News With Nezua | May Day in Salem
LA MARCHA on May Day in Salem, Oregon, where we showed up and made joyous noise to call for the repeal of SB 1070, protest racial profiling, and show support for immigration reform.
News With Nezua vids first appear Monday mornings at La Frontera Times. Wednesdays they show up at UMX, as well as in a dim setting at The XOLAGRAFIK Theater. For those who desire closed captioning or can’t view this player, check back later for YouTube links.

Springtucky, the place where:
• citizens blame the metropolitan daily newspaper for reporting whistle-blower’s revelation of long-term racist e-mailing on the City network, thus making the offenders “scared to death”
• resident diversity advocate reminds concerned citizen from neighboring city that locals prefer “supercilious” nonresidents stay out of their business
• mayor, now running for county commissioner, says that these abuses “give the impression” that the city is not a welcoming place and that this is the time for the people to trust their leaders
• City community relations person touts that half of the callers say firing the offenders “won’t solve the problem”
• editorial in metropolitan daily newspaper presumes such abuse is common in many other local institutions
• shielding from view any disciplinary process is public employee union advocacy for rank-and-file offenders and confidentiality of any treatment of offending manager
• liberal in supposedly progressive neighboring city says that wanting the offenders fired is analogous with, ironically, vindictiveness against young criminals from the underclass
• acquaintance says that being “too close” to the offenses, i.e., having a Latina wife, is the reason for being offended by the on-going employment of the abusers
• offenders in a city government job receive what would be special treatment in a private-sector job, where threat to organizational integrity often results in immediate termination
• recurrent unsavoriness continues to prevent many people from feeling safe or wanting to work, live, or contribute to the quality of life there, or even near there.

Without being aware of the specific instances, though, the list reads a bit vaguely and is somewhat hard to follow as a result. Feel free to drop in links if you have any so that readers can associate the reported facts with your commentary. Thanks for dropping by.
