What an Ass****! At the rate our country is declining he may be the "beaner", as he called them, looking for work one day, just to eat that day. With all the problems we people have just surviving on this planet, there is no room for racism. One day we will all need to stick together, if we are going to make it through what the top feeders have planned for us bottom feeders.

I thought it was pretty funny. Besides if they get hurt while working illegally on this side of the border taking jobs from U.S. citizens, I'm forced to pay for their hospital bill.
Although it could be considered funny to an extent, the sad fact is that the small handful of people that have been making and breaking countries all over the world are the reason these people are jumping borders to find sustanance from other countries. The whole concept is a deliberate, calculated and executed plan that has been going on for centuries, to disrupt, control and manipulate the masses.
While we in the US are more than a little bothered by our jobs, our benefits and so much more being taken away because of people pouring into this country seeking survival, we should really be outraged at what is behind the machine that is driving these events and who is at the controls of this machine. As they say, follow the money trail and there you will find the richest, most uncaring for your fellow man, evil people you will ever want to see.
They look upon us ALL as vermin and we are taking up space on "their" planet. So they manipulate, disrupt, corrupt, destroy us through means that could only have been hatched up by satan himself.
I'm sure if you or anyone is interested, maybe check out google videos for "Iron Mountain Report, Road To Tyranny". It is very eye opening and worth the hour or two to watch it in it's entirety.
It is sad that so many of us are manipulated into looking on our fellow human beings as nothing more than cockroaches, when they who are behind things like this think we are all cockroaches.

This is a completely my point of view. They are taking YOUR money, and doing YOUR job! And while they are working here, someone cannot find the job. So I'd vote to make some kind of "purge" and kick out all these illegal immigrants.

"Purge"? One would think that someone from your part of the world would think twice before using such a word.
This video is sickening. Since when is treating human beings like shit funny? Oh, wait...since it's against non-white non-citizens it's OK, right?
If you want to punish people, then punish the employers who won't hire citizens because they want a fair wage...don't punish the illegals who would put up with anything to make the money they can't in their own country. And while you're at it, punish the US corporations who send their factory jobs to Mexico but then don't hire the poorest people, but hire people based on who they know and who they bribe.
I get that we all have different views about illegal immigration and what to do about it...but when an opinion is coupled with blatant racism and cruelty to those who are different...well then I have to conclude that said opinion isn't worth considering.

