on them.




Too all them crying families. All i got to say is this.
Dont built your house on sand, and think that its foundation will get stronger with time!

If I was an employer and one of my employees didn't come to work because of stink-o da-mayo I would can their ass. I'm not even sure what that celabration is for anyway.

Cinco de Mayo ("The Fifth of May" in Spanish) is a national holiday in Mexico which is also widely celebrated in the United States. It commemorates the victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin over the French occupational forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

[Yep, they also beat the French.]

Chinese new year is celebrated here too, mostly by Americans of Chinese descent. (Although if you dig dried and sugared ginger root--spicyHOT!--you should check it out.)

Celebrate what you want, but be prepared for the consequences. Since most employers will give a few flex vacation days for 'personal religious observances' (Hey, the Jews do have a buncha these types of holidays), anyonwe with a brain can schedule a day off for whatever. If you don;t show up for work on a day you're expected to be there....you pay the consequensces, regardless of your heritage or beliefs.

I'm all for the prosecution and deportation of illegals, but not for the harassment of legal citizens of the US that might share ethnicities with the common illegals of the decade. That's just gestapo-ism.

My ancestors were wounded i two world woars tro ensure that American Citizens from Poland can celebrate Womends day, Children's day, Easter (they freakin invente easter eggs), etc, The Americans descended from Chinese can have their New year, and I can celebrate the Yuletide in the custom of my peeps.

YMMV

1+ Steely. If the legal citizens want to celebrate what ever,it's fine with me. If they want to protest, that is their right . The work boycott is between their employers and them.

[MID]

How ever jaded i may seem.
I have no problem if legal citizens would like to celebrate, what ever they want to.

But at the same time. If you look at the history of the mexican citizens. Alot of them came here illegally, and then through the politics of Our government, where granted amnesty. And that is what really burns me. If i didnt pay my taxes and got away with it for long enough, do you think that the government should just say oh well and let me keep them?
And another thing that bugs, me is that they are the only ones that proudly wave thier foreign flag in the masses, like they are doing some kind of victory lap. I live in a area that has a lot of fresh polish, and russian immigrants as well as mexican, but i cant say that i ever seen a Polish or Russian flag on the streets. Why ? Probably because they love this country and respect it.

I don't mind Cinco de mayo, its the mexicans flags that irritate me.

My wife is Mexican and she never heard of the Cinco de Mayo untill the late 80s and even then she said it was a 'White People' Holiday celebrated only in White People bars in Calf. She said they would put up plastic Mexican flags and sell Corrona beer to white folks by the ice filled bucket. I have asked many Mexican who work for me what it is about and they say for the most part ''we don't know.. What happened on the 5th of May'' What es Happen Mr Norton"? ''Es no Beeg Deal en Mexico" My son brought home a bunch of stuff from school a few years back on Cinco de Mayo one was a drawing of the Alamo with the Mexican flag flying over the ramparts. I called the school and asked them what it was about. I met with my son's teacher and prinincipal I showed them the Alamo print and asked both of them..
"Do either of you know what Cinco de Mayo is or what happend"? They both said it is a Hispanic holliday or something.. but admiting not knowing the first thing about it.. I asked them why did you send home this picture of the Alamo with a Mexican flag flying over it? They both said they did not know it was the Alamo and said they downloaded it off a clip art program for Cinco de Mayo from the school computer, I told them my wife is Mexican and has never heard of it nor have any of your other so called Hispanic or Latin parents. They think you are fools. Now please tell me what happened and what is Cinco de Mayo? They said ask the Spanish teacher.. Ok so I did .. She said I am from Spain and don't know but I think it is Mexican independence day or something but I am from Spain so I don't know you will have to ask your son's teacher etc.. So the truth is it is beer selling racket just like St Paddy's day. (which is nothing in Ireland) We White people and I suppose Blacks and Asians buy iced Mexican beer in a Bucket and eat Doritos covered in gooey Velveta and hamburger. Listen to La Bamba by Richie Valens circa 1958 on a jukebox and get a hangover the next day.. Thats what 'Cinco de Mayo' all about Charlie Brown:drink:

Well I for one will not be celebrating it!












My birthday is on the fourth,and I will be too hung over! :beer:

[SSwee]

Figure this.
A buddy of mine which is an EMT working ambulance told me today that they were told to ask if the hispanics were illegal and if the reply was yes what to put on the paperwork to receive full payment from the Feds. This same procedure also applied to the 10K dollar life flight chopper rides.
Who wonders where all the tax monies go?

