I’ll keep this short and sweet.
There are White Nationalist factions in the Congress and particularly within the GOP who totally lost their minds when Barack Obama became President.
These mostly Viagra’d out old farts serve less as spokespersons for We The People than they do for defense, oil, health insurance companies, Big Pharma, Big Agriculture, Wall Street, and just about anything regarded as “too big to fail.” They get paid phat in contributions by aiding those deeply rooted corporate thugs, who in turn make Ray-Ray or Jose’s gangbanging look like a bloody nose from a school yard fight.
So who is paying them now to support rewinding the clock to a time when any good ‘ole boy hoodlum masquerading as a cop can stop and question people of color in a car without the slightest probable cause?
No one. These bitches are doing it for free.
Their rationale?
Southern drawl: “Dey just checking to make sure dem occupants are here legally.”
I call bullshit.
It’s a harassment and intimidation bill. Black folks remember when they were (and still are) heavily targeted back those days of racial profiling, and we know that the rebirth of “Operation Wetback” will be used against all non-whites far more than whites will use it with their “own kind”. It’s so ignorant and hate-based that it’s an insult to whites who don’t hate.
Yes, Bill 1070, re-born in John McCain’s turf has been passed in Arizona state lawmakers. This is really a WTF moment.
Congressman Raul Grijalva looked like he wondered if he’d stepped into the Twilight Zone as he talked about the lunacy of this bill. He’s trying to snap those idiots out of the Redneck Zone by advocating the rest of America to boycott his state of Arizona.
Another congressman, Luis Guiterrez, of Illinois, has called for the Governor of Arizona to veto the legislation, and for the President “to intervene if the Arizona governor signs the legislation into passage.”
Count me in, my amigo brothas, and Barack, I fully expect you to jump in on this one.
What the hell is it about the noisy and trouble-making large minority of racist white folks that makes them scared to death they’ll be outnumbered? They obsess over how soon America won’t look like it used to back in the good ‘ole days, you know, the ones after their heroes exterminated damn near all the Native Americans as a form of “land improvement”.
In this bill, they mix legit problems with the cost of having too many illegal aliens with old style Southern racist strategies and laws to keep non-white American citizens oppressed.
They hide between the the Flag and the Cross, but ain’t really ain’t feeling either.
Their idea of patriotism is bombing the eff out of brown countries and killing off as many men and teen boys as possible, and over here, locking up millions unlucky enough to be caught with a joint – something damn near all of these friends of Big Alcohol have tried smoking at least once in their lives.
And God? Only the Christian one counts with them, and His appearance is not even geographically correct. Their idea of Jesus is a European-looking white man; were he conclusively proven to be otherwise, they’d revert back to Paganism in a heartbeat.
I think this is the real reason why so many of them are anti-abortion. It ain’t because they’re “pro-life Christians”. If that was truly was their deal, they wouldn’t be keeping quite so silent on all the Planned Parenthood clinics strategically placed in black neighborhoods.
No, they’re really “pro white lifers”. It’s killing them that they will be even slightly outnumbered in majority population one day, and they’re doing their damnest in the meantime to limit black and Latino births by locking us up in droves.
Can’t make babies if you’re locked up, ya know? Tell me that mass incarceration of non-violent potheads and for minor, victimless crimes ain’t a soft form of genocide, and I’ll tell you you’re a mah’ fuckin’ liar.
Oh, these paranoid fools keep inventing – and creating – enemies to maintain white supremacy. They’ll beat your azz with the Cross and then use the Flag as your body bag.
This bill is also a form of bigot insurgency on the black man who had the audacity to win the White House:
“The Obama administration’s decision to focus on apprehending immigrants involved in trafficking rings and criminal enterprises is a more targeted policy compared with the blanket workplace raids of the Bush era. It also stands in stark contrast with the Arizona bill’s attempt to target anyone and everyone that authorities suspect of being undocumented.”