I just didn't know how to better say it. English is not my native language. I meant that they should find all illegal imigrants and send them back to their countries.
I agreed with 4 of a kind opinion about illegaly working people, not with video. I agree that this guy is an a$$hole.
Have you ever been thinking about why employes don't hire citizens, who want 'fair wage'? Yes, it's about the money, but also because the employes always know that if noone won't agree with their salary - they could easily find someone, who will work almost 'for food'. If they knew that they should offer fair wage or they won't find any employee - there weren't any problems at all.
I'd suggest you to chose words better. If you are talking about me, so this is very serious accusation, and your post is insulting. I didn't say a word about any race, all I was talking about is illegally working people who are taking your jobs.
P.S. This is my personal opinion: if someone will come to my country to work illegally - I will be more than happy to kick his ass out off the country, not seeing on his or her race and color of the skin. If they think they could work here - they should do it legally.
My my, look what this has started. Everybody just calm down. We all need to keep in mind that the fact is, we are "ALL", illegals in this country as it was stolen in the first place from the original inhabitants, the Native Americans. But the powers that be, meaning the ones with the money and the rule, infiltrated this country as has been done everywhere else on this planet and they will not stop orchestrating the forces that situations such as this are ever growing. The plan is not only to have this country so full of immigrants and illegals, but also to bring down the borders thus ushering the mirrored image of the EU.
Fostering racism, prejudices, hatred and you name is the tools that are used to crush peoples and nations. The sad and shameful part of it is that to many people fall right into the plan without even investigating what is truly behind such things and what is the expceted end result.
They have people so concerned about their jobs, mortgages, bills, medical, groceries, whats on friggin tv, that no one really is paying attention to what is not only being taken away from those of us in the US, but all over the planet.
The real issue is coming down to our very survival as a people, not as a race. But because so many have been conditioned to react a predicted way the plan moves ever forward to where one day you will see people killing each other in the streets like rabid dogs. The push to allow the illegals in is just a part of this festering animosity that is being cultured to it's final stage of exploding from the test tube.
How is this done? Through television for one, ask yourself, why on earth would the "Government" want the entire country on "Digital". Why should the government give a crap about what we watch or even if we watch. Investigate it!
Years of inundating our bodies with flouride, aspertain, monsodium glutimate, pesticides, hormones and on and on. Now we are being forced to jack our nutrition down to "Genetically Modified Foods", thank you Mansanto, evil asshole! Investigate it!!!
Chemtrails, think they're just contrails, think again. Investigate it!!!!
Why is there female hormones in plastics used for drinking water bottles? How else do you castrate a nation. Put female hormones in plastic, when it warms up like when sitting in your car or whatever or during shipping, it leaches into the drinking water. Thus making the male population less agressive and easier to control when the time is right. Why else would there be so many ED pills on the market these days. Because men are consuming female hormones!!!! Investigate it!!!!!
Why are our new parents now forced to have their babies innoculated with so much garbage that contains friggin MERCURY!!!! Autism is now 1-100 since the increase of these innoculations. Investigate it!!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh, people wake up and stop fighting about the "small" stuff, because the big shit is on it's way and unless you take the time to find out for yourselves instead of relying on ABC, CBS, NBC, friggin Benny Hinn, to tell you everything, you will be in a box car one day on your way to one of the hundreds of prison camps in this country and others that are brand new just waiting to be filled, wondering what the hell happened!!!!
God tells us to test the spirits, but people don't know what that means anymore or are to lazy and wait for their media or pastors to guide and inform them, but we all need to seek the answers ourselves and not be so friggin lazy and reliant on the "entertainment" that is being shoved into every single receptive brain on the planet.
The fact is, in our spiritual beings, there is no color of people, there is only good or bad and the forces that are driving any and all events in the country and the world is the real enemy.
When the day comes and we all face our Lord God, how will we answer when he asks how we treated our friend, our brother, our neighbor, whether it be, next door or from across the border. Because what the evil driven forces take from us today, will have no meaning tomorrow, but how we act or deal with things, just as the guy in this video, this will go with us as testiment to who we are or have become.
My appologies for my rant. It's just my heart breaks for all of us, that we have been so blind, that we let it slip right on in our lives and never did anything about it, we just let it happen.

That is fucking sickening...and I don't find it funny in the least.
I guess the Natives in North America (Canada and the US) should have rounded up all our ancestors and had some FUN with them too...you know, thinned out the herd. Then maybe they wouldn't have had THEIR land/country stolen from them.

Slotmonster....
As for the rest of your posting...turn the violent rhetoric down to about an eleven, mmmkay? And no, we certainly don't need your help to do all that ass-kicking you're advocating. We have enough citizen whackjobs screaming about kicking ass and making racist, evil little videos.
I didn't specifically call you racist. I was talking about the video and people who think it's funny to humiliate other human beings. And the video IS racist. Do you see anyone making videos about humiliating illegal immigrants from European countries?
You're entitled to your opinion, but so am I...so keep the shouting to yourself.
That's right, blame the worker. How evil of us to want fair compensation for fair labor. Why, no wonder the sainted companies hire people they can intimidate and pay way below value. What was I thinking?