The big protest's, at least here, are going to be tomorrow on the 1st, "May Day".:jerkoff:

[pigpen]

Celebrating a religous event is one thing, but a celabration cause you beat the french? Who hasen't.

Great point!

Remember Italians americans hold Colombus Day almost as holy, and all the guy did was accidently find islands in the west indies, thus the name, native americans hate that name any way(and on the payroll of the spanish any way) and its one of the celebrated national holliday's, We celebrate many holidays with far less meaning, if you fail to understand why mexicans feel that its worth while for them to feel pride, tell the italians not to honor colombus as all he did was screw up and end up finding what others had found before, and eventually some one else would have rediscovered.

They can observe what ever they want as long as its legal otherwise should irish americans feel pride in st patricks day as well. They dont make you celebrate it.

[Perro]

last year i forgot my lunch on gringo de mayo, and the GD gut truck didnt come to work because they were protesting. that pissed me off royally - i starved that day, and it was GD 110 that day - no gatorade available off the truck.

i told the drivers of the trucks on our jobsite that if they take the day off this time, im buying a catering truck, and ill politic my ass off to the jobsite superintendant, of non latin descent, to get them thrown off the job, and my trucks on the job.

She told me i was crazy - and i replied, you are correct, i am crazy enough to do it

[drhall762]

May day, the great Proletariat Communist holiday. Watch yourselves out there.

Theres One Ity bity problem. All those examples are fine and dandy because they are celebrated by Americans in American. Whilst, cinco de mayo is vastly celebrated by Illegals. It would be like, if your neighbor came over and raped your wife, and then every year on that day had a big party, and watched the home movie, in your living room.


Anyways.
I think they should have more "Day with out Latinos". Traffic was very light, the line at the bank was small and moved fast. The restaurant i ate at, had better then usual service. Overall everything today was better.

Next year they should step it up a notch and have a day with out illegal latinos every where, At school, in the hospitals, on the streets.

Them people are pretty dumb, it kinda like a gas boycott for a day. It will have no long term economic effect. Most of them probably used a paid vacation day, so realy its not like they will be working any less for the year.

If anything all they did was help the economy. You know alot of them had some sort of party, which means they spent more money then normal.
So more of the money they earned, stayed in the US instead of going back to mexico.

MID, do some reasearch, it took more than a hundred years from when the first Italian miners here celebrated the day, until it was made a federal holliday. I guess until they have been here a hundred years, you will give them some slack eh. Well remember not everyone out that is of mexican decent, is illegal, many are legal and citizens too. I think you just seem to think they all are. There are twenty six million folks here of mexican decent, eighteen million are citizens by birth or naturalization. Not sure of the eight and a half million non citizens out there that are carrying legal green cards though, but thats the data as the census says. Thus two thirds of the folks of mexican decent are citizens.

Untill the middle of the first half of the twenteth century italian americans were openly discriminated against, Irish americans were in the same boat fifty or so years earlier. It happens all the time, the new waves of immigrants always take the lower rungs on the ladder, economically and socially too. (hell we really screwed the chinese by makeing their imigration totaly illegal for fifty years or so)

Remember we forced the Mexican cession after the war thus we are some what the outsiders here too. If you aint native, everyone came from some where else too.

"history of the mexican citizens. Alot of them came here illegally, and then through the politics of Our government, where granted amnesty."
-->The dutch side of my family, the Copenhavers and the Hoovlers, got here in the 1620...there weren't no ellis isle then. I guess they were also here 'illegally' and granted 'amesty', or there were not taxes in that day.

"they are the only ones that proudly wave thier foreign flag in the masses"
-->curious note in the Indy march--this year, no mexican flags, all american flags...go figure.


"cant say that i ever seen a Polish or Russian flag on the streets. Why ? Probably because they love this country and respect it."
-->Well, that and they really hated their countries, or rather what they had become (for us folks who ALWAYS have electricity and hot/cold running water, the charm of the US vs. other countries is often lost on us). Slavics make loverly immigrants and capitalists...my buds from the Ukriane and Belarus, and Russia proper got here, got job, got citizenship, bought a House, gun, and vehicle, I think in that order. The will ALWAYS badmouth the country they came from, mostly targeting the govt an the culture of stealing that Socialism promotes.
