I mean unless they are a white South African.


Well, he only cares about the southern border. Doesn't care about facts and studies that show benefits of immigration, focuses on racially divisive propaganda from this admin. Ignores that many undocumented immigrants (including a majority for many of the years he's been here ranting about immigrants), are simply visa overstays - and most of those don't fit the 'look' that appears targeted by those he cheers on. Plus many statements and comments about racial groups and his interactions with them. I'm not uncomfortable with the label. 
Not really - not up to you. And the only one who could probably won't

Just a reminder - you're not in their club. They don't like you. They will discard you the moment it is convenient. Your bootlicking does nothing for your future. 

It's the kid in high school that got invited to the party because he had a car to get everyone there.  Once you're at the party, they want nothing to do with you.

When time comes for a ride home, they'll blow smoke up your ass for 30 seconds, and you'll feel good again.

Monday in school... the party never happened for them, but he's sitting at a table with folks who had no idea there was a party talking about how awesome it was.

That's right.  Alcohol is a drug.  A real nasty drug.  What again are the health benefits of your drug ?

While cannabis can sometimes get me stupid, alcohol makes you mean and judgmental.

You must consume a whole shitload of alcohol because you are one of the meanest and most judgmental SOB's I've ever encountered.

And no, you are not an old white guy like me.  I got 17 years on you kid. I'll be 73 next month and am old enough to be your father.  Trying to be something yer not, just like you tried to portray yourself as a real working man awhile ago.  Speaking about how you actually work with your hands as if you do it for a living.  
{#Roflol}


A real salt of the earth working man.  I bet you can't even tell me when was the last time you punched a time clock or had to fill out a time sheet in order to get paid.

Pardon me for keeping you from your MANicure.  I'm done.


Ah kurt, once again, you are out here spewing garbage claiming it to be fact. At least beaker had the courtesy to 'do his research' when stalking. 5 claims, four of them wrong, one I can't verify - so let's just call it wild hyperbole. Now you can accuse me of using big words against you too.  

Just a reminder - you're not in their club. They don't like you. They will discard you the moment it is convenient. Your bootlicking does nothing for your future.

Well, I do hope you receive the attention from LEO's that you seek.  With a little luck, your car will be torn apart and you will undergo a body cavity search.

Here's hoping !  

Best wishes, from yours truly.

And remember to support your local Federales, Gringo ...

I’m an old white guy like you. But unlike you my car doesn't smell like pot. So I'll get even less scrutiny than you would. 

Federales have been gone for a while now. The National guard is around. They are mostly kids doing their service. They might look scary, but if you talk to them in Spanish and offer them a cold coke, they are super friendly.  We do also kick in for the local cops Christmas party. They are underpaid civil servants and that's their year end bonus. They are all generally helpful. If you are looking for corruption, head to the municipal government. And the permitting department. Too many gringos bribing to be able to get around local laws.

Happy to educate you further on your southern neighbors. If any of this ever gets through,  you would see there is less to fear from them than there is from the boots so eagerly bow to.

Edit to add:

I know you think the term 'Gringo' is derogatory (you certainly seem to enjoy using it that way), but it has a wide range of meanings, most of them very innocuous. Sometimes it can be used in a teasing way, other times in an endearing way, often it's just a descriptor - I often refer to myself as 'El Gringo' when meeting someone I've been texting because that is an easy/obvious tag that will make sense if I'm the only white dude in a crowd of Mexicans.  I've been called that by guys who also refer to me as 'Hermano' who I've shared family dinners with. So call me what you want, I'll always try to take it in a positive way.  A little more SOB (south of border, not the other one) education for you.

There was an old truism / joke back in the day here in Cleveburg, that anyone who had an WMMS bumper sticker on their car did not have any insurance and was always a prime candidate to get pulled over, and not just within the city limits.  Pretty much anywhere in the Cleveland / Akron metro area.  Bonus points if you had a tail light out and the bumper sticker.
