Hopefully Not Coming to a Neighborhood Near You

A recent article on CNN.com reported the growth of hate groups in light of President Obama's ascension and a struggling economy. While disappointing, it's not terribly surprising. And while I want to be careful about aligning strict immigration laws to hate groups and racism in general, it's suspected that Proposition 187 in California was largely a political motivated attempt to scapegoat illegal immigrants to divert attention away from terrible fiscal discipline on behalf of the state government. In the Simpsons episode, "Much Apu About Nothing", it's obvious that immigrants were targeted in a hate-fueled effort to blame them for the increase in taxes due to bear protection services. The result? Apu had to scramble to get his citizenship and Groundskeeper Willie was deported, only to show up at the next episode.

The title of the article, "Growing hate groups blame Obama, economy" is a bit of a misnomer, because it's not as if the hate groups blame the economy or Obama for their hate; it's more accurate to say that Obama's election and a struggling economy have fueled the hate. I can understand the theory that President Obama "gives a face to the enemy", that it serves a propaganda purpose in terms of white supremacists selling that years of liberal brainwashing have led to Obama's power and his plan to destroy the white Christian values. And the scapegoating in the midst of economic hardship, as mentioned earlier, is pretty easy to do. Sad.

Well, I for one am a proud member of the mud race taking away jobs from hard-working white families and trying to slowly impose my mongrel culture to eliminate the proud heritage of the superior white culture which created this great land of America. I hope that I will either someday go back where my railroad-laying slant-eyed laundry boy ancestors came from, or otherwise stop complaining about racism.

Man, I need to stop trolling racist websites.
