    While I believe that minorities of any and all varieties will continue to be discriminated against, I also believe that the Minority of the Moment will cease to be African-Americans and shift more towards the Spanish-Speaking Immigrants who come to the South to find work. This will not stem from a new-found tolerance toward African-Americans; this will derive totally from the fact that these Immigrants are "takin' American jobs away from Americans." Well I ask you... would you rather live in a country where you watch your children starve in front of your eyes and there is always the possibility of some horrible drought, famine, or disease destroying everyone in your town?? Or would you rather live in a country where you actually would have a chance to make something of yourself and protect your family, if only small-minded, pig-headed, uneducated people would just get out of your way?? To me, and I hope to you, the choice is simple.
