'Speak English, You're in America,' Woman Tells Latina Shoppers in Rant Caught on Camera

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...-latina-shoppers-rant-n698776?cid=sm_fb_msnbc

Ironically the angry woman didn't know most didn't agree with her, rather wishing she'd leave. Can we deport bigots like this already?

Her tirade is caught on camera.

After the video stopped rolling, the woman continued "to just racially heckle these women, and again, she made specific comments regarding Donald Trump and fixing it, he's going to get this country together again, he's going to make it great again," Finley said Buckner told him.

It's about to be 2017, I'm not sure why people like this are still tolerated.

Unfortunately it's going to get a lot worse now that one of them is President.

I believe the first amendment addresses that.

Just using their own language they've been using against me.

I am free to do that aren't I?

Of course. Keeping going high.

If you want to sound just as silly as they do, even more so considering there's nowhere to deport them to.

You do understand sarcasm don't you or is that a new concept? For me it's angry and bitter sarcasm, for them it's real. You tell me which is worse.

One is worse, but let's not pretend that saying ugly things out of anger and bitterness is a good thing either.

To me I do wish those bigoted people are kicked out of the country for being jack butts. That part is true and is real. The emotion behind it IS real. While rationally knowing it can never happen, sadly. They're saying it with thinking it can since they think everyone or most are here illegally. And yeah as a first generation hispanic immigrant, I do find it highly offensive.

Than that is a sad attitude to have. That is an ugly, vindictive thing to want. Keep going high.

Many of these people I'm gradually losing increasing hope for. While I don't hate them, I do wish they were kicked out for continuously harassing people. Security had to be called in because her rant made nobody feel safe. I'm sorry, but that is just plain wrong to me. I can accept some people saying it but once you make people feel unsafe that security has to come, there's a line here to me.

I'm reminded of the MLK quote:
"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night that's already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

Have the courage to be kind to your enemies. They're just afraid, and angry, and looking for someone to blame. We've all been there at one point or another. We shouldn't punish them for having weaknesses we all possess. We need to show them by example another way. Prove, through our actions, that we aren't a threat to them.

 

[Kyle]

While I aligned with that before, it's getting ever increasingly hard as being a member of the target group for many of these kinds of wall lash outs that are bombarding me on a daily basis now.

 

[MaceB]

wall lash outs?

So we kick her out the country? It's not illegal to be an a**hole. Nor should it be.

 

[Kyle]

Screaming constantly that I and my kind should be deported.

I'd love to kick her out. I know, I know showing hate for hate. But being a target, it becomes increasingly harder to forgive and forget.

 

[MaceB]

It is a true shame that the word "amnesty" has become such a contested issue. This is an example of liberals in congress not doing their job. There should be someone out there who says, "heck yes amnesty!... these people are here now because we didn't enforce the law. The only moral thing is to grant citizenship to those who are here now and reform immigration policy so there are better standards in the future." But nope... amnesty has become this political football where, once again, the right is ahead and in strong control.

Alright, let's take this seriously then; where do we deport this woman to? What's the litmus test for how racist, sexist, homophobic, etc you can be before you get deported?

 

[Donner]

Social media enacts its justice on people like that woman. The video went viral. At the very least, she's likely receiving death threats online. Perhaps she was even fired from her job (if she had one). You can't spew racist **** without being filmed and vilified for it. Obviously, there are issues with that kind of "justice", and we can all debate forever about where to draw the line when it comes to consequences for speech, but it is what it is right now.

 

[MaceB]

Let's just send all the haters to Narnia... you know...just long enough for them to learn a lesson and then to return to their younger selves, only to realize what jerks they were. Yeah... that'll do it. Let's get the wardrobe!

As I said I was being mostly sarcastic although bitter sarcasm. My question is why are you so defensive seemingly about it? Most likely not the case, but it almost feels like you're defending her and saying don't ridicule her or those like her. It was deeply bitter sarcasm from bombardment of those calling for a wall and deporting minorities, especially hispanics, whether they're legal or not.
