Daily Show Al Madrigal exposes Hispanic bigotry

hispanic bigotryWhat about the Cubans!  They are the really bad ones… Well, since Ricky Ricardo anyway. What Hispanics all have in common – as to African Americans – is they tend to not like people who don’t like them. Which happens to be Republicans. Who are unable to control themselves and strive everyday to find some way to make sure both Hispanics and African Americans know just how much Republicans don’t like them.

I am reminded of an old Kingston Trio song from the Fifties…

They’re rioting in Africa. They’re starving in Spain.
There’s hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain.
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls.
The French hate the Germans. The Germans hate the Poles.
Italians hate Yugoslavs. South Africans hate the Dutch
and I don’t like anybody very much!

Some things never change.

After watching a repeat of Ken Burns documentary on Prohibition the other day I realized how much things stay the same. That entire horrifying debacle was brought to us by Southern and rural America.  Manure rots the brain. And mixed with okra and kudzu it becomes dangerous.
