Notes: A poster at Media Matters For America made this observation — “After destroying the economy, destroying the country, and engaging in the worst kind of racist and classist politics, suddenly we are supposed to believe the Repubschmucks when they say, ‘trust us.‘ They can all go to hell. Why didn’t the Repubschmucks reform immigration when they had control of the WH and Congress?

Because they are all about ethnic cleansing.

That is what is Arizona’s law if for, to begin the purging the nation of all brown-skinned people. Eventually, they will say that descendants of slaves should not be allowed citizenship since they only were anchor babies. Republicanism has turned into an Aryan Nationionalism.

Panel smacks down Senor’s claim that a GOP Congress would be more likely to pass comprehensive immigration reform

Ethic cleansing of Mexicans, and for the record — black and brown lynchings, have happened before. For example, in the 1930s local, state and federal authorities arrested residents of Mexican heritage–citizens and non-citizens alike; confiscated their property, and deported them to Mexico.

During the late 1920s, declining profit margins sparked a worldwide crisis in capitalism known as The Great Depression.

The stock market crash of 1929 paralyzed American industry and produced historically high unemployment rates. Mexican and Mexican American workers, along with African Americas and other minorities, were vulnerable elements in the reserve industrial army and among the hardest hit. The political backlash to the widespread economic hardships of the time, which should have been aimed at the capitalist system of exploitation, fell instead on minority workers and their families. Mexican immigrants, welcomed as laborers during the economic boom of the war years, were scapegoated during the depression and subjected to racist attacks and severe immigration restrictions.

The anti-immigrant hysteria generated during the Great Depression helped defuse the political time bomb of mass unemployment in the U.S. and led directly to the mass deportation of Mexicans. Between 250,000 and 350,000 Mexican workers and their families, many of which included American born children (and therefore American citizens), were deported over the next decade. The Mexican population in the U.S. dropped an estimated 40 percent during the ten-year period. The state of Indiana lost three-fourths of its Mexican population, and another twelve states — Colorado, Illinois, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming — all lost over half.

thinkprogress.org — Report: White vigilante groups blockaded small towns in post-Katrina New Orleans and murdered blacks.
——————————————————————–

Earlier this week, A.C. Thompson of The Nation revealed that after Hurricane Katrina, white vigilante groups patrolled New Orleans, blockaded streets, and shot at least eleven black men. It “was like pheasant season in South Dakota. If it moved, you shot it,” said one vigilante. Color of Change is organizing a campaign to tell Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) and state officials to investigate the shootings, as “Louisiana’s broken law enforcement agencies have refused to investigate these crimes.” Watch Thompson’s video on his report:

Color of Change is also sending messages to Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Attorney General nominee Eric Holder.

Times Online: Heath and Deborah Campbell were furious when their local baker in New Jersey refused to decorate a birthday cake with the name of their baby boy.

But ShopRite, in Holland Township, ignored the parents’ pleas after concluding that ‘Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler‘ was an inappropriate use of icing sugar.

Adolf Hitler Campbell turned 3 this week and celebrated at a party with his younger sisters Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie (sic — apparently in tribute to Heinrich Himmler) and JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell.

His parents insisted that some of the toddler’s best friends were black. Mr Campbell, 35, said that about 12 people attended the birthday party on Sunday, including several children who were of mixed race.

‘If we’re so racist, then why would I have them come into my home?’ he asked.

A spokeswoman for ShopRite said that this was not the bakery department’s first run in with the Campbells — a similar request was denied two years ago when the shop also refused to daub swastikas on baked goods for the family.

‘We reserve the right not to print anything on the cake that we deem to be inappropriate,’ Karen Meleta said. ‘We considered this inappropriate.’

Mrs Campbell, 25, said she phoned in her order last week to the ShopRite, but when she told the bakery department she wanted her son’s name spelled out, she was told to talk to a supervisor, who denied the request.

The angry father, who was wearing a pair of black boots that he claimed were Second World War German artefacts, said: ‘They need to accept a name. A name’s a name. The kid isn’t going to grow up and do what (Hitler) did.’

He said he named his son after the leader of the Third Reich because he liked the name and because ‘no one else in the world would have that name.‘

“Other kids get their cake,” he complained. “I get a hard time. It’s not fair to my children. How can a name be offensive?”
