:woohoo:

1. What did he say? Can you give a little context?

[SammyWinstonJack]

2. Please!

5. See #3.

Chavez has been onto the neoliberal plan to drive down wages, steal resources, etc., for a long time. It looks like Lou GETS IT!

3. The repug was trying to take a cheap shot at Chavez...

and Lou said that Chavez didn't support the immigration bill b/c it would drive down wages for US citizens, including those of hispanic/latino descent.

6. What exactly does that phrase "giving props" mean? Where does it

come from? I'd never heard it until I came across it on this board.

7. Props = Proper respect.

I believe

8. I think it comes from "proper respect/dues" but I'm not sure.

I recall first hearing it from the African-American community. Maybe others can provide more illumination.

9. it is short slang for "proper respect"; the "proper respect" turn of

phrase and concept migrated from the deep south to the la basin and ultimately morphed into "props".