Something I've never understood, is that there's "Black History Month" in the U.S. and Canada, yet there's only "Native American Day". Why only one day? I concur that the Native Americans have dealt with the greatest loss of any of the North American cultures, but they rarely get mentioned in the media in terms of when people are talking about 'racism'. I suppose it's not "cool and hip" in Hollywood to include them (sarcastic overload).
The problems that I have with the video shown, are that it's in poor taste at trying to deliver a message, and the reaction that's sure to follow it. But you know what, most things in the media now (TV/YouTube/etc) are really in poor taste, although this one is a bit extreme.
The public passionately feels that we need to teach our youth about racism, and all of the wrong doings throughout history. When I grew up, I didn't really think about it being a problem, until I got to about high school. I pretty much always knew that it was wrong to think less of someone just because we aren't the same culture/ethnicity. In fact, most TV programs throughout the '80s up until today, sitcoms for example, delivered the message that racism is wrong. In school, when we were a little bit older, if someone made a racist comment, that person would probably be outcast by everyone. It's politically incorrect to do anything 'racist', and most people I've known over the years, never want to associated with anything termed 'racist'. I think most people in today's society are fearful of being flagged as being a 'racist'.
Another problem was with the idea of focussing on our youth and teaching them about 'racism', which wasn't necessarily the right demographic to be aiming for. For the most part, they got it. They weren't taught to be racist, or to think like racists. Our grandparents/ancestors were the ones who should have been taught that. Having said that, I don't think all our ancestors were racists either. There has always been anglo americans who thought that equal status amongst cultures was a good thing, in fact, many have faught for that balance (even though they don't get the credit they deserve for going against the grain of society).
When a guy like this makes a video, he makes Anglo-Americans look bad, not necessarily just the Latin-Americans in this video. His perspectives do not reflect the way most others feel about other races, he is ignorant, and his feelings about others are just on him. Just being Anglo-American doesn't make someone a racist. There are a lot of cultures that also take shots at white folk, and there are a lot of white folk who apologize for things they didn't do, and most certainly would never do. I've felt guilty for years, about things I've never done, and would never do. My family, and most other families that I know (pretty much everyone that I can think of), understand how bad acting on 'racism' is. Even the older generations, not all of them mind you, but more than people think, have grown to think about how wrong all of that is.
Whenever someone makes a racist comment on YouTube, the knee-jerk reaction is to assume that it's someone who's white. Is that fair? Do all cultures love each other, it's just somehow the white man, the corporate monster, the Ivy Leaguer, who uses everyone to get what he wants, that creates turmoil?
There were a few great quotes that read a while back...
"Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals."
"Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups."
"By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist."
If David Letterman were to go on the air tonight, and state that he is a proud white man, and that he loves all of his white brothers and sisters, we'd have Larry King interviewing him, Jesse Jackson, and the leader of the KKK the following night, after he gets word from the top dog at CBS that he's being replaced by Tracy Morgan (though I think he's quite funny). But somehow, it's perfectly okay for Bryant Gumble to say that the "Lack of Blacks makes the Winter Olympics look like a GOP convention".
George Clooney had some choice words for Charlton Heston (just prior to his passing away), and that made a lot of people excited for some reason. Michael Moore interviewed him in his 2002 documentary/film 'Bowling for Columbine', which made Heston look like the Devil. But... while Heston was the president and spokesman of the NRA for many years, he was someone who strongly believed in people's rights and liberties (not blasting away at other folk like in 'The Omega Man'), and he accompanied Martin Luther King Jr. during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom held in Washington, D.C. in 1963; "long before Hollywood found it fashionable." His words, not mine. Hollywood sure found a way to shoot him in the back.
I'm pointing this out because it's become really fashionable to be a media darling/star, building schools in Africa, and putting on these HUGE concerts to raise money - both great things by the way, make no mistake there - while overlooking that Detroit is in shambles, that the people affected by Hurricane Katrina couldn't get drinking water for 10 days, and that their penthouses in Dubai were built on slave-labor by very poor, tired, and desperate Asian people, who're very lucky to get their $20 at the end of the week. It's cool though, because Bono did his bit... and Obama gets a 'Nobel Peace Prize" for... well... I'm not sure why. Oh right, by bringing the people together...
To wrap this up, if a white guy says something racist, I'm not apologizing for it anymore. He's an idiot, and he's responsible for himself, so it's all on him. If a Korean makes a racist comment to me (and it's been done before), that's just one person's perspective, not everyone that I come in contact with shares his/her views. There's always going to be someone saying something stupid, and it'll be caught on camera, and we'll never make any progress because of it. I firmly believe that the only way to get over racism, is to stop talking about it. Out of mind, out of sight. I know a lot of people can't get past that, but it's like two best friends fighting, not talking for months, and one day a school, they just start talking again because it had grown too uncomfortable ignoring each other each day. Do they bring it up, or do they quietly understand that it's much better being friends, and move forward? The media loves the word 'racism', I don't.

Another well-balanced Steed contribution, although my personal view is that problems tend to be better addressed through disciplined dialogue than silence.
Racism is unfortunately a fact of life and is all around us to one degree or another, sometimes emanating from the most unlikely sources whom you would assume would be more sensitive to its perils.
I use the word 'peril' advisedly, because racism can be one of those hot buttons that have the potential to be exploited by those seeking to drive divisions in nations and achieve political ends, quite apart from its use in a purely personal and offensive manner.
Racism is certainly not a trait particular to one colour or culture in my view.

