Fightdirecto -> “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” (6/13/2013 6:10:30 AM)
Racist Basketball Fans PISSED a Mexican-American Boy Dared to Sing Their National Anthem quote: 10 year old Mariachi singer Sebastion de la Cruz was thrust into the national spotlight last year on America’s Got Talent. Tonight, he was once again seen by the nation as he sang the national anthem at Game 3 of the NBA finals in San Antonio where the Spurs took on the Miami Heat. As you can see, patriotic Americans were NONE TOO PLEASED that a Mexican (don’t tell these people he’s Mexican AMERICAN) sang the United States national anthem - a song so beautiful that bald eagles usually cry whenever they hear it but not tonight because a Mexican sang it. Twitter Explodes In Disgusting Show Of Racism Aimed At A 10-Year-Old Who Sang National Anthem quote: A 10-year-old boy son of a Navy sailor, born and raised in Texas, is slimed by bigots who can’t seem to think, spell or write a complete sentence. There are no words that could adequately explain how the Internet has caused me to lose most of my faith in humanity today. On Tuesday night, 10-year-old singing phenomenon, Sebastien de la Cruz, who was featured on America’s Got Talent, sang a stunningly beautiful rendition of the national anthem at the San Antonio Spurs game with a power in his voice well beyond his mere decade of life. And what thanks does he receive for giving such a soulful and moving tribute to our country and our flag? Hate. And more hate. And still, more hate. Twitter exploded with racist rants against the child singer. At ten-years-old, he’s already had to deal with the ignorance and stupidity that runs rampant on the Internet. People who run their mouths with racist, sexist, or otherwise discriminatory rants on the Internet are the lowest kind of coward there is – the kind that has to hide behind a computer or a phone to spout their incredible hate. Thanks to the Public Shaming Tumblr page, we have a compilation of the tweets aimed at De la Cruz. This child was the target of such hate as: quote: “This lil Mexican snuck in the country like 4 hours ago now he singing the anthem” –@A2daO quote: “This kid is Mexican why is he singing the national anthem #yournotamerican #gohome” – HE’S ALREADY HOME. HE LIVES IN SAN ANTONIO. THE SAME SAN ANTONIO WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION IS MEXICAN. quote: “Who dat lil #[mod edit to remove racial epithet] sangin the national anthem at the #Heat game????” –@Tj_Tha_Dj quote: “Can’t believe they had the nerve to have a [mod edit to remove racial epithet] sing the national anthem of AMERICA #smh” –@bdub597 quote: “Is this the American National Anthem or the Mexican Hat Dance? Get this lil kid out of here.” –@A1R_STEVEN quote: “Mexican kid singing the National Anthem now that’s pretty fucked up! #AmericaFirst” –@D_nig_ quote: “miami =cute white girl sings national anthem san Antonio= gets alittle Mexican to sing it .. i thought this was america!!!” –@jacked_doc quote: “FUCK THIS MEXICAN SINGING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM THIS IS BULLSHIT” –@KingBilly_SWAG quote: “Bet u that lil [mod edit to remove racial epithet] hopped the border just to sing the national anthem” –@R_D_M_15 quote: “Who this Mexican jit singin my national anthem at the spurs game” –@bigbenlf4l And of course: quote: “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” –@MCyrus2 (Of course, all spelling and terrible grammar is in context because someone so ignorant as to post shit like this on the Internet often can’t spell or be bothered to learn proper English themselves…) All of this hate for one little kid who just wanted to show love to his hometown team by singing the national anthem. YEAH, HIS HOMETOWN TEAM. DE LA CRUZ WAS BORN AND IS BEING RAISED IN SAN ANTONIO, THE SON OF A NAVY SAILOR. In a television interview, Sebastien responded to the racists, with dignity and poise well beyond his years, saying: “PEOPLE DON’T KNOW, THEY JUST ASSUME THAT I’M JUST MEXICAN. BUT I’M NOT FROM MEXICO, I’M FROM SAN ANTONIO, BORN AND RAISED; A TRUE SPURS FAN.” This child is a wonderful example of how to take the haters with grace. I am in awe. Unfortunately, I’m positive that his comments will only lead to people (and I use the term loosely) asking for his birth certificate, as is apparently standard operating procedure when dealing with anyone whose skin color differs from theirs. Here’s the video: 10 Year Old Sebastien De La Cruz Sings National Anthem

When I heard this- I thought it was about- him singing the wrong anthem. I was at a loss of words- to my reporter friend who is Hispanic.

