Before I get into the subject of this post, I just want to give this jerk his half-second of notoriety for ignoring repeated “requests” to wear his face mask on the Metro bus, including by the driver who played the recorded message by the department of health stating that it was required, just for his benefit:
Anyways, I recall something while on a bus some years ago after the media was reporting that, according to Census data, Hispanics had passed blacks as the largest “minority” group in the country. I overheard the bus driver, who was black, complain to another black man that the “Mexicans think they are above us now.” I doubt any “Mexicans” think that at all, constantly getting beat on for being here. To me all this “revelation” meant was that there was now more Hispanics than blacks to discriminate against, and besides, even if there were technically more Hispanics, they certainly don’t have anywhere near the media power blacks have to promote themselves and air their grievances.
And if the numbers are a problem, there is always a way to fix that, at least in so-called “liberal” Seattle:
That’s right—just make them “disappear.” According to this, there are no “Hispanics” or “Latinos” in Seattle. I mean, they couldn’t even count the people with Spanish names? Obviously the “justification” for this is very likely the pettiness and victim “entitlement” of blacks and other titleholders. Since Hispanics are not a “race” but an “ethnicity,” your prejudice against them cannot be called “racism” but something whatever, and whatever it is, it is "justified" and you needn't feel any "guilt" about it. You can’t call it “racism” even though that prejudice is derived from the way they “look,” meaning the amount of indigenous Indian in them, which, “sad” to say, is a “race,” which is why American Indian is included in the racial demographics.
Hispanics are an “ethnicity”? What the hell does that mean? Barack Obama’s mother is white, but nobody calls him an “ethnicity.” The hypocrisy of these “liberals” and “entitled victims” in Seattle is absolutely amazing. I’ve always said you only have to be “racist” against one group to be one, no matter how hard you try to call it something else.
Admittedly, it isn’t just blacks who insist that Hispanics are an “ethnicity”; some Hispanics who are what I call “Euro-elites” don’t want to be lumped in with “them”—meaning the vast majority of Hispanics, who have some, mostly or all indigenous Indian blood. Racism against people of non-European ancestry (again, mainly indigenous people and “mestizos”) runs deep in Latin America; you only have to watch Spanish-language television to know that, or that those Oscar-winning Mexican directors only work with white American actors. Indigenous people are of course not included in the “American Indian” column in Seattle’s demographic list, even though they are mainly from North America (which includes Mexico) and Central “America.”
Now, the reason why I am bringing all of this up is because of a local news story. As I mentioned before in my King County Council post, I have little interest in local politics, since nothing changes save for the names and the faces. This year’s mayoral contest is between Bruce Harrell, who is of black and Japanese “ethnicity”—let’s not be hypocrites now—and Lorena Gonzalez; both are currently Seattle City Council members. OK now, I have already turned in my mail-in ballot, and I voted for Gonzalez because I know she doesn’t have a prayer of winning.
It frankly baffles me why Gonzalez thinks she can get elected mayor in this city with its culture of prejudice against Hispanics; she must be like that Melissa Villasenor on Saturday Night Live; she recently appeared on a Weekend Update segment, supposedly to talk about Hispanic Heritage Month, but instead as a “joke” talked about her difficulty in getting a date with a host or a musical guest—none of course who are Hispanic. This “confirmed” my suspicions of those Hispanic women I see who cling to “gringo” men like a wet rag, completely without self-respect, selling whatever it is they got to sell for fake “social status.” By the way, when I was in college a white male student told me that he thought Hispanic girls are “cute” when they are “young”—but then they get “fat.”
Well anyways, it seems that Gonzalez has kicked up a bit of dirt into the faces of these “liberal” and black hypocrites in Seattle, and they of course are resorting to the usual name-calling. Being behind in the polls with a week before the election, Gonzalez has a campaign spot that resorted to an old accusation of Harrell giving then mayor Ed Murray a “pass” when some men came forward to accuse Murray of molesting them years ago, and added their contributions to the “MeToo” shit parade. At the time, Gonzalez insisted that Murray resign immediately, while Harrell and the other members of council insisted that the mayor deserved due process instead of a knee-jerk reaction.
Don’t get me wrong; I am entirely with Harrell on that, but it seems to me that if the people who came forward were women, there wouldn’t be this conversation in “rainbow” Seattle. But Gonzalez was ahead of the curve on this issue, since the mayor did resign when five men came forward with accusations against him, although he was never in fact charged with a crime; Gonzalez was simply following (sincerely or opportunistically) the dictates of politically-correct, “woke” Seattle, and with Murray’s resignation, it allowed the current mayor, Jenny Durkan, to just ride the gender politics wave into town. Unlike Harrell, Gonzalez actually has “credibility” on the issue as far as “woke” Seattle is concerned, while Harrell “flinched” in this instance of “victims of violence.”
Is it a “racist trope” to point
out that Harrell chose to be behind the curve? Why is it a “baseless smear campaign”
and “race-baiting,” unless you are “self-conscious” about the fact that a
certain demographic accounts for
homicides in the city at seven times its population percentage? Well, OK, in “race-conscious”
Seattle, data on perpetrators of crime by race is not publically available, only the
race of the victims; but we can assume that if the victims of a particular race
are seven-times the rate of its population, the perpetrators are at least that
much. That isn’t even the issue here, but black activists are making it one in
a desperate effort to maintain some kind of political relevance in a city where
blacks are increasingly being “replaced” by east and south Asians, many of them
H-1B visa holders imported by tech companies, to answer phones and do data processing
that most people can do, but for which Asian managers prefer their “own.”
Still, it was a mistake for Gonzalez to post the spot because in a competition between gender and black “entitlement” to “victimization," hypocrisy always wins. I mean, Harrell has the black and Asian vote, and she actually thinks she can get even the white women vote? But what is “disgusting” to me is to read Paula Sardinas, who was a member of the State African American Affairs Commission and an alleged “advocate” for victims of assault, claim that Gonzalez was “trafficking” in “anti-Black dog whistles that harm our community” when in fact that certainly was not her intent.
It is also disgusting to me how Hispanics/Latinos are demonized and dehumanized by the media (white or black) in this country, and are only “noticed” when there is an opportunity to make ridiculous and hypocritical accusations against them. Just keep beating on them, because they don't "belong." You know what? All you people making these accusations against Gonzalez are the real racists.
