There is a monument in Baldwin Park, just East of Los Angeles that is stirring up a bit of controversy. It seems that some of the inscriptions on it have been interpreted as racist. The inscriptions read, “it was better before they came” and “this land was Mexican once, Indian always and is and will be again.” This last inscription has some people saying that the idea of an ambiguous monument is now out the window and that these items are directed against whites. Some people want it removed and there is clamour about freedom of speech. Problem is, many people are upset that it was paid for with tax dollars.
Note to those opposed. That is not an argument that will win. The NEA is funded with tax dollars and they have the Virgin Mother with dung on her passed off as art and freedom of expression.
Evidently, a local radio station (are they sure it wasn’t Newsweek?) worked people up over this and the police came in to prevent a riot. There were protesters yelling “Go home whitey, go back to England.” Has anyone heard much about this? I am willing to bet that if a group of whites were yelling “Go home Mexicans (or blacks, or gays), go back to Mexico (Africa, hedonism)” there would be hell to pay. We would have ABC, NBC, CBS, PMSNBC and all the others showing us how intolerant the whites are of these minorities. We would have the liberal sites that post about Americans standing guard on the border being intolerant claiming that the whites in this country are bad people and caused 9/11 and all the other things that are bad in the world.
Now I don’t really care what is on the monument. I am here and I am home. This go home BS is not going to cut it with me. Perhaps they should have gone through the crowd looking for green cards. Then we could see who had to go home. I agree with the comment by one person who basically said that the inscriptions were racist and that if the people did not like it here they should leave.
Once again, you will not hear a lot about this because the white folks are not protected. Where is Jesse Jackson when there is racial unrest going on? Oh yeah, Jesse only cares about whites when he can get face time at the expense of a starving invalid.