Well this is very sad. And this is why many of us constantly criticize the right-wing view of America (as strictly a white Christian country). It was NEVER that. Right wingers are racist. I've always felt that, and when I see things like this it, sadly, confirms it. There is a reason a majority of white men and women vote Republican. They want to return the country to a fictionalized past that never occurred. It would be funny if it were not so demented.

quote: Right wingers are racist. Some are and some are not. Just like some left wingers are racist and some aren't. I think it is so sad that you can't seem to grasp that concept and instead of always trying to paint the right as evil actually discussed the problem of racism.

You must have missed all of those non-white folks who were calling that kid [mod edit to remove racial epithets], illegal and the like. There were just as many non-causacian idiots doing it as there were caucasian idiots, but I guess people will always see just what they want to see.

FR, Couple reminders: - Please do not use racial slurs, even in the context of another website quoting another website. - It is ok to attack the post, but not the poster. Thanks!

dcnovice -> RE: “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” (6/13/2013 2:43:24 PM)
FR It sounds like Sebastien De La Cruz is far more mature than some of his critics. Cool kid; great voice. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/sebastien-la-cruz-brushes-off-racism-185037234.html?vp=1

pahunkboy -> RE: “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” (6/13/2013 4:03:37 PM)
update- he has been asked to come back

tazzygirl -> RE: “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” (6/13/2013 4:06:10 PM)
8 pm ABC. I will be sure to watch. Thank you, pahunk [:D]

slvemike4u -> RE: “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” (6/15/2013 10:50:19 AM)
Yeah,when I saw that I meant to come back here and remark on that.....I'm a little late in doing so ,but I still want to give props to the San Antonio Spurs for having the inspiration to poke the racists in the eye by asking this kid back What the hell,there's another game Sunday night,let America hear this kid sing it again [:)]

DarkSteven -> RE: “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” (6/15/2013 11:30:00 AM)
That's beyond weird. I assume that J Lo could have sung it with no issues. Maybe it was the mariachi outfit?

Moonhead -> RE: “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” (6/15/2013 12:33:41 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: pahunkboy update- he has been asked to come back To Mexico, where he belongs? [:D]

slvemike4u -> RE: “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” (6/15/2013 3:10:23 PM)
Not to put too fine a point on things ,but wouldn't the typical racist stance be one where they ask that he "go back" as opposed to "come back" ? Just asking [:)]

tazzygirl -> RE: “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” (6/15/2013 3:12:11 PM)
Dont know if anyone else watched, but the kid did a great job. [:D]

slvemike4u -> RE: “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” (6/15/2013 3:14:03 PM)
He certainly did.....as I said,let the kid sing it again [:)] Fuck the small minded racists bastards

cordeliasub -> RE: “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” (6/15/2013 3:20:31 PM)
What a shame...here is a kid who actually KNOWS the national anthem (you'd be amazed how many kids don't) and is talented and brave enough to sing it in front of all those people....a song of pride. And other Americans' response is to be ugly to a CHILD just because he doesn't look like a caucasian of European descent? Shame on those narrow minded adults. I hope they feel like crap eventually.

May I point out that according to some, every white, african american, chinese, japanese and every other _____ american, are illegal immigrants...

slvemike4u -> RE: “Who let this illegal alien sing our national anthem?” (6/15/2013 3:25:09 PM)
You can point it out....but I think the irony is lost on the target audience
