I have heard a lot of horror stories over the years. I do not doubt that they happened or do still happen to this day It seems to me that since I am simply trying to voice my opinion here.
If I were to start a thread for those whom are in favor of this bill, you all would be posting your opinions there too. There are two sides to every thing that happens and I had not seen anyone trying to voice the other side.
I will state this again, as many of you just arn't comprehending what I had said. I believe this bill will lead to racial profiling.!
apretty: You asked me to walk you through this thought process. I am not speaking of oppression here. I agree that oppression exists to this very day.
You are very loudly voicing your opinions here and have made it very clear that you are of Hispanic descent. You brought into this the term “brown skinned people” not me. I am simply asking you, where were you or the Hispanic population voices and protests when the original parts of this bill were signed into law several years ago.
Maybe if there had been the protests and loud voices then we would not be here today as the state divided that we are.
I was born in Flagstaff and raised here. So for a little more than 40 years this has been my home. I have seen many changes in the valley and the state. Some for the good and some for the bad.
I sit here willing to listening to both sides of this debate I have not made a decision as to exactly which side I will take, and am trying to keep an open mind.
I was put on notice by several of my friends that come into this site and others that if I posted my thoughts and feelingshere I would be attacked and that is just what has happened.
To those of you that will participate in the boycotts think about this:
Don't buy that new car you want, why??? All of the airbags in that new car are manufactured right here in Arizona.
If you are in law enforcement or carry a tazer, don't use it, its manufactured right here in Arizona.
Thinking of buying a new computer, make sure it doesn't have an INTEL processor, yes they to are manufactured here.

Dude..
No one is attacking you.....
Are we passionate? yes...
Jesus I get so tired of the fucking my friends said I would get attacked *whine*.. No one is picking on you, like you we state our voice and experiences..
Why people are on this site that are back hand warning folks is beyond me.... Why be here then?
end of my fucking rant..
