Babeu targets prominent and well respected Hispanic, Pete Rios....as protests loom at Arizona's Capitol..

click to enlarge

 As Arizona continues its all out assault on the Hispanic Community, or 1/3 of the States minority population.

Protesters make their first amendment rights heard. This week the Capitol is a staging point for all the protests that the Anti-Hate movement is fighting against.

Most of the hate bills brought up by known Anti-Hispanic Russell Pearce, are being fought against by the several groups. Though some other bills including; those opposed to the death panels bills have all joined in on the frey.

Arizona once a normal State is now better known as Hate Central.

In this series of the Hate in Arizona, some have questioned why this news is not reported or suppressed? It is due to the acceptance of Hate as being mainstream, which was clever move on the part of Arpaio, Thomas, Babeu, Horne, and of course Pearce.

Hispanics all have targets placed on them by the Hate engulfed in Az.

Babeu yesterday, targeted a prominent and well respected long time Arizona politician for opposing his Anti-Hispanic agenda in Pinal County. Former State Sen Pete Rios, found himself a 'Hispanic Victim' of the Sheriff.

Babeu, known for his untruths and his support of his former Deputy Purroll, in the wake of sb1070, and his 'danged fence' ads with McCain, during the campaign.

Purrolls claims of being fired upon by Hispanics, while on 'routine' patrol alone in the vast and empty desert were questioned and debunked? These issues with Purrolls claims, and the threat on a reporter from the New Times, left Babeu in a difficult Poston? He ultimately fired him, as this was done as damage control for the bigger movement of Hate.

Babue, was also accurately depicted as being a bigot towards Hispanics in the infamous Oracle Billboard.

He now takes his hate and directs it to Rios, who opposed his request for border funds, as Pinal County lies almost 100 miles from the border. (note: 5 million dollars were allocated to Babeu by the same State legislators, who said there was no money in the coffers to prevent the Deaths of Transplant patients, though there was enough to hunt Hispanics?) 

Meanwhile, Pinal County is and has become a sanctuary county for Meth Addicts. They roam freely and victimize residents from Eloy, Casa Grande, San Manuel, Dudleyville, Kearny, Superior, Mammoth, and even the County Seat of Florence. They leave many victims in their wake.

The residents of Pinal, have voiced their frustrations to the Sheriff, yet he is concentrated and focused on Hispanic hunting.

Pinal County and Maricopa county both have become sanctuary counties for felons, and in Pinal's case...., a free for all for Meth Addicts.

The protesters have tried to make this point heard to the politicians in control of making the laws?Sadly it has fell on deaf ears, thus far. Today's issues lie only in the continued assault on Hispanics, the poor, and those in need of transplants. 

This is the New Jim Crow age in AZ.. 

Abuse of the Constitution.. Hispanic US Citizens are now suppressed of their Civil Rights..Arizona

The hate has come to a boiling point amongst its own moment. 

The bigots who have occupied this once diverse State. Now only 'follow' the Constitution when they feel like it..? The worst part, is the 'hate' has become so mainstream that it appears to not only be condoned, it is readily encouraged and excepted. 

Hispanics have been targeted throughout the history of this State.

I have published blogs about the history here and the 'White' community -at odds- with the Hispanic community, for no other reason than 'being brown'..

They have been segregated, relocated, punished in the classrooms, poisoned, arrested, racially profiled, victimized by racist, and even murdered by bigots who hate minorities.   

Its appears to be open season on Hispanics. No-one who is of this ethinc minority appears to be imune? ............As the blogs I published, have mentioned.

Citizens who are Hispanic are now being singled out and targeted from their Constitution Civil Rights-- provided to them by the First Amendment. 

Several Hispanic Citizens, who peacefully showed their opposition to Anti-Hispanic Legislation recently,  were not only escorted out of a building that belongs to the taxpayers, some were cited and arrested. 

When persons are dictating the law due to their bigoted or prejudicail beliefs, (As has happened in the past (Alabama) now appears to be happening here?) this form or practice steps on the CivilRights of ALL who oppose any legislation, proposed or otherwise. 

Freedoms of Americans are guaranteed this in the Bill Of Rights. These Civil Rights are to be given equally to ALL of its citizens regardless of race, religion, ethnic background, etc. 

