    no hate - just truth. If I felt Hate then I would resort to using vulgar language much like you resort too when your intellect fails you.

    it suits me. don't we all assume just about everything when it comes to message boards and the internet. It suits me based on previous comments you have made in other forums. One can't be as stupid as you are and believe in Diety can they ?
    I love it when you Christians act like assholes. It just reveals how hypocritical you are as individuals.

    again I am not complaining UNCF Peabody - I am pointing out truths.
    The truth is that if your performance in undergrad was worth a , you might have received a few scholarships. Quit blaming your mediocre life on others.

    You calling yourself a conservative is hypocritical and you calling yourself a Christian is hypocritical.

    Right, you didn't get any scholarships, but it was only because the system is rigged against the white man.

    And you criticize others for playing the role of the victim?

    I havent blasted anyone - the UNCF serves a purpose - I think it is funny that there is no UCCF and if there were one, it would be labeled a racist organization.

    I don't believe that criticizing preferential treatment on the basis of race cons utes a blasphemy, be it UNCF, legacy admissions, or whatever.

    I believe in God, I just can't stand his fan clubs. And neither did Christ, by the by, or was it some other son of God I remember tossing tables and throwing a hissy fit because people were making money off his father?

    Indeed. Which is why trying to find hypocrisy among Christians is pointless. The faith is about man not being infalliable and needing Christ. I guess it's a fun diversion though.

    I didn't say it did.

    However, slamming an organization that provides money for the education of needy minorities, solely because they provide money for education of needy minorities, doesn't seem very Christ-like.

    If the criticism is based on the race factor, that's open to debate.

    Being a Christian is just someone who admits they are flawed and accepts the forgiveness of Jesus, so I don't see Implacable's hypocrisy. Should a Christian do his best to be an example to the world, of course, but no one is perfect.

    As far as Cuban's are concerned, Castro let in 150k of his criminals into the states. Yes, many educated cubans immigrated to this country, but I don't see how that helps my cousin who doesn't speak a lick of English and is now a Janitor when she was a Pediatrician in Cuba. Her license does not transfer. However, I'm willing to bet she'll live the American Dream because she is going to work her butt off.


    There's hope for everyone no matter who you are and what your background. There are just a lot of people who don't get what it takes, and they don't want to get it either. They are happy living there lives off the government, and a lot of people in power have a vested interest in keeping them that way.

    So being a Christian also gives you license to be an asshole because it proves that you really do need Christ?

    No wonder your numbers are growing!

    What makes you a Christian then? Merely claiming that you are a Christian? You don't have to adhere to any teachings or anything? Is this like being a Compassionate Conservative?

    WTF? Someone stated that Cubans came over poor and are now the wealthiest Hispanic group. My point was that they came over educated and with money. How does your story about your janitor cousin fit in this dialogue?

    You're obviously not open to conversation so I'm not going to engage you at least for today. Some of what you say has merit but I don't want to waste any more breath on you today.

    There was a good mix of Rich and Poor, note the 150k criminals that came over. BTW, what's your source that they came with money because I don't know many that did and I know half of Miami.

    My sources are the many references to this fact I have heard throughout my life, but if you need something to read --

    World Book

    History of Hispanic American immigration

    The Hispanic presence in what is now the United States actually began before the country existed. Spanish explorers established colonies in what would become the Southeast and Southwest regions of the United States.

    Cuban immigration

    Cuban immigration to the United States picked up sharply during the late 1950's, as a result of increasing political turmoil in Cuba. Until the mid-1950's, only a few thousand Cubans came to the United States each year. But during the late 1950's and early 1960's, the number of Cuban immigrants increased dramatically. In 1959, Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro came to power. He announced the restructuring of Cuban society. Many middle- and upper-class Cubans found Castro's plans threatening to their way of life. Between 1959 and late 1962, about 200,000 anti-Castro Cubans immigrated to the United States.

    In October 1962, commercial air flights between Cuba and the United States were suspended. Nonetheless, about 50,000 Cubans entered the United States between late 1962 and 1965. Many of these people sailed secretly from Cuba in small boats, some of which were apprehended by the Cuban navy before they reached the United States. In 1965, the United States and Cuban governments agreed to set up an airlift between Cuba and Miami. The airlift brought about 250,000 Cubans into the United States between 1966 and 1973.

    Until 1986, the United States admitted most Cuban immigrants who claimed to be seeking political asylum. Many of the first Cubans to flee in the early 1960's were from wealthy families and were well educated. The U.S. government granted asylum to these people and offered federal help to qualified applicants in finding homes and in making job contacts. Most later Cuban immigrants were relatives of the first group or were poor people looking for work.
