Arizona mural altered to change children's skin tone

[Sin City]

My avatar really should speak for itself in many cases.

That's all I'll state.

Brujeria is pretty decent. I never got into them much. I have some of their stuff on the phone though.

I see. So when stuff pops off, I take it you'll be prepared. More so than I am.

get yo self a gun!! lol nah. I hope the latinos if attacked in that community take peaceful action. mlk and the other civil rights people got their voice heard by showing they were better than those burning down their homes and churches. if it comes to that the latinos should do that too.

read this on facebook.. reposting it as is. the way it was posted on the link.. pretty sad. I know many white americans feel disenfranchised and are looking for something/ someone to release their anger and frustration but Arizonans are taking this **** way too far. it's soon gonna turn into the confederate south. they were forced to alter the skin tone of the black and brown kids because the community around it was enraged by them being depicted in the mural... the school is mostly black and brown children and the mural had children of all colors i hear.

The following was posted on Wonkette and I am reposting it here in full because I don’t think they’d mind and I sure couldn’t say it any better. As an American I am horrified by this. Please post this story on your Facebook and Twitter and get it out there:

Hard to find even the Gallows Humor in this story, so maybe we won’t even try. Maybe it’s time to admit that large chunks of America are in the hands of unreconstructed racists and vulgar idiots, and that the popular election of a black man as president just might’ve pushed these furious, economically doomed old white people into a final rage that is going to end very, very badly. Ready? Here you go: An Arizona elementary school mural featuring the faces of kids who attend the school has been the subject of constant daytime drive-by racist screaming, from adults, as well as a radio talk-show campaign (by an actual city councilman, who has an AM talk-radio show) to remove the black student’s face from the mural, and now the school principal has ordered the faces of the Latino and Black students pictured on the school wall to be repainted as light-skinned children.

This is America, in 2010, and there’s a dozen more states and endless white-trash municipalities ready to Officially Adopt this same Official Racist Insanity.

From the Arizona Republic:



Remember where you were, when you could still laugh about teabaggers and racists and Arizonans, because funny time is almost over. If the unemployment keeps up — one in five adult white males has no job and will never have a job again — and people keep walking away from their stucco heaps they can’t afford and the states and cities and counties and towns keep passing their aggressive racist laws to rile up the trash even more, ****’s going to very soon become very bad, and whether it’s the National Guard having wars in the Sunbelt Exurbs against armies of crazy old white people who are finally using their hundreds of millions of guns, or whole Latino neighborhoods burned to the ground the way the Klan used to burn down black neighborhoods a century ago, we are in for a long dark night and no light-colored paint is going to fix that.

Postscript: So that asswipe Steve Blair got fired from the radio station. Blair emphasized in his statement that “I’m not a racist by any stretch of the imagination, but whenever people start talking about diversity, it’s a word I can’t stand.” What a ****ing idiot.

That's really a petty thing to do. Someone needs to step in and do something about Arizona. Whatever happened to, "Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses longing to be free...". I'm a soldier and have spilled blood to defend these sayings that I truly believe in. Such a shame

I honestly could see a second civil war in the future man. This country seems to really be headed in the wrong direction.

its actually headed in the RIGHT direction

the united states was founded upon each state having their own power and their own laws.... thats what this is about... not one big bull**** federal govt to rule us all

states rights>>>>>>>>feds rights

thats how it started, thats how it is written in the constitution

Yeah that mural depicted kids from that school. There`s nothing tougher than calling a child a `nigger`out of the window of a speeding car!
