in english we have to write a persuasive essay, and the teacher read one of the student's examples from the last class to us so that we could judge it's persuasive appeal. This was what was written.

"For years millions of illegal immigrants have been flooding into the country, of which we as true Americans are financially responsible. Too long has our useless government failed to do its job; we must close our borders and stop the immigrants from coming in, even if it means injuring or killing them, in order to preserve the fabric of our great nation."

I have never been so angry in my life...I can't believe people still think this way. I said "That's totally fucked up" while our professor was reading it...and she just nodded. I allready spent the class period denouncing the argument...I just can't believe people believe this crap...reminds me of American History X.

There is this "Vigilante Line"-white redneck volunteer murderers- in Arizona that shoots immigrants starving and dying of thirst who try to get across, but the Presbyterian Church has set up watering stations to help those immigrants so that they can at least stay alive.

National Pride should be the last reason anybody causes somebody harm; stupid facists.

Racism makes me very angry...I'm very surprised at my reaction.