Arizona has become the exception. 

Russell Pearce, the Senate president has now picked and chose whether Hispanic Citizens can be there?  He is known for all the Anti-Hispanic Legislation that has been proposed over and over in Arizona. Including SB1070, some of which subsequently caused several hate crimes to occur to Arizonas Hispanic Citizens. Including the murder of US Citizens Juan Varela, Daniel Rodriguez, and 9yr old Bresinia Flores and her father. 

He is also known for associating with National Socialist JT Ready.

Ready a well known anti-immigrant vigilante, recently revealed that Pearce and his family openly welcomed him to his home and his church. Even sponsoring him into his LDS faith. He went on to allegedly quote.. "Russell Pearce and myself openly cracked Mexican jokes under his own porch.." 

It is not hard to come to the conclusion and see the bigotry deeply entrenched in the Senator? He is and will continue to focus on Hispanics, as long as the hate-trend allows him to do so. 

With todays fuel atmosphere of hate, this movement has now turned into an out of control avalanche. 

Carlos Galindo, and several other Hispainc Citizens were told this week that they were banned from State owned Senate building...? Sal Reza was arrested for trespassing on it..? 

This was all done in a building which belongs to the taxpayers, which both Reza and Galindo are. (Courtesy of ...(ahem)... Russell Pearce, as reported by the media. )

These persons are Citizens of the United States, and their only crime was to exercise their First amendment right of "Freedom of Speech, not to mention Freedom of Assembly and Freedom of the Press", as Galindo is a member of the press. 

The hate in Arizona has taken a new direction and instead of 'protecting' its citizens? They are suppressing them and targeting them due to their ethic backgrounds..

While the media continues to focus their attentions on Civil Rights issues in the Middle East ..? Arizona is in its own  attempt of -modern day ethic cleansing..

Hispanic Child and Father killed by Hate-Filled Vigilantes.. Arizona

click to enlarge

The 'New-Hate' that has swept over this State, is now evident. If your are a Hispanic you have a target on you. It crosses all lines of this demographic.. My last blog it focused on the fact that, even being a Vet you are not immune from this.? 

More and more, as the Hate-Fest takes root, the cloudier the State becomes, when it comes to its Hispanic minority.

Several of the regular blog commentors have already expressed this fact over and over.

What is clouded, is not their judgments as far as understanding what is right or wrong, but more so the fact that they condone this behavior to occur to Citizens of Hispanic Descent in this day and time.. Repeatedly this group condones this message to the small immigrant population, but in the cases I have brought, up, they seem to condone this to occur to US Citizens who are guilty of nothing more than being brown..?

In this instance, a 'White on Brown' crime occurred of the worst magnitude. 

Brisinia Flores and her family became targets of the Hate in this State. 

A vigilante hate group, that called itself:  Minutemen American Defense Group. targeted and killed 9 year old Brisinia and her Father, as their wounded mother (Gina) looked on. She recounts Brisina begging for her life as she states..

..."stands there and loads the gun right in front of her. I can hear her say, 'Please don't shoot me.'"...

as her daughter begged for her life to the shooters.. 

.........."Brisenia's crying and asking, 'Why did you shoot my dad?' " as the mother remembered. "He tells her it's going to be OK. 'No one's going to hurt you,' but she keeps asking, 'Why did you shoot my dad?"........

..This is what no-one-- with the exception of the 'hate' that engulfs this State --wishes to hear..?

 ......"Then, one gunshot. Followed by another....She saw her daughter fly back,"..... Gina recalled tearfully.

After the hate group left Gina, grabbed her daughter and tearfully said..

..."She was shaking like crazy and I was telling her not to die on me,"...

Within a few seconds they returned and found the mother alive, holding her daughter, 

....at this stage even though they returned, Gina managed to find a weapon and fend them off.. and call for help.  

I mentioned this hate, taking a toll on its Hispanic Citizens, in this case it did so on an an entire family... and...  has done so on an entire ethnic community as well. This incident is a reminder to those who think that 'sweeping it under the rug.. or.. fanning the flames' of this is, as being acceptable.. You can now see why it is not..

