Dread thank God young people do not see things through the eyes of their elders or the future would not hold the promise of racial tolerance that it does....you are an old timer....the folks who have summered in Oak Bluffs for generations do not feel the way you do....so I say to you H Rap Dread sit in your rocking chair and sip on your Ting an stroll down memory lane to the days of " Dogs and Hoses " and your grandkids will say "Tell us again Grandad and this time make it reeeeaaaaaal scary " I can also see you swapping stories with those NASCAR hicks

i am a realist, GC. carlos is trying to insinuate that white folks are " integrating" with hispanic whites, while hispanic blacks are on the outside of that frame, either looking in, or looking to american blacks. i am stating a fact. american whites are in no big hurry to associate with any hispanics i know of. instead of delivering me a sunday-go-to -meeting homily, show me facts. you know me, GC, ; Mr Facts and Data. i have no reason to be anti-white, as my paternal grandfather was as white as it can get, having been from Dunfermline, Scotland, with silly family coat of arms and all. but when i read nonsense about hispanics intertwined with white people, it makes me laugh. have you forgotten that i lived in the USA for over 40 years? and still have family there? you think Carlos can tell me anything about the sociology of the country that i have not seen firsthand?

Well, Dreadlocks. I cannot say that whites are rushing to be integrated hispanic whites, but I feel that the cuban white community is somewhat integrating with the White Community. The cuban elites are republicans that seem to be integrating with the white community. Although, I would say they are the exception in latin america, but i feel that the cuban elites do seem to integrate with the white community.

correction, anonymous. cuban americans have more access to juxtaposition with white america, because of their business success. cubans have done very well economically, and, as a result, can afford to buy property in florida and other states which other hispanic groups cannot do. that does not mean that whites are welcoming them with open arms. heck, blacks in miami despise cubans; what makes you think whites love to have them around?

" my paternal grandfather was as white as it can get, having been from Dunfermline, Scotland " ....Dread is that the same guy who was hung for stealing horses......Dread you will be sorry for having worn the kilt and danced the sword dance in your youth...Having ancestors from near Edinburgh also known as "Pride and Poverty "explains everything about your unusual personality

This also applies to affluent Colombians and venezuelans Chilenos etc etc etc.....economy floats all boats no matter the colour.....and they all[LA elites} have had second homes in Miami for generations

being able to buy into an affluent neighborhood which was formerly all white does not signify integration. surely you do not think that there is too much "integration " going on in places like Englewood Cliffs, new jersey, where rappers with money are buying mansions?

who the hell wants to integrate with Rappers no matter if they were green.....now Vernon Jordan and Tiger thats another story ...plus all the stock brokers and investment bankers of colour....Please dread you would not want those gold toothed knuckleheads in your Barrio either

actually, he was hanged for eating horses which he stole. and , GC, the same contempt that causasians feel for rappers, they feel for everyone else who is not like them. cubans and other hispanics might be laboring under the misapprehension that, because of their pigment, the white community cannot wait to embrace them. NOT!. heck, if the italians have Bensonhurst, and the Irish have woodlawn, and the russians have brighton beach, and the armenians have pelham parkway, what makes you believe any of these groups wants any hispanics in their midst? why do you believe that hispanic kids cannot pass through pelham parkway after dark?

Nobodies kids should have to pass there after dark