Did you catch that? Barack’s Administration is targeting real criminals, whereas the good ‘ole boy Bush and Arizona haters like the blanket approach, where they get to round up everyone and anyone of color, anytime they feel like it, you know, like the Nazi Party started out.
All humor aside about of joining the nicer folks in the Tea Party to run out the hardcore haters, we have a better grass roots train to catch. Maybe Martin Luther King’s niece, Dr. Alveda King and rock musician Ted Nugent, who both had a feel good moment yesterday with Glenn Beck as they talked about government and Wall Street corruption, will come aboard this train instead.
We blacks and Latinos – and let’s throw in the Middle East folks who live here too, ’cause you know that Officer Billy Bob in Flagstaff AZ gonna be hitting him upside the head for no reason – need to keep our eyes open for an opportunity to ride together in yet another got-damned fight with these racist bastards who are all too willing to spit out new laws to destroy us.
If we don’t, we may one day find ourselves riding on trains to neo- internment and possibly death camps. They’re already built, manned, and waiting for someone to fill them up. The question is who will be first?
Wow! Coming strong! Preach it sistah!
Hi KIT!! You got the hair on my neck standing on end! “we may one day find ourselves riding on trains to neo-internment and possibly death camps” DAMN!
These people are REALLY trying to destroy people of color!!
When that TRULY sinks in, it’s terrifying! But I like to think that it cant really happen in this day and age!
I’m wondering if it’s time for me to really start paying some attention to this ish? I was just at Max’s house and saying that I’ve been boycotting the media, but it’s time to check out what the hell is truly brewing!
I so hate these racists and hatemongers!
Try British politics, with the elections,individuals like British National Party Leader Nick Griffin (a recently European Parliament Member) and now running for UK Parliament, just 2 Days ago, he said on BBC that he’d like to offer 50 000British pounds to Black and Asians to leave the Country,I couldn’t believe this!
It reminded me of a dream I had when I saw Black people persecuted on the streets of London,scarry!
Because of Politicians like Nick Griffin, or Jean-Marie Lepen of France (French nationalist), the average citizen (white English,White irish,White welsh,White scottish) have started to have some ideas in their heads:”Oh yeah,it’s true,this country is turning into a foreigners land like USA/Canada,Australia), who do they really point their fingers at? Blacks and Asians!
I’ve been observing a rise of media demonising of Black and Asians in the west!
This caused me to start reporting on activities of the Western Governments/Corporations in Middle East and Africa, and surely, there are several stories to be exposed on how the imperialist continue to think they can impose their ways anywhere they wish, and expect us to be quiet?
We were quiet on slavery when the practice was abolished, a slave had to save up for his freedom, while the slave traders in England were compensated 20bn British pounds in 1800,that’s equivalent to almost Trillion of Pounds!We were quiet when few european Countries took our wealth through colonisation,and I can argue that their Children are living on wealth which was stolen from us!
The game of imperialism continues, but with a different shape!
My worry is that not enough of us Africans are united to defeat the enemy!
DK, That’s some bold in-your-face racism, offering blacks and Asians money to move. It’s fake too; I’ll bet if they took up Griffin’s offer, he’d backtrack in a heartbeat. Sounds like one of those desperate statements to rally up a base, not to actually implement a suggestion they would pay for.
And, if if happened, I can’t help but entertain the idea he and his cronies would do a replay of what European nations did to the Marcus Garvey movement in Liberia since it interfered with their “interests”.
Asa, Thank you.
Anna, Rippa is getting ready to post a petition against this law. It is a slipperly slide into an abyss.
Speaking of hair standing on end, mine did a year or so after 9/11, when an older Jewish man said he was seriously concerned about what he saw as a rising Police State that reminded him too much of Hitler’s rise. His point: a lot of us ain’t safe.
The thing is, I’m pro-police and national security, the country would be a bigger mess without either – except when it’s so sloppy in laws and practice that it leaves the back door open for bigots in law enforcement, the courts, or military, as well as criminals, to operate with impunity.
A…..MEN. Posting this on Facebook NOW.
