The history of racism in this country has been a record of a steady improvement in eliminating this scourge. Over 600,000 Americans died in the Civil War in part to eliminate slavery. Nevertheless, while slavery was definitively abolished after 1865 with the adoption of the 14th amendment, discrimination against people with black skins was alive and well in the former states of the Confederacy. This discrimination was codified in the form of Jim Crow laws. Attempts to abolish these laws through federal legislation were blocked in the Senate by filibusters from the Democrat Senators from the Southern states even though Republican Senators were all in favor for them. Thanks to the Supreme Court in Brown vs. The Board of Education, steady progress was made when the Presidents of both parties weighed in against segregation.
When John Kennedy picked Lyndon Johnson from Texas, who had voted against every civil rights bill before 1960, Johnson was forced to reverse course and suddenly become a champion of civil rights. Even though Barry Goldwater had voted for every civil rights bill before 1964, the 1964 version contained a title that used the infamous interstate commerce clause to force private property owners serving the public to allow people of all races onto their property. Even though Goldwater thought discrimination based on race should be abolished, he could not vote for the bill with this title in it. With that vote and the following presidential race of 1964 of Johnson versus Goldwater, a massive shift in American politics began. The solid Democratic South went Republican and black Americans went from solidly Republican to solid Democrat.
This trade off allowed the Republicans to win most of the presidential elections after 1964 because most of the southern states were suddenly voting Republican in presidential races. It was at this point that the media successfully tagged the Republicans with being racist. In spite of the fact that it was a Republican president who won the Civil War and Republicans who had always championed civil rights and primarily still did other than for the die-hard segregationists in Congress. By 2000, racism against blacks was a big no-no just about everywhere in America. It was clear that the vast majority of white Americans were totally opposed to racism against black Americans.
Still this troubled past of whites versus blacks bothered most whites because they knew that over most of the history of America, the blacks had gotten a raw deal. These whites decided to make clear once and for all that racism was a thing of the past and voted for Barack Obama to become President. They were so determined to prove this that they overlooked that this particular black was sorely lacking in credentials to run the government and that he had some truly alarming past associations with some really unsavory characters. Once this was accomplished, the whites relaxed and waited for a post-racial American utopia to settle in.
Whites were already somewhat annoyed at affirmative action programs that favored blacks over whites but given the legitimate gripes that blacks had over their previous treatment, went along with it as a form of reparations. Now that there was a black president, whites felt that these affirmative action programs would be phased out as no longer necessary. Needless to say they also expected blacks to stop playing the victim role. Alas and alack, what the whites got was the exact opposite. They discovered that they had just elected a black man whose was the most racist president in the last 100 years only now he was clearly prejudiced against whites and had plans to stick it to those gullible whites right from the get go. It was soon apparent that Reverend Jeremiah Wright's anti-white and anti-American sermons had found fertile ground in the mind of one Barack Obama.
He began by selecting an avowed racist as his attorney general and populating the upper echelons of the Justice Department with black apologists whether their skin color was black or not. Thus it was not surprising that this new Justice Department dismissed most of the charges against new black panther party members in the most clear cut voter intimidation case since 1970, only this time black intimidation of whites. From there on it was all downhill. When heavily black populated New Orleans was flooded and the Bush Administration was not johnny on the spot with a massive help effort, all hell broke loose. But when a white populated Nashville was flooded minimal help was provided and nary a peep was heard about that.
Now we have arrived at a point where any criticism of the Obama administration is immediately branded as racist even when blacks are the ones doing the criticism since they are airily dismissed as "Uncle Tom" blacks. It is now totally taboo to use the N word to describe a black, but calling white folks a "cracker" is a-okay. A cracker was originally used to describe a white person who lives in Florida's panhandle. Now it is the equivalent C-word to derogatorily describe a white person. We have now reached a point where we hear some blacks saying they should kill cracker babies and that it is the black people's time to stick it to the whites when thanks to Attorney General Holder they no they will never be prosecuted for hate crimes.
Now we have the NAACP folks trying to brand tea party members as racists which is a case the black kettle calling a pro-black pot pro-white. Of course, in all of this, the mass media has aided and abetted this scenario in the extreme. We believe that black Americans, from the White House on down to the ghettos doing this, do so to their great peril. The Democrats have gone out of their way to declare themselves the champions of the blacks (although in fact only since 1964) and a good part of the backlash they are getting in the polls is caused by their anti-white bias.
