The United States is a divided country. On one side you have Donald Trump supporters and on the other you have those who opposed him. Politics always divide people.

One of the problems with dealing with issues such as racial topics or police problems is that many people have a problem with leaving their comfort zones of all appears well. Tackling social problems means having to look inward and among our friends and look at things from a critical thinking point of view. It… Read More Time To Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
America was built on the backs of minorities and not on White exceptionalism. The history books and the entertainment industry have created the illusion of a White America. Davy Crockett, Sam Houston, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison are among the faces that most Americans recognize because that has been the White Americans intent. Very… Read More America Was Built On The Backs of Minorities
The American 2020 riots seem to be centralized on the inequality that Black Americans feel each day. In the previous posts we looked at slavery as the reason that America became the economic powerhouse it is today. It is also the American lie that is driving today’s unrest. But many Americans refuse to understand the… Read More Immigration And The Riots
The underlining driving force of the American riots is the lie that slavery was not central to the American experience. Yet, America’s prowess is related to slavery although many Americans like to pretend that slavery is not central to America, or nothing more than a foot note in history. But America would not be the… Read More Racism and the American Lie
The pandemic news has been overshadowed by the national riots started by the murder of George Floyd and energized by the inequality that underlines American lives.

A few days before Christmas, a woman – which does not deserve to be named – ran over a 14-year-old girl because she “was Mexican”. But the woman wasn’t done. She hit another 12-year old boy the same day. One would think she was done with the mayhem. But no, on the same day she… Read More Killing Mexicans
Gun control is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. There are many homicides committed by gun toting thugs every day. These are criminal acts. What happened in El Paso is a criminal act but also something much worse, it was a terrorist act designed to instill fear in the Mexican/Hispanic community. Gun control… Read More Stop Making El Paso About Gun Control
The latest Donald Trump controversy fully exposes an ugly truth about some Americans. Accepting that Trump’s approval ratings and polling data shows that somewhere between 20% to 48% of the U.S. population believes that the United States is a country only for them. How many of the 20-40 percent is up for debate, but the… Read More Americans And Others
For Donald Trump the immigration issue is not about saving U.S. jobs or keeping the country safe. Trump tells the voters that he is not a racist. Trump tells the American people that the border is in crisis. Trump tells the world that because Congress won’t do its job it is up to him to… Read More For Trump It Is About Skin Color
Monday night’s Donald Trump visit reinforced something for me that I have known for some time now, but it has been hard for me to prove to people. El Paso is anti-Mexican and many times anti-immigrant. I know what many of you are thinking, but El Paso is 80% Hispanic, how can it be anti-Mexican.… Read More El Paso Is Anti-Mexican
There is a racist undercurrent in American politics that has me dumbfounded because it displays the inept ignorance of some American voters. Put the pitchforks away and read on because this is an important point and you’ll likely agree with me at the end. Racism is often confused or misused in politics. Disagree with someone… Read More Beto and Name Discrimination
Racism is skin-color based. Although Hispanics tend to be darker-skinned, Latinos belong to the “white,” or Caucasoid “race”. I use “race” in quotes because there is much controversy as to how many human “races” there are. I was taught that there were three “races” and that evolved into five “races” the further I went in… Read More The Language of Hate
On Monday, March 19, 2018, on his Fox News segment, Tucker Carlson exposed the underlining driving force demonizing immigrants, especially Mexicans. It may seem that the rising vocal hatred of immigrants is about Mexicans, it is actually about Latinos/Hispanics staking their claim to American politics. Tucker Carlson does not like immigrants, he has stated so,… Read More Tucker Carlson Exposes Immigrant Debate is About A War Against American Hispanics
Let’s make something crystal clear about Donald Trump’s pardon of Joe Arpaio, it is now open season against Hispanics, especially Mexicans, across the country. Many Trump supporters, especially frequent reader and commenter “Thomas” are going to argue that Donald Trump had every right to pardon Joe Arpaio. He did. But the pardon sends a clear… Read More Trump Opens Season Against Hispanics
Charlottesville represents a national problem that Donald Trump exasperated for himself. The issue that many in the United States minimize or outright ignore is the issue of slavery in the country. Trump’s arguments for and against the alt-right proves this point. The alt-right are labelled racists and many may be so, but many are also… Read More Charlottesville Proves Issue of Slavery Remains Unresolved
My post on Ann Coulter’s comments about Mexican culture resulted in a firestorm of comments on my blog’s Facebook page. I expected that, because her words express such a hatred for Mexicans that they expose her racism. As I looked at the comments, I realized that there is some debate about how to define racism.… Read More The Face of Racism in America Today
To say that I am disgusted does not even begin to express the utter outrage I feel inside of me as I listen to Ann Coulter’s diatribe against Mexicans on the Jorge Ramos Fusion show on May 26. (Two-minute video at the end of this post) As a political blogger, I am used to all… Read More Ann Coulter: Racism At Its Most Extreme
As expected, yesterday’s city council debate over the Lincoln Center was contentious and brought out the ongoing debate about the gentrification of the city and the undercurrent of racism that some perceive to exist. Even Jose Rodriguez alluded to the racism undercurrent while debating with Cortney Niland the merits of Eddie Holguin’s motion. The meeting… Read More The Lincoln Center City Council Debate
