I know Liza will be going and the last thing I heard, she was taking a diverse group of bloggers over there. I would agree that it would be helpful to utilize Latino bloggers who understand the complexity of the Latino community to reach out to them. However our community has a nasty habit of continuing the "White-is-right" mentality. By doing we continue to tell each other that if we are given a choice between a White and Latino profession, we are still inferior to Whites regardless if went to the same school they did. I know where Markos stands and where other Hispanics like him stand on this too. People like them are very similar to other minorities who use their elasticities for convenience. I read you blog post and what concerns me about Markos statement is that it works both ways. If the guy and any Latino has never engaged in the community, then why should they be forced down our throats - like they did with Al Gonzales - and accept him as our saviors.

Holland Fri, 11 Jul 2008 16:45:25 +0000 http://xicanopwr.com/?p=532#comment-4401 I think the DNC should have credentialed some Latino blogs to cover the Democratic National Convention, particular as part of that elite 55-member state blog corps. But, as I understand it, there might not be any Latino bloggers there at all. Am I right or wrong on this? What do you think? If white bloggers are needed to reach out to white people, aren't Latino bloggers also needed to reach out to Latino people? Well, you know what Markos Moulitsas said about that: <b> I think the DNC should have credentialed some Latino blogs to cover the Democratic National Convention, particular as part of that elite 55-member state blog corps.

Because Senate Bill 378 went into effect two and a half months before Mr. Horn, who was in absolutely no danger at all, told that dispatcher he was going to go kill those men. And did. In front of the police who had already arrived. SB 378 makes what he did completely legal in this state. Not only that, did you hear him tell the dispatcher he <i>knew</i> he had the right to kill them? He was aware of the legislation and was just waiting for a chance to take advantage of it. http://www.governor.state.tx.us/divisions/press/pressreleases/PressRelease.2007-03-27.0601 How did a grand jury decide it wasn’t premeditated murder?

Right before he heads out the door, he says, "I'm going to kill them." On top of that, both men were shot in the back. How a grand jury decided Horn's actions were not premeditated murder is beyond me. The transcript from the Joe Horn’s call to 911 says it all.

This is really scary. I live in Arizona now and have to say that even after growing up in the deep South and attending a high school that had been segregated until 1986, Arizona is the most blatantly racist place I've ever encountered in my life. And it's getting worse. Being from the South, this sounds frightening familiar. This is really scary.
