Please stop saying hes mexican, because he isnt, americans ask why we hate them everyday and this is the reason, you guys think that every darker skin person is mexican and illegaly here, and btw we also have illegal americans in northern mexico that by the way are retired and dont pay taxes and use our healthcare in the northern states (Baja California, Sonora, Sinaloa,Nuevo Leon, Chihuahua)

Muslims dont understand secularism. Their religion is violent and oppressive toward women. And a high percentage of muslims support the Sharia. Muslims themselves need to take responsibility for their image. The niqab - as she says, is anti feminist. It always amazes me how Islamic women are their own worst oppressors. If they continue to hold onto their 5th century views, yes they will be rightfully oppressed, particular when they begin to ask for special treatment in public life. The fact that the activist fears for her life speaks volumes.

Just because he crossed the border it makes him an easy target for people to judge his English skills. What about Melania Trump? \nPeople tend to be so judgmental. Wish you were in his shoes where the lack of knowledge just makes you learn the hard way. People do things because they do not know better. So be thankful if you do. \nBe a bit more emphatic and think how you could help or get out of the way. \nHe may speak and understand some English, but he may prefer to speak in his native language. However he does the dirty job you do not want to do. Only then you do not say a word. Do you ever ask who is behind the apple you are eating today?

Having worked for Best buy in my experience my bosses made us be that annoying and ask and talk to each customer more than once depending on time in the store if u didn't they cut ur hours the following week and I hated it personally when someone says no need no help I feel like awesome I can go bk to waiting for this shift to end cause I hate my job!

there are more BLACK AFRICAN AMERICANS in the USA , THAN PPL FROM MUSLIM COUNTRY, , but remember MILLIONS OF BLACKS WERE DRUG HERE AGAINST THEIR WILL AND ENSLAVED, SO WHY WOULD YOU ASK OUR RACE TO HELP DEFEND ANY TYPE OF RACE HATE, ARE YOU KIDDING, I REALLY THOUGHT ALL THESE PPL WENT TO CHURCH AND BELIEVED IN GOD. HOW YOU GONNA ASK BLACKS TO HELP THROW OTHER RACES OUT OF THE USA. ANY PERSON IN AN ELECTED OFFICE THAT SAYS OR PROMOTE SUCH AN IDEAL, IS UILTY OF AN ACT OF TREASON AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, CAUSE LOTS OF DIFFERENT RACES HAVE DIED IN WAR FOR THE LEGAL RIGHT TO BE HERE. PERIOD.

Im hispanic with long hair, and skinny.\npeople assume I smoke. People pass me by always ask me for cigarettes.\nI just smile and say no sorry.

The first question I ask a muslim I've just been introduced to (you know, just so I’m clear on the introduction) is,... what did you say your Christian name is?

third installment . i was standing on the corner waiting for the bus going east . girl comes running up to me asking wheres the stop for the south bond bus thats coming . so i say on the corner where the womans standing , she looks around and cant see her and asks again this time more worried about missing her bus. i get it why she cant she the woman ,i think to myself should i say the fat woman because she was fat. but i knew why she couldnt see her , so i said the black woman and boom there she could see her. is that racism could be . she couldnt see her because she saw black first. or maybe thats not racism.

part two so now i have my first black friends and they call me bum blaster and blood clout with that thick accent and laugh and never explain . well time goes by and nigei invites me to his house to hang . so im getting a little drunk and tell a story about going to my first black bar --------------- you said what , all conversation stops . i say i went to a black bar and my buddys girlfriend starts at me about it not being a black bar but a ---- i cant understand her the accent again. so i start my story again , iwas the only white person in the bar and kind of stood out , felt like everone was staring at me . i asked if this is how blacks feel. well everone start freaking and my buddy who i work shoulder to shoulder with every day and eat three meals a day with and ride the bus home with. his girlfriend starts yelling im racist and to get out of her house. is my buddy walks me to the elevator i say to him you know im not racist and he answers i know but what can i do. i get it its always ok to be racist as long as your not white . we worked together as a team salt and pepper as he use to call us for an other year and he came to my house .

