La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for June 22, 2015

My Dad retired to a small town in Texas, When I asked him why, he replied. “Everything here is like it was 40 years ago”I didn’t push for clarification, I knew exactly what the old homophobic, racist, republican I call “Dad” meant.Yikes!“We sure don’t want those uppity minorities to think the constitution applies to them!”It’s just for us old rich white folk, that’s what the police are here to enforce!"I’m so glad, I was inspired by Thoreau, and Pete Seeger and John Lennon. Jesse Helms, Pat Robertson and J. Edgar Hoover can burn in hell!My Dad polarized me to become his exact opposite by his extremism.

This was done on The Daily Show already but still relevant. Not all Texans are like that, I’ve met a few that are not locked back in the 50’s. 1850’s that is!

Yikes!

A_Dreaam4u, maybe your father was a democrat. 40 years ago Texas belonged to the Democratic party.

Sammy Davis Junior was a ardent Kennedy supporter until Kennedy would not invite him to his lingual festivities because he was black and it might upset some of his Democratic Senators form the South.

After that racial insult, Sammy supported Nixon.

Realty and image are seldom the same. You should read the full article from the New Your Times by By LEONARD GARMENTPublished: August 25, 2002

Here is one paragraph. Note it was not published until may years after Nixon left office. This was not a coincident:

“The release is an album from Blue Note Records, ‘’Duke Ellington 1969: All-Star White House Tribute.’’ It was recorded at a black-tie dinner and jazz concert given in the White House by President Nixon on April 29, 1969, to celebrate Ellington’s 70th birthday and award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and it has never been made available.”

Note: ardent Democrats should not read the article because is in based in reality not image.

nixon was a racist who hated blacks and jews as well as others. Listen to the infamous Nixon tapes for more info. How far back do you wacko Republicans have to go to cover your own asses with ancient history? Democrats changed their Dixiecrat ways decages ago while Republicans got more bold with their inherent racism. Look to what is happening NOW, not years ago. The voting record and minority support of Democrats proves every assertion you make wrong, wrong, wrong. Quit making excuses and start making chatnges.