Shawna Forde the leader of this home invasion, and hate groups mission to attack this family, has been found guilty this week.. It is also important to know that..Forde has ties to multiple right-wing groups, including the Minutemen American Defense, a border vigilante group that polices the border with their own guns and surveillance equipment, the tea-party, and FAIR, the anti-immigration group that helped design Arizona’s SB 1070.

Her sentencing is scheduled for later this week as the Jury is tasked with deliberating whether or not she will face the death penalty..

Hispanic Veterans targeted.. Arizona

click to enlarge

A Vet is considered to have served his country, and done so in an Honorable fashion.. This statement holds true in just about everywhere you turn in the US..

The exception to this is of course is.. Arizona..

Arizona has been on the 'Hate' wave for some time, as I posted on my previous blogs..

In this case; the State has now pushed this hate wave to a new level.

In April of 2010, Governor Brewer signed controversial bill SB1070 into law. This law requires Hispanics who have been stopped by police to 'show their papers'.. meanwhile the 'white' community in all likely hood--would not be required to provide this same type of documentation..? This subject will be covered in this Hate Series, as todays focus is on the Vets who have been targeted.. 

Many are aware of the Decorated Vets who served this country Honorably.... In some cases due to issues with their citizenship, they were subsequently deported after their service to this country..? This has been prevalent in the US, as previously the US Government had an agreement with the Philippine Government and actively recruited Nationals from there to serve in the US Armed Forces..In return, the US would get places to locate their overseas bases.. This was not limited to that country as many served here Honorably. Though, many were from other countries, most were from Mexico, and after their service they were kicked out and deported..

The US Governments policies have not changed, as this still occurs today. Many are eligible to receive some of the militaries highest honors, including service above and beyond their call of duty.. Yet they are still not welcomed to live here..? 

This issue, is not to highlight these terrible occurrences of Vets being targeted from other countries..? This subject will be covered on another blog as well..

In this case.. this blog is more to focus on US Citizens of Hispanic Descent, being targeted due to the hate movement behind Brewers SB1070 law.. 

In this case; Mexican/American Veteran --Felix Gonzalez.

This decorated long time Armed Forces member and Hero to our country, was one of the 'first' victims to be targeted during the SB1070 fallout.. He is NOT an immigrant, he is the son of a Mexican American father and a mother with Spanish roots. 

Gonzalez, a Post Commander of the American Legion Hall in Apache Junction Az., one of the largest Posts with over 2500 members. Was holding a regular session of his Veterans Organization, and during the regular business.. He and his ethnicity were singled out. 

During this meeting, that occurred in the aftermath of SB1070, a large portion of the membership decided to call a vote to ban the Mexican American holiday ..'Cinco de Mayo'.. 

There are two thoughts that were mentioned as to why..? Both are stemming from 'the New Hate sweeping over Az'.. 

One was: This celebration is not celebrated in Mexico, so we do not need it here.?

Incorrect... It is very much so celebrated here and, as in the Capitol of Mexico, not to mention: the small villages -all- stop and remember the tiny Mexican town that fended off the invading French.. 

The follow up to that thought would be..?  

Indeed, if it were not celebrated in Mexico, it was only celebrated here..? Should it not be  considered a Mexican/American Holiday, rather than a Mexican Holiday..? 

It is everywhere else ----but in the State of Arizona.

To most of Arizona Hispanic Citizens, that comprised of 1/3 of the States population -they so affectionately have come know Arizona as the 'State of Hate'.. In this case you can see why..?

During this meeting and targeting of ONLY the ethic Holiday (as no others were ever brought up?)  

World War II veteran Harry Robert Warren quoted:...

...."I was kind of horrified that they would do something like that..."

He cast the lone descending vote against it, as only him and Gonzalez opposed this hateful attack on  the Mexican American Holiday...

Gonzales went on to state..

...."It caught me by total surprise,......It blindsided me the way it was put on the floor.....I've been commander one year, and if it were really that way I would not be commander."

Furthermore he went on to state..

...."A lot of people don't know the reason for having St. Patrick's Day, either," .....said Gonzalez, a 24-year Air Force veteran.....

Arizonas New Hate is now on its avalanche mode as its 'targeting' of Hispanics has now taken on its proud Heroes.. (Note: no other holiday was targeted in this Post..before or since this occurrence.. )

In part -9 of this series, Hispanic Citizens who have become victims of  Hate and Bigotry courtesy of The New Hate Movement....and its leader Russell Pearce..