Black Americans are only 1 in 8 of America's population and whatever benefits they get for being Americans is due to the white Americans' tolerance. When blacks become racists against whites, they are literally biting the hand that feeds them. When Democrats tolerate such racist behavior on the part of blacks they are asking for a massive repudiation in the November election. According to public opinion polls, that is exactly what is in store for them. We believe the public opinion polls are understating the white backlash because no white person wants to be thought a racist. The NAACP resolution against the tea party might just have been the tipping point that will turn the 2010 election into a repeat of not 1994 but 1938 instead.
Racism Rears its Ugly Head
The Trashing of Arizona
This is the third article in our ongoing series of articles about the rapidly deteriorating situation in Arizona as a result of the abandonment of this state by the federal government. Our first article, A Line Has Been Crossed, detailed how the President of Mexico figuratively trashed Arizona in the United States Congress to the raucous approval of the elected and appointed Democrats present. El Presidente Calderon actually admitted that it was "his" people who composed the army invading Arizona. No doubt his folks invading Arizona are really just a bunch of tourists because they are too thrilled with the fabulous job he is doing running his own third world hell hole to actually want to permanently leave it.
The second article, There is a Difference, detailed how illegal immigration has been a partisan issue all along and Arizona has been bearing the brunt of the Democrats' wrath for daring to try and do what the federal government will not. It also pointed out that Arizona is actually being invaded by a partially armed army from a foreign country. Like all invading armies, it tends to lay waste the territory it invades. General Sherman's march through Georgia is such an example. Laying waste is primarily a historical term but the modern term is to trash a country.
Today we are offering pictorial proof that this invading army is literally trashing Arizona. You need to see what is really happening in Southern Arizona to get a real grasp of what is going on.
H/t to Dr. Sam Nigro for pictures
No doubt you are wondering about the dead silence from the Environmental Protection Agency or the Sierra Club. Oh wait, this is a red state and not a blue state. Liberal Democrat cities like New Orleans count but conservative Republican cities like Nashville do not. If a Republican President is not Johnny on the spot in a place like New Orleans, there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in the fifth column that passes for news media in America. But in the home of that uniquely American country music in a red state, all it gets is a yawn when Obama does not even mention that a terrible disaster has struck that city let alone ever doing anything about it. Oh wait, he is a Socialist Democrat so that is okay.
Oh well, the next strong rain will fill this wash and dump some of this trash into the Santa Rita river and return it back to Mexico from whence it came. No doubt the El Presidente Calderon will file a formal protest with Obama about the state of Arizona dumping its trash in Mexico which will result in a major summit meeting with much posturing and pointing more fingers of blame on hapless Arizona.
Look at these pictures and then tell us beleaguered Arizonans that the term invading army is too strong a term. Over 5,000 backpacks on this one trail does not an army make? In military terms, isn't that about the size of a regiment? But this is just one of many such sites in Southern Arizona. Don't several regiments make up a division? If an heavily armed division of uniformed soldiers invaded the United States wouldn't our military rush to repel the invaders? Okay, only the drug runners and coyotes are armed with assault weapons like AK-47's.
That weapon is not used to hunt deer, just ranchers and deputy sheriffs. Oh, by the way, El Presidente, the AK-47 is a communist weapon and is not manufactured in Arizona so the ending of the assault weapons ban in the United States had diddly squat to do with the influx of such weapons into Mexico. Those AK-47's are being brought into Arizona from Mexico and not the other way around. On the other hand, there are arms manufacturers in Arizona. In fact, Sturm, Ruger & Co has a plant just a few miles from my home so at least we will have something to shoot back with should push come to shove.
So listen up El Presidente and get your own act put together. This is a red state where guns are still legal and not a blue state where only the police and criminals have them. Arizona is an open carry state and now you do not even need a permit to carry a concealed weapon here starting July 28th. You know why the Arizona legislature passed SB1108 repealing the law requiring a permit and Governor Brewer signed it? Know why it takes effect the same day as our new immigration law that you are so upset about? Look in the mirror for a clue.
