Anti Immigration Activists Tell The Truth, Yell “White Power”
Tweet
At least these kids are much more honest than Tom Tancredo and a lot of the conservative Republicans.
It started with a simple question and ended with at least one student chanting “white power” in a classroom.
It happened Tuesday in a classroom at Holy Family High School, the Catholic school that sits at the corner of 144th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard in Broomfield.
The classroom discussion started with the question: Why do students need to learn Spanish?
According to the Archdiocese of Denver, the conversation soon became about immigration and it turned ugly.
“It became a heated discussion and some rhetoric was used that was inappropriate for the classroom,” said Jeanette DeMelo, spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Denver.
At least one e-mail sent to 9NEWS said that at least one student started a chant of “white power” and some said that all Mexicans should go back to Mexico.
By no coincidence the Univision-sponsored Spanish language debate for the GOP has been postponed and likely canceled because only one candidate had agreed to appear. This is actually the one area where Karl Rove is right. The Republican party is doing its damnedest to stand against the fastest growing demographic in America, and while things may work out for them in the short term by scaring up the conservative white vote, it is long term doom.

I prefer these guys to the usual right-wing double-talk. Not only are they not lying to us, but they’re not lying to themselves.
Oliver, you know we need a scape goat.
It’s not a racial thing at all. It’s economic, they just happen to be brown skinned that’s all. Unless your in Boston then they are white Irish.
Are we going to buy it?
Nice touch that it was in a Catholic HIgh School. Mel Gibson would be proud.
Oliver swings and misses about as bad as the Red Sox did this week against Yankee pitching.
Helluva strawman you’ve constructed though.
“at least one”, eh? That’s a cute trick; I might use it but I prefer to be intellectually honest.
Meanwhile, it wasn’t that long ago that, just as one of the many examples I could provide, Hillary’s co-chair AntonioVillaraigosa led the president of Mexico in the Chicano power handclap on the floor of the California Assembly.
Oddly enough, the press hasn’t highlighted that, or things like another Hillary co-chair snapping to attention when the Mexican anthem plays (youtube.com/watch?v=FgbCB8QlQWw) and all the other incidents, even including the chairman of the CA Democratic Party mouthing eliminationist rhetoric.
Somehow I don’t expect OW to try to figure out why the press would refuse to discuss those incidents involving Democratic politicians, but would choose to highlight something “at least one” highschool student did.
“Helluva strawman you’ve constructed though.”
Helluva strawman? The minutemen, those losers that patrol the border, actively recruit from Stormwatch, a white supremacist website.
Saying racism is a strong motivation in this debate isn’t a strawman, it’s fact.
“I might use it but I prefer to be intellectually honest.”
Your blogs sure does attract ‘em, Oliver. A statement on intellectual honesty followed immediately by two paragraphs of non sequiturs, obfuscation, and intellectual dishonesty.
One idiot High School kid says white Power and Oliver gets his panties in a wad.
Whites are the only ones not allowed to say %ethnic group% “Power!”
Whites don’t have that kind of power.
Save your outrage for when the Redskins finish at the bottom of their division.
Go Chargers! I love that Chicken!
The minutemen, those losers that patrol the border, actively recruit from Stormwatch, a white supremacist website.
Uh, no. They don’t.
And since when did a few high school kids become “anti immigration activists”?
Yeah, you tell ‘em Jay. Our brave Minutemen don’t recruit from Stormfront because they don’t. They just don’t!
Also, there’s nothing racist about anti-immigrationists. There just isn’t! Dhimmis are teh real racists! They just are!
Strawman?
Was there ever a time when ever Cindy Sheehan spoke she was only speaking for hereself and not the official spokeswoman for all of us dirty-fucking-hippie-dhimmi-moonbat-lefty-traitors?
She’s one person too.
Uh, no. They don’t.
Uh, yes. They do.
Minutemen and StormFront
Jade, nice article. Doesn’t close to supporting the contention that the Minuteman Project “actively recruits” members of Stormfront.
In fact, it shows just the opposite and shows why some other crackpot outfit was formed. Thanks for the verification!
Yeah, what Jay said! The good Minutement people just don’t recruit from Stormfront. They just don’t!! OK!! OK!!!
Perhaps you don’t see any recruiting posters around with people in white pointy hats saying “We want YOU”, but when you spout racist rhetoric you are laying out the welcome mat just the same.
Shorter version of many conservatives’ comments on race:
“I’m not racist, I just can’t ever seem to think of anything I like about non-white culture, politics, or policies related thereto.”
What? White flour?
“Jade, nice article. Doesn’t close to supporting the contention that the Minuteman Project “actively recruits” members of Stormfront.

So…. illiterate or just intellectually dishonest.
No wait, I know, cognitive dissidence.
You’re wrong C.S.! Because you just are! Are so! Are so!! Are so!!!
Wife power?
“I know, cognitive dissidence.”
I think you meant this. Which, using Oliver Willis logic, means your point is moot.
Whites don’t have that kind of power.
Yeah. They only rule the country and control just about every institution possible. Why shouldn’t they be able to just yell “White Power” to rub it in those inferior brown people’s faces?
Really, if some white guy were standing in front of me snivelling about how he doesn’t have any power because he doesn’t get to beat up someone different from him, I’d punch that weak ass in the face.
These people aren’t “immigration activists” or representative of the GOP – they’re high school students. It’s an interesting story and worthy of comment, but c’mon.
Adam,
Welcome to Oliver’s world where you get to take an extremist viewpoint and apply it to the rest of the group they claim they are affiliated with.
I think we called that Stereotyping in my Sociology course in High School.