Hate Crime Unreported on Hispanic Citizen... Arizona

click to enlarge

Gary Kelley's murder trial in Phoenix, was declared a mistrialby Judge Susan Brnovich, as she ruled in  the proceeding---deliberated by an all 'White' jury. 

This Hate-Crime, has gotten very little publicity, as the wave spreads over the State. 

Kelly is known for his hate-crime against Mexican/American Juan Varela, in the aftermath of sb1070. He was charged with Murder, as he took the life of Varela, and admitted to doing so. 

He states.....

..."You f******g Mexican, go back to Mexico!...If you don't go back to Mexico, you're going to die!..."

Despite the fact that Varela was a US Citizen?

According to Kellys attorney, 

... "Kelley approached Juan Varela to talk about Arizona's new immigration law, SB 1070, and shot Varela in self-defense."..

Note; the attorney representing Kelly even stated that Kelly 'approached' Varela not the vise-versa. 

Though as the Phx Pd noted;.. Varela was--  'unarmed' -- furthermore, the Phoenix Police went on to state..

..."I observed the subject was holding what appeared to be two beer bottles in his hand. The subject had a smile on his face and put one of the bottles to his mouth and tilted the bottle up and gulped. The subject then took the other bottle and held it  over his head. Beer poured out of the bottle onto his head and he shook his head back and forth."...

If you have been keeping up with the 'Az's New Hate Blogs'.. you will have seen how the Hispanic Community has been under attack by the hate-fest that has engulfed this State..

Juan Varela and his family have become victims of it. Not only by the loss of his life, but by the injustice incurred to him by the all white jury.. 

County Attorney Jerry Cobb, has stated that they are preparing to retry the case before a new jury. A new trial date will be set next Thursday 2/17. 

Outside of only a slight acknowledgement by  ~azc~ , no mention of 'hate' was ever published.?

This was a blog to remind those who are in disbelief that this hate is occurring here.? Part-8 will continue the series where it left off..

Hispanics -Profiled, Detained, and Civil Rights violated in City of Chandler..Arizona

click to enlarge

Many are unaware of the 'sweeps' that occurred prior to Arpaio and his infamous Hispanic roundups? He is more commonly known  to violate Hispanic Citizen Civil Rights-in modern times (or nowadays), every time he conducts his targeting of Hispanics. The crime of being ..'guilty of being brown'... is very prevalent -as his Dept. and Posse members continue to detain US Citizens who are of Hispanic descent.

The MCSO's pending Civil Rights lawsuits continue to mount....as....Maricopa County and its taxpayers are- 'left on the hook'  for his continued -lawless and rampant disregard for Civil Rights....Though that blog subject is left for another day.

In this case; the City of Chandler decided to conduct a similar style 'sweep'. Well before the 287g authority had been considered or afforded to the Cities Law Enforcement agencies.... and.... of course well before Arpaio decided to become the media hound of modern times for the same thing. 

287g, grants authority to local Police and Sheriff's Depts., to ask an individual about their immigration status..

Chandler, in this case-- took it on its own merit in 1997 to round up all Hispanics it came across.. This was unprecedented, and no other Arizona city had attempted this previously?

What it came across was, as its findings became public -were that in many instances, Police were rounding up US Citizens, who were guilty of nothing more than ...'being brown'...? In this case they either lived in Chandler, or were shopping, conducting business, or were simply passing through the City to get to another destination? 

Remember there was no crime committed by this very large Mexican/American ethic minority,  just the fact they were Hispanic. 

What the City of Chandler came to realize in the aftermath of the roundups? Was that they knew that they committed gross negligence on their part --to have allowed and to have condoned this behavior to have occurred within City boundaries?

Subsequently, the city was sued for an estimated 35 million for violating these Hispanic Citizens Civil Rights.

The victims of the roundups, were awarded large payouts. These payouts  came courtesy of the Class Action Lawsuit brought to the city, by prominent Civil Rights Attorney Stephen Montoya, and theACLU. The tab to pay the award came courtesy of the taxpayers, and very bigoted agendas put forth by the City of Chandlers leaders, at the time.. 

