Ark. Lawmaker Apologizes for E-Mail
By ANDREW DeMILLO, Associated Press Writer

Thursday, November 29, 2007

(11-29) 14:06 PST Little Rock, Ark. (AP) --


An Arkansas legislator apologized Thursday for an e-mail in which he wrote that "we are being outpopulated by the blacks" and "we are being overrun" by illegal immigrants.


But state Sen. Denny Altes insisted the comments in the e-mail he sent earlier this month to former Fort Smith Mayor Bill Vines were not racist.


"I apologize and I am sorry if it hurt anyone's feelings. ... I'm sorry if it offended anyone, but I didn't consider it a racist remark," Altes told The Associated Press Thursday.


Altes, who is white, wrote in the e-mail that he was in favor of returning illegal aliens to their countries, but "we know that is impossible."


"We are where we were with the black folks after the Revolutionary War," Altes wrote. "We can't send them back and the more we (anger them) the worse it will be in the future.... Sure we are being overrun but we are being outpopulated by the blacks also."

5. Why does anyone care what color people are in the future?
"All we need is a voluntary, free-spirited, open-ended program of procreative racial deconstruction. Everybody just gotta keep fuckin' everybody 'til they're all the same color."

I like that. That's from the movie Bulworth.

I ask again: Why does anyone care what color people are in the future?

9. That reminds me of a comedian who had a similar bit.
"We should just mix all the races, all the different races have sex with each other until we're all the same brown colour. Then we can hate people for the person that they are."

14. Almost sounds like Dennis Miller before he worshiped Satan
"Why hate someone for the color of their skin when, if you take the time to get to know them, you can find so many better reasons to hate them?"

Something like that. His arrogance aside, it's still terrible to contemplate such a high IQ devolving into a puke.

6. Who's we, kemosabe?
As the proud grand daughter of two illegal immigrants (well, Grandma was illegal, Grandpa merely lied about his age at Ellis Island), I don't think I'm included in the generic white man's "we".









What? you thought all illegals were Mexican? I'll have you know that my family has been coming to this country illegally from Ireland for several generations now!

10. THE BOIL OF SLAVERY STILL FESTERS: LET US LANCE IT OR CONTINUE TO SUFFER AND SELF DESTRUCT
Cannot say I am surprised. I spent 25 years in America. Twenty as an American citizen and I cannot say I am surprised of this horse haired character. I have never seen so much racism and hate my entire life like I did in liberal New York State. My black daughter who I raised well is now married to a youth of Jewish heritage. This clown is one of the pirates of old living in the flesh. He knows one thing that is true, the boil of slavery is festering and will destroy the European nation. Do not tell me it is your ancestors, because, we are the ancestors. Do not call me racist because I cannot act on any so called racist feelings I may have. I cannot affect the European way of live because I have no power. I cannot kidnap, taser, torture, forcefully displace, or massively rape and dehumanize anyone. This nonsense about Africa and Africans will soon cease. Africa is a rich continent that the Europeans from the PENINSULA have been raping since we invited the Greek crooks in.

EMBRACE YOUR BLACKNESS BECAUSE JAH HAS APPOINTED YOU TO GENETIC SLAVERY. No MELANIN, but turn up the heat 2,000 degrees of blazing fiyah protein. Fiyah protein is nourishment for this evil one.

Wow!!!!!!!!the European illegal immigrants to the Americas never cease to amaze. We Africans/Kemet/Nubia/Egypt built the pyramids in Egypt, USA, North and South America. We were called the Olmec race then. We gave rise to the Aztec and Mayan civilizations.The so called pirate discoverers like the criminal christopher columbus ,barthlomew diaz, Colon and others are genocidal war criminals. The hurricanes that come to destroy America comes up off the shores of Africa. It is the ancestors that his horse haired ancestors killed and threw overboard. Their bones are an atomic weapon. Weak out to the judgment. The truth is, Africans and Africa are rising. We have the wealth and resources. Take flight and weak out because Africans have become militant in the face of centuries of brutal criminality by the European race.

I know how my son in law feels when he walks the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica with me to shopping at the Coronation market. HE IS SCARED TO DEATH AND SHOULD BE. Wouldn't You??? After what you and your ancestors did?


IMAGINE GLOBAL PEACE

OUR CHILDREN AND ANCESTORS DEMAND IT

Africans were in the Americas before the European criminals came here.

Time for Reparations and Repatriations for all who need it. Let me see him cry when he has to pay for kidnapping, rape, torture, dehumanization of a CONTINENT AND HER PEOPLE. We also have the records and will hound and chase you like the Jews did to the Nazis. No place to hide.

LANCE THE BOIL AND DEAL WITH WHO YOUR ANCESTORS WERE AND THE CRIMES THEY COMMITTED.

Love and "Light"

8. Damn!
I am so tired of these RWers saying these stupid things then saying " Gee if I offended anyone..." Of course you offended people and you knew it when you said it, but that lame apology is all you have to do to get by. No one holds them responsible! Not ever. Just saying.

13. Such people never think they're racist...or homophobic...or sexist...or bigoted
Edited on Thu Nov-29-07 06:48 PM by Der Blaue Engel
It's always on the other person for having been wrongly offended by their "honesty." ("Hey, man, I'm just telling it like it is.")

I'm feeling rather discouraged at the moment with the hopelessness of this mindset.
