In the 1960s, many people said that African Americans were lazy, didn’t want to work and liked living in the shacks that government welfare checks afforded them.
One heard of Black women who had baby after baby after baby for the sole purpose of reaching more deeply into the pocket of the government and pulling out more support money. It didn’t matter that they lived in horrific conditions, they didn’t care. They were merely lazy and wanted that free government hand out.
In my article “Shock Over Richards’s Rant is Curious”, I expose how large Fortune 500 global corporations were still reluctant to hire people other than Caucasian males as late as the 1980s. African Americans were no more lazy or unwilling to work than anyone else. As you can see if you read the link, African Americans were not being hired if it was at all possible to avoid hiring them.
Again, in 2007, Americans blame the wrong people based upon prejudicial stereotyping. There are many Americans who want Mexicans and Central and South Americans gathered up and punished or, at the very least, deported back to where ever it is they came from. I’ve heard them called “gibbering idiots” by one man who struggles with the English language. To this man, speaking Spanish is “gibbering” and the fact the he can’t understand Spanish makes those who speak it “idiots”.
On the other hand, if one shops at Home Depot or at Lowe’s, one notices that each aisle is identified by a sign placed at the beginning of the aisle.
For instance, in front of the aisle where the bath supplies are displayed, there’s a sign which reads “Bath Supplies”. There’s a slash after the words “Bath Supplies” and the word “Baños” sets beside the words “Bath Supplies”. In the aisle which holds “Kitchen Supplies”, the word “Cocina” sits beside the words “Kitchen Supplies” on the identification sign.
On the store doors, “Entrada” is near the word “Entrance” and “Salida” is near the word “Exit”.
In California, for sure, it appears that some corporations want to keep the “idiots gibbering”. Or do the people who would refer to an entire ethnic group in such a despicable manner think that the Brown people who risk their lives travelling through the desert are the people who place all of the bilingual signs in places of business?
California is not the only state where this is found and Lowe’s and Home Depot are not the only retailers whose signs are bilingual.
Another corporation, Bank of America, now offers credit cards to illegal aliens. Do the people who so hate the Brown people who travel through the desert believe that they cut a deal with Bank Of America so that they can fall into debt while working for minimum wage, if that?
Obviously, there are Americans who aren’t so anxious to get those whose skin is Brown and who speak Spanish back to their native countries. Obviously, there are Americans who encourage the Brown people to come to work in The FUSA and who encourage them to continue to speak Spanish while removing the incentive for them to learn English.
Ironically enough, the people who want the law to “get tough” with the “lawbreakers” and those who are encouraging the “lawbreakers” to come and work in The FUSA and to continue to speak Spanish follow the same political path. Corporations and businesses who take advantage of the plight of underprivileged human beings would no doubt consider themselves “conservatives”, would support overturning Roe v. Wade, would argue against the existence of global warming and don’t want government regulating any of their activities, just like those who want to round up the “lawbreakers” and get them the hell out of “our country”.
What’s more, the corporations and businesses who hire illegal immigrants and pay them almost nothing get the best of both worlds. The passion towards the issue of illegal immigration is not merely born of the fact that there are people who are getting away with breaking the law. It’s quite obvious that many people are bothered by the influx of people whose skin is darker than the skin of the average Caucasian. And these “lawbreakers” have the nerve to not only continue to speak Spanish, but they refuse to learn English.
The Americans who are so passionate about this issue blame the Brown people, use pejoratives based upon their hate for these “lawbreakers” while they continue to shop at Lowe’s, Home Depot and other places that “cater to the lawbreakers”.
Maybe, while in the retail stores, they notice the signs and shake their heads. They look at the Spanish and say to themselves, “Damn Beaners” or “Damn Spics”. They then purchase their flooring, their tools or whatever it is they went to the store to buy without a second thought that they’re giving their money to the very people who perpetuate the illegal immigration game.
One might call the situation a “chicken and egg” situation, but that would be nothing more or less than a copout. The first thing that had to happen was for the “lawbreakers” to find work which was more “rewarding” than anything they could obtain in their native countries. In order for that to happen, someone had to be offering such work. Otherwise, it would never have made any sense to put one’s life on the line to come to The FUSA.