This is a reminder to those who run the City now, as they have opposed this agenda/stance since their Lawsuit judgment/settlement was imposed on them. In other words, they publicly oppose any type of 'roundup' style of law enforcement -to occur within their jurisdiction. 

High price to pay, for bad decisions made previously by the City of Chandler..

It is an eniterly different story in the case of Maricopa County. Here it is still ok for this behavior to continue and cost the taxpayers... As the supporters of this bigoted agenda, are ok with wasting taxpayer dollars to continue to target Hispanic Citizens, and payout their subsequent lawsuits............... Arizona's New Hate Movement at its finest..as mentioned --it will be left for another blog..

Part-8 of this series, will focus on the powers of 287g granted to law enforcement officers and those who abuse this authority. Wecome the Ground Zero for Hate..

The State Highway Patrol targets Hispanics....Arizona

click to enlarge

It is a difficult task to see, as one may not relate to the aspects of being targeted as a minority..?

Its becomes more clouded as this behavior becomes more and more mainstream. In an ideal world there would be no anonymousity towards others who looked different, had different religious beliefs, came from a different backgound, or simply had a different view outside of what is considered the normal-mainstream.?

In this instance...

This becomes more clear and blatant as the targeting of minorities is done so without impunity...as in case of the Hispanics and Blacks in this State being targeted. Moreover,  not just by those who are simply opposed to these groups (bigots), but in this instance.., it comes from those who are -sworn to uphold and protect the law..

As was in the case of: Arnold -v- Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS-Highway Patrol).

In this Class Action Lawsuit, the victims of the racial profiling were singled out specifically for no other reason other than -being a minority.

According to Alessadra Soler Meetz, of the ACLU, the report by the DPS's own admition stated..:

..."Searches being conducted by the majority of DPS officers continue to target minorities,  despite the fact that people of color are less likely than 'whites' to be transporting drugs, weapons or other illegal contraband..."

Furthermore, the allegations go on to state..

..."The report also shows that minorities are detained for longer periods of time after being stopped by DPS officers..." 

In the findings of the report by the DPS they mention;

..."This unequal treatment was not justified by higher contraband seizure rates from minority motorist..." 

Notice the mention of the words---not justified.. 

Very profound words, as the continued hate in Arizona gains its momentum.. 

This lawsuit cost taxpayers, no differently that the ones occurring now -as the Arpaio rounds ups, of Hispanics continually violates the -US Citizens of Hispanic descents civil rights. (That is another blog subject of the New Hate in Az., as his costs to the taxpayers surmount to over 40 million and in lost lawsuit payouts and judgements-and still counting)

The DPS's costs were not just for the the violation, (the citizens who they wronged) it was also for the costs of defending itself in the costly ongoing court battles. In addition to the courts subsequent findings of the DPS's violations, it also awarded the cost of attorneys fees, brought by the plaintiffs who were decriminated against is this lawsuit. One would think that this could not occur in today's time, or this was a practice of the past.? In this case it was settled in court as recently as 2008. 

The Hate, is now becoming more clear in this series, as the racial profiling aspect -has tied this subject into todays's New Hate Movement.

In Part-7 of this series; the violation of Hispanic US.Citizens -civil rights, for committing no other crime, outside being ..."Guilty of being Brown..."

Racial Profiling...Arizona

click to enlarge

Not differently than the blog that highlighted the Lowrider scene, and the fact that the Hispanic drivers then were constantly harassed and unjustly stopped for no other reason than being brown.? 

The targeting of Hispanics in Arizona, by no uncertain terms, was not limited to these nice looking rides and their very dedicated drivers. 

Most are unaware of incidents of racial profiling practices, that were generally swept under the rug by the local police departments, cities, towns and media.? 

It was and will continue to be prevalent in this State and of course others. At least until the hate stops veiwing this ethnic minority or other minorities-as second class...or.....  until laws are changed to stop this common practice from continuing. 

In the early 90's, in small town Arizona--there was one of these 'swept under' cases.

Oro Valley a small suburb of Tucson..,.sits just north of this metropolis, and is generally bypassed by those travelers who have to get to other areas North of the city..Oracle, Globe, etc.

