[Vision2020] Racist Fliers Distributed in Southern Idaho

[keely emerinemix]

This is tragic.

The Mullets keep coming up in these things, and it worries me particularly because of the large number of Mexican immigrants living and working and contributing to life in Southern Idaho.  Violence always follows campaigns like this.  The idea of "keeping America white" is, of course, as historically stupid as it is deplorably racist.  The U.S. has never been "white," and the offense directed at those women and men of color who helped built this nation and did so under violence, oppression and injustice most Anglos have never experienced, is staggering.