Thank you Jetset!
I should have said not always making it an issue out of it, rather than altogether stop talking about it. I'm always up for dialog between all parties, but it's very difficult to move forward if people want to keep bringing up the past into every discussion. I'm all for a clean slate, and going on from there, but a number of people carry too much hurt, while others have vested interest in not wanting to let it go. Some of the loudest voices, who protest against racism, in my opinion, don't actually want to take that next step, rather profit (financially or in other ways) from it for as long as they can. I'm disappointed with a lot of Hollywood actually.
It'll be great when people stop using the term 'reverse racism' and keep it as 'racism'. It would be even better if people learn the differences between 'racism', 'prejudice', 'discrimination' and being 'stereotyped'. People shout-out racism, and everyone takes 3 steps back. You can use any swear word in the book against someone, but calling them a 'racist' is the Achilles' Heel to anyone's reputation.
I'd swear, if someone was trying to commit suicide by jumping out of their apartment window, saddened by not accomplishing anything noteworthy with their life, and you called them a racist just before they were about to jump, they'd quickly get off of that ledge, and with sudden purpose, dedicate their life by trying to prove that they aren't a racist. It's a very powerful word.

I'm all for a clean slate, and going on from there, but a number of people carry too much hurt, while others have vested interest in not wanting to let it go. Some of the loudest voices, who protest against racism, in my opinion, don't actually want to take that next step, rather profit (financially or in other ways) from it for as long as they can. I'm disappointed with a lot of Hollywood actually.
It'll be great when people stop using the term 'reverse racism' and keep it as 'racism'. It would be even better if people learn the differences between 'racism', 'prejudice', 'discrimination' and being 'stereotyped'. People shout-out racism, and everyone takes 3 steps back. You can use any swear word in the book against someone, but calling them a 'racist' is the Achilles' Heel to anyone's reputation.
I'd swear, if someone was trying to commit suicide by jumping out of their apartment window, saddened by not accomplishing anything noteworthy with their life, and you called them a racist just before they were about to jump, they'd quickly get off of that ledge, and with sudden purpose, dedicate their life by trying to prove that they aren't a racist. It's a very powerful word.

People in Western culture (specifically in North America moreso than the rest of the 'West') seem to have this inaccurate perception of what's going on in South Africa. It wasn't until I met many South African people, whether it was through my travels in Europe, during my prolonged stay here in South Korea (of all places), or doing my own research with the help of the internet (not always the most reliable source mind you) that I learned a completely different side to how things have changed since the 1994 general election to end apartheid. People beg for change, and once it comes, can turn around and become completely hypocritical.
Some of that is certainly understandable, but cultural genocide isn't exactly 'forward thinking'. To correct the historical balance, I don't see why any ethnicity/culture has to suffer and get screwed over just to make things right. If it's true that masses of people take pleasure in watching others suffer to feel good about themselves, I'd just assume that the worst kind of evil on Earth are Homo sapiens.

Mr. Steed, your quote below is really quite accurate, IMO.
"If it's true that masses of people take pleasure in watching others suffer to feel good about themselves, I'd just assume that the worst kind of evil on Earth are Homo sapiens. Some of that is certainly understandable, but cultural genocide isn't exactly 'forward thinking'. To correct the historical balance, I don't see why any ethnicity/culture has to suffer and get screwed over just to make things right."
I feel absolutely no hesitation stating that, of all the living things on this planet, Homo sapiens are the only things capable of doing evil. There is not a history book across the world that will not prove this "fact". Being able to think belongs to us and our ancestors, not any other living creature.
The exact opposite is also true. Only Homo Sapiens are capable of true kindness, empathy, remorse, love and the ability to use their intelligence for great things.
Now, if we can keep anyone from blowing all living things up in our world, until the bad guys can be rounded up, who knows???????

Just saw this: The only funny part, to me was, given the OP, I knew exactly where fuzzy hair was taking the workers @ :47 into the video when he said, "I'll take all of 'em." Course I was right. Wotta a-hole.