One of the towns elected officials at the time, from Mammoth Az., Fred Sanchez, noticed his community was getting stopped more often than not, by Oro Valleys police force. He did further research, asked around and conversed with the local Copper Miners-- from the nearby town of San Manuel, and found this to be the case- similarly with them.

His investigation revealed the only common factor in these 'unjust' stops were that they were all Hispanic.  

Being on the proactive side of the elected Town Government, he made contact with then Oro Valley Magistrate Royal Bouscher. This was not a highly uncommon practice then, for to persons of political influences to air out their differences in a back door meeting. 

He went on to ask the Magistrate of OroValley, why his citizens and the miners were getting stopped for no reason other than being Hispanic, every time they went through his town.? 

One can guess as to what was exchanged between the two, as the media seemed to ignore it completely. 

It is alleged that this answer was -as speculation arose, that Bouscher needed a new building to hold his courts, and in no uncertain terms, he thought the police force saw their easy money in targeting the Hispanics who commuted through there daily. 

Granted this is only speculation, though the Hispanic community did get stopped there often enough to raise concern, and Oro Valley Magistrate did get its new building.. Furthermore, the contact was made between the two.

More commonly and well known --are the cases in which lawsuits have been introduced. In part -6 of this series, I will highlight a portion where the DPS was involved and its subsequent lawsuit.

The attack on the Chicano Movement..Arizona

click to enlarge

The Hispanic culture runs deep in Arizona. One does not have to travel far in any direction to get a taste of the real Southwest.

I have mentioned how the 'Hate' movement in Arizona has never stopped their assault on the Hispanic population?

How I will tie the Old Hate to the recently taken over-  New Hate? Will be more clear once this series is finished. 

To get there, one has to understand the cultures and traditions of this very large ethnic minority. What are their likes and dislikes.? What music do they listen to? Clothes, foods, etc.., yes even what language this group prefers to speak while in the comforts of their own homes..?  

In this case, its more of a lifestyle, of sorts.. Yes, the southwest and Chicano culture runs along side of its very --Mexican/American ancestry.. 

This lifestyle in Arizona, came into play in the 70's and early 80's. It is known by most today, as'Lowriding'.. These are Custom Cars which are seen in Car Shows, and sometimes seen cruising the streets of Arizona, for their group functions, or to meet others and show off their rides. 

This movement of the 'Chicano' (Mexican/American) culture originated in Southern California. It was common for these Mexican/Americans to bring over the new styles and showcase their 'rides'.. in the Arizona, scene.. 

This movement was helped by fledging Chicano Movement Magazines such as Q-Vo mag, Firme mag, Teen Angel mag, and Lowrider Mag..  These magazines highlighted the best of the best- of this group. They helped in setting the trends-- that were just getting started in the Hispanic community back then.. 

In this case, they helped combat the stereotype of Hate amongst the business community and the various police agencies.

These two groups -the businesses and police classified the Chicanos and their Lowrider Movementas all 'gang' related..

This peaceful group of Hispanics who just wanted to show off their cars, had targets placed on them.  In this case, they were found guilty of having committed a crime, when the only crime was that they were in violation of; ...was- being a  Hispanic with nice car..? 

They created large Car Clubs, who were also at times, mistaken and classified as 'gangs' by the local police. Some of these early Arizona Clubs include: Destiny, Spirit, Sophisticated Few, Society, Groupe, Stylistics, Dukes, Imperials, Carnales,  and many others. 

If it weren't for these Magazines and the prominent members of the local scene, calling out the hate, this targeting of Chicanos may never have stopped...?

The first attempt at a Car Show, brought much disdain and animosity towards these Hispanics. Predominant members such as Johnny Lozoya, Sonny Madrid, Alberto Lopez, Benjamin Hernandez, and others..., stepped up and made it possible to have this Chicano Movements first ever car show. This didn't occur in Phx., (no surprise there) as the buisineses community didn't want to host a Hispanic event, and this left little choice as far as venues..?

The Native American Tribe, offered its land with open arms in '79, and Firebird Lake became the first venue in Arizona to host such an event.

Its success, was well received by the business community, and the subsequent years that followed, the 'gang' show was allowed to continue at the Az., Convention Center and Fairgrounds. 