growing up in canada, i felt left out in the blk community b/c i am a 5th generation blk cdn on mom's side and 3rd on my dad's - when other black ppl not canadian born met me - i tell them i'm cdn, but i always used to get the question - where are you really from - they were looking for me to say the islands - when i told them my paternal grandma was born in 1901 in canada - that's when the questions stopped. i've been told that b/c i wasn't from the islands, i had no culture in college, but a mbr of the black student society put him in his place i heard he got into a lot of trouble. i was asked what do we eat as in food as canadians what kind of music do we listen to - at our blk canadian weddings, the only carribean song played was hot hot hot by arrow - we played straight up r and b and motown. i hv been rejected by other blk men b/c i'm not west indian enough...it was hurtful. even with 'friends' they made of my cdn heritage but i used to think, why are you making fun of me knowing that my family and ancestors were in canada first - they were 1st generation - i live in the usa now and i'm with an african american man - he has never treated me as if i were different and he loves going w/me to canada. my parents told me it was jealousy on those ppl's parts - one guy i used to be friends with in college, when i went to his house, his mom was from the islands, when she met me - she said, 'you cdn ppl are loud' and that did it for me - i didn't date her son but when he met my parents, they never said any of that crap to him. in the usa, the african americans don't treat differently at all - my ex mom in law thought we were american but decided to live in canada - b/c she was surprised that blacks do live in canada. her other daughter in law's family were from the islands - but she gravitated more to my family and felt comfortable around them more than her family and this ex sis in law would brag about the islands this and that and she would make comments about my looks being skinny and such but it was jealousy - i didn't care much for her b/c she was very insecure. i felt once again, i was a young girl in college again - being around island ppl....i would love to meet drake and ask him did he feel left out and isolated because he wasn't from the islands - he makes me very proud being a blk canadian - his dad is african american and his mom is jewish. i still hv dealt w/racism not much with wht ppl, but with my own ppl - which is quite sad and on top of it-colorism, that also played a part from my family - being called pygmy, chocolate dip, nappy hair - it hurt but these so called relatives, they aren't all that anymore, they had hard lives as children...when ppl see something in you that is special and they don't have, that's when their ugliness shows -

Everyone bashes the USA but the same thing happens everywhere because nations have LAWS. Ask anyone from Mexico and they will say the same if not worse happens at their southern border that happens at the USA border. There is a legal way and illegal way to enter and live in a country. If you choose the illegal way expect the consequences when you are caught. Don’t ask everyone to ignore the laws just for you.

I have to say I'm not quite convinced by the Best Buy part, I've had a couple times that I've gone in to browse and been asked as much as 5 or 6 times within under half an hour if I needed help finding anything. And with absolute certainty I can't be assumed to be anything other than Caucasian.

As a proud atheist, I find all religious costumes to be either degrading, or just plain hilarious. \nTheir minds are poisoned from the time they are born, and that's child abuse. \nWe should be asking why we are allowing so much immigration. The answer - families don't have as many kids. Why? Kids are expensive, and when your giving over half your salary to the government, having no kids may be your best option financially. So the government responds by keeping taxes high, and making up for smaller family sizes by recruiting immigrants from the Philippines, Nigeria, Sudan, etc.. The handful from Syria get all the attention, but they are a small fraction of the total. \nSo either start having more babies, or start preparing for the multicultural mosaic where the liberal values that made this country great will need to be protected, and I would say, promoted.

