i see the struggle continues in all parts of this country….we here in tulare county, in the “so-called” great central valley, in califaztlan we too must deal with a racist sheriff who not too long ago had a non-profit charity cancel a performance by a rapper known as e-40 because in his opinion this is a “red-neck community”. this was right before an election and he still won….let’s gather fuerzas because racism is alive and kicking.

Your right about that, I probably would do the same thing if I was a shock jock too. While we see has harm, they see bad publicity as good publicity. I would hope the folks in Pima County do stand up to Gestapo Joe, just as the folks here in Harris County would do the same thing with our racist county sheriff.

I was asked by a member of my group to post the response from Derechos Hermanos, but declined. This “Jon Justice” is pimping this incident for ratings, nothing more. He’ll be a “super-patriot” until he’s sacked, then he’ll move on to another persona.

Instead, I posted Isabel Garcia’s response.

And I hope Pima County stands up to Gestapo Joe and his flying monkies.

i know what you mean bro. it’s one thing to chase pendejos out here who aid the problem, but it’s another to speak to those who have been hurt by the problem. i felt like that after an interview i held with one woman who was part of the raids…jeez now i can’t remember which raids they were. they all end up blending together. it was a phone interview but my point is i know where you’re coming from. its why i turn away from the issue sometimes. its not because i have the “luxury,” but for me its because i short circuit and cant even think about whats happening to people every day without getting furious or feeling i’m about to implode.

hang in there ‘mano. it’s a long fight.

[...] The Politics of Humanity: Who Let This Vato Go On Air at Para Justicia y Libertad. In reference to the story of Isabel Garcia this article tells us of frustration and the desiccation of tears which occurs when one’s seen so much sadness. No matter how carefully orchestrated, deportation dehumanizes people who come to this country to work hard to produce the many luxuries to which many like Jon Justice and Sheriff Joe Arpaio have grown accustomed – clean offices and classrooms, the food that is prepared for them at the restaurants they frequent, the food that is ready to buy at their local grocery stores, the homes they live in, and keeping this nation safe by serving the military.
