Trump’s ‘Fight!’ Tweet Is Our Call to End Mexican Scapegoating
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump went on Twitter this morning to incite violence against Mexicans. “I love the Mexican people, but Mexico is not our friend. They’re killing us at the border and they’re killing us on jobs and trade. FIGHT!”, Trump tweeted.
Calling on his Twitter followers to “FIGHT!” Mexicans marks a new low for the belligerent Trump. In doing so, he uses the threat of violence in an attempt to quell criticism and, we feel, as retaliation in response to the backlash he’s received over his original anti-Mexican comments made almost two weeks ago in announcing his candidacy.
Such hate speech leads to violence and death, as we’ve seen one too many times in our community.
Shown above are:
Brisenia Flores, 9, shot and killed by Minute Men in their Arizona home in May 2009. Her father Raúl was also killed. Her mother was shot, but survived.
Juan Varela, shot and killed in May 2010 days after SB1070 was passed in Arizona by a neighbor who yelled, “You fucking Mexican, go back to Mexico!” Varela’s family has lived in Arizona since before 1848 when it was still a part of Mexico.
Luis Ramírez, beaten to death by 4 teenagers in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, in July 2008. “Tell your Mexican friends to get the fuck out of Shenandoah,” one of Ramírez’s assailants yelled at him before he was attacked.
10 anti-Mexicanhatecrimes were reported in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Staten Island, New York, in 2010. The victims were typically men on their way home from work. Almost all of the assailants were young black men.
Anti-Mexican hate speech can’t go unchallenged. The scapegoating of Mexicans ends today!
Fuck Donald Trump and his racist ass. Yes really trying to start a one man crusade against Mexicans. It’s disgusting and disrespectful as fuck.
Do you see this problem staff? We could really use a more customizable method when it comes to ‘liking’ posts. You know, almost like playlists on youtube.
I really hope someone sees this and tells their history teacher they are being illegally detained after the bell.
Then the history teacher will hold that person after class and teach them the Geneva Conventions address the treatment of people during times of war and that this is the stupidest thing in the history of space and time.
life hack: just fucking accuse your teacher of a war crime
There are around thirty of these clubs at the Disneyland in Anaheim. The Tomorrowland rebels, Walt’s Misfits, Hitchhikers, Main St Elite, Wonderlanders, Mickey’s Empire, Triton’s Mermaids, Hidden Mickeys, Mickey’s pink ladies… Each club has its’ own name, as well as its own logo. Some have identified the name of their club with their favourite ride; for others, it’s more a matter of their favourite characters. But the Neverlanders are at the origin of this movement. They are said to be the first group to have shown themselves off in such a way. Meanwhile, the Main Street Elite are the largest and most visible group.
okay but like… why is “age of ultron” called “age of ultron”????? it’s wasn’t really an “age”, it happened over the course of like three days. it was more like a long weekend. it was the long weekend of ultron
Because he was trying to make an Age of Ultron. He wasn’t trying to make a few days of it. Just cause he loses doesn’t mean that wouldn’t be his aim or proclamation.
You name things after the villain’s grand scheme, not his failure.
No, but could you imagine? “Weekend at Ultron’s”, with Tony dragging around a deactivated Ultron body, trying to convince the other Avengers that he’s still alive for some reason. Thor going along with it because he just thinks its a weird Earth custom, to humiliate your foes by parading their corpse around(which, to be fair, in some places it is).