Todays Car Clubs have seen their community  attacked again. The New Hate in Arizona, has now been felt by all the Hispanics as now this community-- according to Sen. Russell Pearce, is the new number one priority to set its sights on. The economony can wait according to him. Hispanics and all associated with this group are on the New Hate agenda. 

Which is why the Car Clubs of today generally- attend, support, and protest, along with civil rights, human rights organizations, and other the groups who are opposed to this constant and seemingly never ending hate, directed at Hispanics. 

Part-5, of this series will further highlight the bigotry and hatred directed at Hispanics in Arizona and give a more modern day prospective.

The Attack on the Barrios...Arizona

When ASU is mentioned, most think of higher education, and the advancement of students.. (With our current trends of cutting this portion of the budget by Brewer, there is an excellent argument to be made otherwise..? That subject is is left for another day.) Today you will see another side to the History of where ASU sits. 

This blog is focusing on the attacks on predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods.. If you are originally from Arizona, you are familiar with .."Campito, Hollywood/9th-st,  Duppa Villa, Hayden Park, Chula Vista, Cuatro Milpas, Green Valley and others.. 

Today's focus on two of the larger and older Barrio's --Golden Gate and La Victoria, and the attack on them.., as the 'Hate' in the past put these once very thriving communities in the cross hairs of those who saw easy targets.. 

Similarly to what occurred in San Diego, and its quest to target Hispanics. I-5 cut through the largest Hispanic neighborhood in the Southwest at the time --Logan. This occurred as the White community rezoned it from residential to industrial.. Only a concrete reminder -made into a makeshift park called affectionately as- Chicano Park, now remains.. 

Today where Golden Gate once sat? Is now the west end of the I-10 and the airport. The only remaining structure is the Church of the Sacred Heart.

Mass is still held there once a year, as its former residents attend services to keep the City of Phx from tearing it down. Phoenix saw the Hispanic community as a potential easy way of getting their much needed freeway and at the same time getting rid of the Hispanic neighborhood. Today only memories of the former residents of Golden Gate, and those who attend the Mass, remain..  

Back to ASU, many are not aware of the history where the campus sits now.? This was another predominately Hispanic neighborhood. The city of Tempe needed room for its campus expansion, and in lieu of finding another suitable location? They went after the Hispanic community.. Like San Diego, they rezoned the land and Eminent Domain took precedence. 

All the Hispanics living there were told in no uncertain terms to get out.. They reluctantly complied, and relocated to what was known as Victory Acres, or more commonly known now as La Victoria. this Barrio still remains today. 

If you have kept up with my blogs, you have seen the Old Deep Rooted Hate.. In my next blog you will be brought into how all this Hate from the past, ties into the New Hate we have now..

The Poisoning of Hispanics..Arizona

click to enlarge

Some have questioned whether the Hate Trend that has engulfed this state had anymore substance in regards to the Copper Industry.?

I posted a blog in part-1 of this series that resonates with the Hispanic community from Arizona. The current 'Hate' movement will be attributed to the ongoing history of hate in this State. 

Some questioned whether or not it was only an issue from the past, or maybe could be related to only the mining communities..?

I will remind those that I have started with the hate in the Copper communities, though my argument that it is still occurring --will remind those who have had their disputes ..with the targeting of Hispanics -including and especially the Copper Communities....Will soon see the light.

In a letter to ASARCO inc., one of the largest Copper Companies in Arizona, from Senator Elliot Shapleigh (Texas State Sen) dated Jun/08.. 

It stated in great detail as it quotes..

..."We see a close similarity between those disparities in lead cleanup standards and other "standards" for Hispanics in the areas in the United States. In a 1990 investigation of an ASARCO smelter in Hayden, Arizona, William E. Craig, an ASARCO worker with the Local 866 Steelworkers Union, found that Mexican-Americans who received OSHA physicals had their results falsified to show healthier results than those actually collected..." 

This statement is further verified by Dr David K. Parkinson.. who wrote

..." predicted values in Hispanics were being reduced by 15%.." ... 

Most would believe that in modern times this could not occur on this level.? I ask you talk to the Hispanic Communities that have been under siege of the poisons from these mining companies...?

If there was doubt the the Hispanic population has had long time targets in Arizona, it can now not be disputed.
