Tell it like it is, Bro!

I'm not a racist. I meet a lot of the criteria that civil rights groups use to label people as racists. I say the word "nigger" when the word fits. (I realize that simply reading that collection of letters grouped in such a way gives some people an aneurysm. Fuck them. I'll have to give my lecture about words and meaning here sometime.) I also label people as "scumbags" and "white trash" or "yankee" when appropriate. But I don't give a fuck about someone's skin color or anything else but how their actions affect me in my daily life. Frankly, the only people I would like to see dead right now have skin as pale as mine, and I work with people with all shades of skin color. A certain white, conservative Evangelical Christian comes to mind... And I would bet, though not being a gambling man, that I could get a lot of help either killing him and/or disposing of the body. From a bunch of southern rednecks. See, despite your racist stereotypes, we are all results-oriented. We have a dark-skinned dude that works on some of our jobs. He is more of a redneck than I am. And, without any apology to the NAACP, I can tell you that he is as black as the Ace of Spades. (Speaking of the NAACP, isn't the word "colored" an unacceptable term for "African Americans" nowadays?")

My favorite movie quote about race came from John Wayne (Imagine that!):
"Mister, I don't have a racist bone in my body, but if you go for that gun, I'll shoot you just like I would a white man."




I've avoided going over the whole immigration debate. I work with Mexicans and some of them (the ones who can actually speak English) are my friends. I have a hell of a lot to say about it. I have a lot of years experience in reality versus what the public spin is on the whole issue.

Well, today I heard a man talk about it on the radio. He spoke the truth. I laughed my ass off, because I had never heard a person actually have the fucking balls to tell it like it is. Oh, we rednecks have been railing for years about how the wetbacks are fucking shit up, but today I heard a black man talk about the situation. He nailed it. Frankly, he said things I have been saying for years.

He talked about how the illegals, in South Central L.A. (!), have brought third world ways to the 'hood. No shit. I've only been seeing that for nearly thirty fucking years here in Cleburne, and it's getting worse and worse. The Mexicans are getting so comfortable that they just don't even care about being discreet anymore. They used to try and fit in, now they flaunt their Mexican-ness as if it is superior. (Mexican-ness being five cars in the yard, twenty prople in a small house, loud fucking music all night on a Saturday, trash strewn everywhere, various code violations ignored, and farm animals running loose in a city. I've had issues with these people before. If the law gets them, they just go back to Mexico for a while and sneak back later with a new identity.)

I can't do justice to the number of things he said that had me fired up. Bottom line, his slogan is "If You Ain't Mad, You Ain't Payin' Attention". The Mad Carpenter loves that. Here is his website:
