Racism Double Standards
Michelle Malkin:
Read the whole thing.
The Minuteman movement, a group of citizens voluntarily patrolling our southern border this summer, was routinely cast as racists, xenophobes and vigilantes by the left and the media. Yet when it comes to illegal immigrant apologists displaying blatant racial superiority messages the media covers it up and the left doesn't want to talk about it.
Funny how that works, isn't it? Kind of like how the media never tells you about how most of the anti-war rallies they cover are organized by communists.
An estimated 500,000 to 2 million people, untold numbers of them here illegally, took to the streets of Los Angeles to protest strict immigration enforcement and demand blanket amnesty for border violators, visa overstayers, deportation fugitives, immigration document fraud artists and other lawbreakers. Mexican flags and signs advocating ethnic separatism and supremacy filled the landscape. Demonstrators gleefully defaced posters of President Bush and urged supporters to "Stop the Nazis!" Los Angeles talk show host Tammy Bruce reported that protesters burned American flags and waved placards of the North American continent with America crossed out.
Bet you didn't see that on television.
One of the largest, boldest banners visible from aerial shots of the rally read: "THIS IS STOLEN LAND." Others blared: "CHICANO POWER" and "BROWN IS BEAUTIFUL." (Can you imagine the uproar if someone had come to the rally holding up a sign reading "WHITE IS BEAUTIFUL"?)
