The New (Old) Language of Anti-Mexican Racism

Where does this language come from? It’s developed over centuries of real racial oppression, including slavery and Jim Crow, by whites that wanted to explain the social order in ways that rationalize the fact that black Americans were consistently at the very bottom of society. Now, a similar strategy is being used against Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and other Latinos.

This white racist frame adapts to new groups by re-imposing old racist imagery and stereotypes, with some tweaking.

The authors of this piece are absolutely correct, same old bigoted language used against a different group. There is no way the Tea Baggers can defend this!

Your sources are not credible and I saw absolutely no proof or any pertinent example of what you speak to.

Are you speaking to me or to the author of the piece? Or do you know the difference?

You are a reverse racist attacking predominantly white middle Americans in an effort to secure a voting block for Dems.

Can you prove this? If not, you're committing slander. And if you can't prove that I'm any of those things then go some place and sit down because you're not making sense. And your use of predominantly white middle Americans proves that you, indeed, are the racist.

Arizona has a huge problem which the Federal Government will not do anything about. In your liberal mind you think you can use the race card to stir up a group of people who, by definition, are not citizens of the US and have no rights here. To ignore all of the problems resulting from "Illegal Imigration" is stupid and very sinister if you do so for political gain.

Well this just goes to show how you lack reading with comprehension because in an earlier post I said it's about profiling and not about people being in this country illegally. Your use of predominantly white middle Americans proves, again, that you, indeed are the racist.

I believe that is your goal and I understand why you believe the things you do.

T is for T-Time, you don't know what I believe. Unless, of course, you're clairvoyant or telepathic, and we know you're neither because it takes great will power and control to be either and from your comments you have neither the will power or control.

Too bad that you hate your own country so much that you are trying to undermine it in an effort to "Fundamentally Change America".

I hate my country why? Because I don't believe as you do? Because I don't believe that innocent people should be harmed or used as a means to an end? Because I possess common sense? Because I believe in the U.S. Constitution? Because I don't believe in making up laws to cause harm?

No T is for T-Time, it is you who hate the United States of America! It is you who hate being an American. It is you who hate Americans. It is you who hate the U.S. Constitution. It is you and people like you who are doing everything in your will power to undermine the U.S. Constitution in an effort to "Fundamentally Change America back to the way it was when Native Americanswere placed in internment camps called reservations and striped of their culture, their language, and their children stolen from them to make them un-Indian; when Japanese Americans were placed in internment camps that were poorly-constructed barracks surrounded by barbed wire, sentry posts and armed guards because parents or ancestors were from Japan; and Black Americans were slaves. It is you who believes it's all right to make up laws that will cause harm to American citizens.

Earlier today I watched an interview of Amy Kremer, Director of Tea Party Express, and she said people like you, people who carry hate signs, people who are racist, etc., are not members of the Tea Party Express because The Tea Party Express is not about social issues.

Amy Kremer said the Tea Party Express is only about fiscal issues.

1) fiscal responsibility

2) limited government

3) free market

She also stated that the Tea Party Express is not an arm of the republican party.

Sarah Palin is not their leader because the Tea Party Express has no leader.

On the program she denounced you and people like you.

T is for T-Time, you want to return to the time when no one was held accountable when non-whites and poor whites who were referred to as poor white trash were treated like defenseless animals. But I guess being a Teabagger, what can one expect!

You and TinFoil Annie want to make this a black and white issue when it's not. Well it just goes to show how easy it is to pull the blinders over the eyes of those who don't have the ability to see beyond their own pathetic needs because they're follow any agenda as long as it coincides with their own whether it's right or wrong.

Your calling me names will not win you any points, in fact, it makes you appear impotent.

3.1 TinFoil Annie, your comment has nothing to do with the topic. Why are you trying to make this a black and white issue. Please take your views to a seed that parellel your thoughts.
