A SPIRIT THAT MOVES AMONG OUR PEOPLE and means to do great harm to many of us cloaks itself in many shapes. An extreme aversion to what is perceived as cultural shifts in the USA hides behind ideas of patriotism or English-fetish and manifests as cruelty.
NOBODY WAS IN DOUBT, and that’s the kind of town it is. A town where even the police collude to hide the murder of Mexicans, because it might besmirch the reputations of high school football stars if people knew they were cold blooded murderers. But truth has a way of prying open even the tightest of locked doors.
VETERAN’S DAY. It means many things to many people, and all that can shift in a minute depending on which side of the sand you are on. But the quality in a human that causes them to sacrifice for other humans is an enduring, memorable, and crucial one.
Remembering Marcelo Lucero, killed in Patchogue not long ago. For being a “Beaner.”
YOU CAN TELL THE DINOSAURS of our culture. They are the ones who continue to try and act out decrepit cultural values the rest of us banished long ago. Joe Arpaio is one.
PEOPLE LIKE LOU DOBBS and William Gheen only care about violent environments when they suffer. Clearly, immigrants and Latinos getting killed or hurt matters none to them.
I’M TRYING TO IMAGINE what the GOP strategy is anymore when it comes to our nation of many peoples….
Let’s visit CNN, where talking about the “diverse experiences and challenging issues facing Latinos” today is about everything Latino except the very most pressing issues, such as the climate of hate that is giving white supremacists a wink and a nod as they bring violence upon us.
SOON, CNN WILL BE BROADCASTING their Latino in America special, as if they don’t contribute to the animosity and eventual murder that finds its way to our communities through the furrowed mind and curling lips of well-established Racist and hatemonger Lou Dobbs.
THE REPUBLICANS USE THEIR RADICAL BASE for fuel. The Democrats marginalize their radical base. The GOP operates on philosophies that can allow for greed and harm to the overall social body. The Democratic party has a much more ideal image…but do they believe in it themselves?
THE CULTURAL DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE NATION ARE CHANGING. Black President, Hispanic Supreme Court Justices, Black Attorney Generals, and lest we forget, Kumar in the White House. This is throwing some people off-stride and just a bit out of their minds.
THE WHITE HOUSE understands the value of the press conference and the press release and the public statement. Many positive things have been said about what will be done on immigration legislation. What is getting less notice are some of the actual moves being made in realtime—like the expansion of the disastrous 287(g) program.
ON MY WAY TO THE STORE TODAY, I tried to kill a small bird. Don’t hate! The GOP will set you straight. But let me start at the beginning because the end is tragic. O, If only I possessed the ability to base my feelings on an understanding of the world, instead of being a human zero-sum kneejerk reaction…like Jeff Sessions (R) of Alabama.
THEY BESEECH THE WISE LATINA TO SOOTHE THEIR TREMBLING AND WOUNDED EGOS. Like petulant babies they repeatedly, almost to the point of absurdity, demand she confess her irrational temperament. And throughout it all cannot see the irony.
SO YESTERDAY AND TODAY have been the SCOTUS hearings on Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court. I have no doubt that she’ll shatter the small stereotype some of these ailing senators like Scat-mouth Sessions hold in their brittle minds, and it may hurt. I also have no doubt she will rock the process in general, and we shall see her on the Supreme Court before long.
House of Nezua
the XOLAGRAFIK theater!
