He cited last year’s law suit regarding redistricting and
that same court’s ruling that the maps were drawn in a manner that was overly
discriminatory against Latinos. Were they? I don’t believe they were, but I am
not a Latino. But then again, in Texas how many of our families are interracial
and just how do you accurately determine who is Latino and who isn’t. I mean I
have relations in my family and my wife’s family that are of all different colors
and cultures.
As a matter of fact, I have a lifelong friend who married a
young lady of Hispanic culture and they have three sons who all have German sir
names. Are they Hispanic? This same friend’s sister married a Hispanic man and
they have two boys and a girl all with Hispanic sir names. Which kids are
Hispanic and which aren’t? This is the future of Texas and the United States. All
you have to do to see the integration of america clearer is travel to a college
or high school campus.
When my parents were in high school they were all
segregated. By the time I was in high school integration had been the law of
the land for nearly twenty years and while we were fully integrated I am afraid
there was still some self segregation in the schools. Today things have changed
greatly since the time my parents were in high school. Take a look and see that
the kids of today are pretty well integrated when allowed to be so. When I visit
my children at college or in high school I am so happy to see this taking
place. It reveals a little window into martin Luther King’s dream.
Unfortunately there are far too many older folks including
many in my generation who knowingly and unknowingly work to maintain the rifts
between cultures and the races they need to survive financially or politically.
Regardless of their party affiliation, I look at representatives in government
who are of mixed racial and cultural backgrounds and I see people who should be
the perfect candidates to help unite Texans and Americans.
Yet far too many of them are worried about winning the next
election rather than working for the betterment of society. They can’t see past
their own future to take the time to help create a brighter future for all of our
children and grandchildren. As a result, I have to say that should we as a
country not learn to quit bickering, to address our own flaws as a people, become
proactive in our handling of the issues rather than reactionary, to unite, and to
work to come together; then our current outlook is bleak.
But then you have race hustlers (who I will leave nameless);
people who through their own actions make a mockery of those who came before
them. People who make a mockery of addressing civil rights and racial harmony
while claiming to carry the legacy of Civil rights trailblazers like Martin
Luther King, James Peck, Medgar Evers, Rosa Parks, James Zwerg, or Octavio
Ambrosio Larrazolo.
So to go on the plaque of race hustlers who shall remain
nameless, you can etch in the name of Eric Holder because regardless of what
else he says, the only way for him to keep the fires from flaming out of the liberal
agenda is to keep all the racial fires stoked to an overheated frenzy.
Sadly though, this will be a costly endeavor for both the
federal government and the State of Texas; and in the end it will go to the
Supreme Court of the United State where they will rule as they have in similar
cases in other states and the law will stand. After all, Texas’ law is less
severe than the decade-old voter ID laws in either Indiana or Georgia; and amazingly
enough in both of those cases minority voting increased after those laws were
passed.
But Oh Well, why not waste all those federal dollars….it’s
not like they’re borrowed or anything!
Bring your ID with you to the polls in November!!
