I am a Caucasion-American of European ancestry and now also a minority in a state approaching 40 million people. Government forms here in California were changed to reflect my status as a minority. They now ask me if I'm of Hispanic descent and, if not, to please check my race below. Yet the majority population here still gets all the minority benefits while I get none of them.
Additionally, I have faced everything from outright hatred and persecution (once even being chased by three Hispanics with knives out of a neighborhood I had crossed into seeking a Time magazine from a 7-12 [that's a 7-11 the Hispanic store owners took over and simply renamed a 7-12 to leverage the branding without having to pay any franchise fees to 7-11] after the store owner ordered me out of the store because I was white and whistled down the block at some Hispanics youths patrolling their neighborhood) to being refused work because I am not Hispanic nor bilingual to simply charging me more for goods and services because I am white than they would charge a fellow Hispanic. This is very common in the many areas dominated by Hispanics where I live.
As a Christian, I forgive them and certainly know a great many authentic Christians of hispanic descent; however, I don't think most of the rest of the nation understands what it is like to live as white male in a Hispanic dominated environment. I have found that it is pretty much a watered down version of the reverse of the discrimination I've read that Hispanics once endured from whites. The problem with saying "good, you're getting what you deserve" is that I don't deserve it. I never have been discriminatory you see. Two wrongs don't equal one right. If it's wrong it's wrong.
Are we approaching a time when caucasion civil rights need to be pursued for poor caucasions that cannot get work because they are not bilingual nor Hispanic in environments dominated by so many millions of Hispanics as it is where I live? Maybe. I believe though it would be desirable to carefully define the scope of such an effort for the good of all.

I am often now reminded of the words in one song by Kid Rock, "Guilty of being White" when the fact is center-left socialism stands against all forms of racism. There are several organizations out there for many races to gather around, but when Whites do the same they are attacked for being racists. Center-left socialism of the American blend means we are a melting pot and Whites are equal to all others and all other races are equal to one another as to Whites. The downside to this is that often known racists like Don Black ( Stormfront) or David Duke run equality websites with membership spouting outright racist like thought instead of equality protections. This negates any equality in the minds of most Americans. Even Whites will stand against Whites because of this fact.

It is unfortunate that all people of all races have yet to understand that the racial divide in America is being replaced by something far more encompassing...the socioeconomic rift. People of other races are indoctrined throughout their lives that whites hold a place of privilage in America and all other races must fight to gain equality; However this no longer holds true, today this is about rich and poor and for a rapidly growing percentage of the American population, we must all fight...for our very survival. The wealthy powerbrokers have put their boot on the collective neck of the poor, regardless of race. Rather than bemoan any negative interactions we may have with people of other races, I challenge you to try and organize hispanics in your area to come to a party meeting or at least hear some of the party's principles of community and racial harmony. They are not the enemy they are us and we are them. The party desperately needs more involvement in the hispanic community, they are the fastest growing demographic in America and they typically vote republican, we need those votes and voices. Also the premise that race based organizations or race based government programs somehow help to uplift a particular people, is a complete fallacy. Such organizations and programs serve only to keep the poor working class segment of the populace divided, there are far more of us than there are of the wealthy and as long as we focus on our divisions the American elite have nothing to fear from us. DON'T SHOOT, RECRUIT!

The complaint report has been noted. The complaint regarding specific websites listed within the thread are not advertizing or spamming purposes and within them exist a real political community. It is not up to this board as to our agreement with them or not. The topics are, in fact, a legitimate political force within America and have been referenced many times on various leftist boards.
Trolling, while this is not always seen in the best light, there are many who do this. So long as the debate or issue is peaceful they will be allowed to continue. It is a waste of moderation time to become so secure that no one is allowed to talk and many boards have died a long slow death without having lively conversation.