just watched the national on the cbc and an muslim guest said that canadians are accepting, tolerant, kind, etc --- I ask why are muslims not? they do not seem to tolerate becoming canadian - accepting our customs and when confronted some of them are really agressive (but that's just my experience) ... and then there's MO, a good friend of mine (his name is mohammed but prefers Mo - he says it causes less problems in these times) why are immigrates against integrating into our customs - it seems to me our customs are pretty good. we don't believe gays should be thrown off buildings - we don't believe someone who steals should have a hand chopped off, we do not believe that an atheist should be decapitated. If you have a choice it seems you should choose to integrate. now you'll say my view is simplistic - but we complicate things too much - progess is mans ability to complicate simplicity (someone smart once said this)

I love those who stand up for others to risk there life ,I am a Pakistani lady living in Canada for 47 years ,lucky me on one say Any thing to me when they ask me where I came From ,I say Palistani My Look is confused them ,My skin coller tea colour !

Being a Black Lady in America has not affected me negatively. I believe that is some white women especially don't like me because I walk with my head up. I give off an aura that they cannot stand. After looking at me funny, asking me questions, they stop talking to me. (they did me a favor) Some say, where are you from? Yes I am from JA. Hey! You can't touch this. Black America always talk negatively about one another. I say to some of them, if you guys don't like each other, how do you expect people to like you?

I find it hard to see Islamic belief as a religion. Because you never hear of near death experience! All near death documentation, in both the sciences and secular information. Says that one either goes to hell, or gets to meet a being of light, Jesus . I have searched for years, for this information in my studies. AND IN MY 30YRS OF STUDY HAVE NEVER FOUND ANY, I have asked Moslum friends directly. But they too have never heard of anyone with a different experience then those I've above mentioned. Why is this?

It is unfortunate to see people saying such horrific things about Islam. This religion is something of scholarship and deep understanding. This is not a superficial religion it takes understanding, patients and serious contemplation. when you attempt to speak about Islam on a superficial level that is all you will get out of it. This religion asks more of its believers because the creator sees more within us than we can ever see within ourselves.

I just love how these women are asking no to be judged but they get hatred....hate is evil no matter who does it some of these comments come from Nazis Germany Hitler himself couldn't wrote a better hate speech some are completely dehumanizing I mean dam if you say the reason why you hate them is because of THERE religion beliefs and the hatred it has for other religions what the fuck is your religion teaching you

ok so muslims say they should be able to wear what they want so their women cover up. but then when you ask them about western women they say they should cover up and SHOULD NOT be able to dress the way they do. liberals who think they are being so free and open minded need to open their eyes to the religion they are trying to defend. muslims routinely abuse the freedoms that are afforded to them while living in a democratic society that hypocrisy becomes second nature to them. the women that was interviewed says we get dressed up put on fancy clothes and make up with other women, even though to do that is haram in islam and is only meant to attract men. ignorance and regression will lead to the downfall of every western country. it is simply a fact and somehow it always comes off as fear mongering when it is said, no religion should ever have a right over any society. if there was a religion where it was ok to behead people who dont believe in that religion would it be ok for people to believe it, oh wait ISLAM.

If anyone thinks the Muslim religion is tolerant and it's just ISIS/ISIL or whatever that is causing these issues, just search Farhkunda who was totally innocent. Why are these women being interviewed? They are scared to say anything different, if they don't comply they fear for their lives. Interview the men and ask them what happens if the Muslim women refuse to wear the veil or abandon Islam. Search Farhkunda. Open your eyes.

These women say they choose to wear it... But ask them to take it off and tell their family and walk outside, I promise you their Family will beat them to shit when they get home... there is no choice...

ask those scumbags, what did Mohammed say in quran or it's recordings, he assertively says that if he made up anything in quran, may God kill him by strangling his ayota, which is interpreted as wind pipe, and look again how he died, in the same manner

The thing is you hear things about ISIS or hamas and you try to separate it and say that it only the extremists, when in fact the moderates still support it. when speaking to a muslim friends of mine i asked her if your book says killing is wrong then why is there so much of it in islam? to my dismay she said that as long as they're killing for her religion its ok and that she supports things like the charlie hebdo shootings. She claims to support freedom of speech, but in reality, only things that are not opposed to islam. tried telling her if you ant talk about something freely then it isn't freedom of speech but she couldnt comprehend that. its disappointing to see that even though they are not the ones directly in the terrorist groups, they still support what they do.

For those who believe that Islamic extremist has warped an innocent religion, did you take a second to ask how innocent the religion actually is when its scripture says that all non muslims are infidels and are unworthy to be human.

just ask them what they religion teaches? I don't understand how people can love that religion and follow it! So much brain washing, and I don't care what they say, but what they do is matter!!!! and what they do, what they believe is absolutely against everything we stand for!!! We are all infidels in their eyes, they hate our freedom, and they are trained for our destruction! They are encouraged to lie and deceive us for their purposes! So, don't listen what they are saying, watch what they are doing all over the world! Our president trying to protect us!!!! Praise for Him! Media is a big protocol in those people hands who wants war around the globe

Blacks arent the problem in canada as much as it is in the US. There was no KKK here. The people that do deserve the knowledge is the Aboriginals. The government treated them bad and so did the churches. They are what the Canadian government should be addressing and not so much the blacks as they are just as equal as a white man in Canada now. Jobs for the government 1 year have to hire more minorities then another year females and what not. I cant speak for what it is like in the US but where I live blacks are treated the same as whites. There are some arabs that think they are the gangsters and hate white peopl for ni reason. I asked them why they hates whites so much and they said its because they are pussys. That aint no damn reason. If you disagree please enlighten me with your knowledge. And if you live in the US dont comment saying you know more because i doubt you were even taught a single thing about canada in school. But if you do know something please teach me.

i see the reality and i dont say youre wrong with what you see. but you dont ask yourself why. you only see black and white. its much more complicated. ask them whats their problem! they where born like you. maybe it has something to do with wealth and education? maybe this has been refused to the ppl you see? maybe its even more to it? or are you saying every single muslim is like the picture you described? or is every french guy a good person? divide at impera.

Many people even believed 21 dec 2012 the world will end .... now what you are saying is something like that...when mohd. spoke at that time to gabriel quote anybody in the book seeing or listening to their conversation....now many muslims believe...i ask why do you believe when there is not a single proof or witness to mohd. and gabriels conversation....initially mohd. also told that it was an evil spirit and not gabriel,so how does one believe it was gabriel and not an evil spirit....

Does it say so that he was terrified and he asked allah to forgive him as he did not know he sinned...quote the verse which says like the way you said.secondly mohd.did not know if he sinned, same way mohd. also did not know if the person he met in the cave was gabriel or an evil spirit? and yet you say he was a sinless prophet,where as Jesus the quran says he was sinless...see the proof that Jesus is sinless and quran only says mohd. asked forgiveness...clear distinction that Jesus is superior.

1.The quran came in 640 a.d after the Bible and all the names in the Bible are in the quran with changes to suit one persons will and his doings (like justifying marrying a child 6 years old and marrying his daughter in law)\n2. This shows mohammad sinned as he asked forgiveness for his sins...past present and future sins\n3. The quran says Jesus was faultless where as it says mohammad asked for his past future and present sinsJesus is greater than mohd even in the quran though we dont believe it.

No this is not mohd.....it cannot be as mohd....as i said the quran came in 640 copied the bible verses and changed it to his liking and said he is greater than Jesus, Now how can he be greater the quran only says one thing glorifying Jesus in the quran ..... Jesus is sinless where as mohammad has asked for his forgiveness of his past present and future sins.....read more below

Yes Jesus said that and having said that he says that people obey only the law and do not believe in God, so they are hypocrites and he says that because people give more importance to tradition and law than God....so they are being told this inthe verse....Jesus is God and no where in the Bible he has sinned, in the quran also it says Jesus is faultless where as mohd. quran says asked forgiveness for his past present and future sins..see the quran in which also Jesus is glorified more than mohd
