A Different Angle On Rep Dianne Watson and State Rep Mervyn Dymally of California

The following videos featuring the words of US Rep Dianne Watson (D-CA) are making their rounds upon various Black conservative blog sites. The attempt is to highlight the bigotry and hypocrisy in the words spoken. While I largely agree with these points there are far more subtitle points that prove more damning. My goal is to point them out.

(Note: Some of you will see the title of the video which calls Ms Watson a "Political Whore" and this will be enough for you to reject the CONTENT within. This even though the title was added after the fact [and certainly not me]. We can do without this type of name calling as there are far more damning points to hit Ms Watson with.)

In the opening salvo Luis Rodrquez asks if "any of those people protesting out front would invite you to dinner"? They are the "Minute Men". A group that is angered about illegal immigration and thus have set up defenses at the American border to stop people from entering this nation illegally from Mexico.

When Ms Watson takes the mic she notes that a few years ago the Minute Men would be wearing sheets as part of their protests.

THE IRONY

Let us inspect both of these statements. Let us yield the question that - indeed - these (mostly White) men would be Klansmen if we shuffled back the clock more than 60 years.

What is lost on Mr Rodiquez and Ms Watson is that DESPITE these men being the "modern day klan":

• They did not raid the meeting, shooting all of the attendees
• No Black or Hispanic was pulled out of the meeting and lynched
• The building was not set afire as an intimidation technique
• Upon the end of the meeting (which was held in 2006) I don't recall hearing any of the attendees being assaulted as they walked to their cars
  

Still all of these points are not the biggest irony. I wonder if any of the attendees in the meeting who labeled the Minute Men as the Klan would dare exit this meeting if it ended at 12 midnight and walk 20 blocks in any direction wearing an iPhone that is visibly displayed? In as much as some people are good at attacking "racial profiling" they seem to be expert in violating these principles as well. Sadly their use of race is for political posturing. They are indeed more afraid of the "gang bangers" that would likely rob them if they were to walk the streets of their own community in the middle of the night.

2:40 Mark

At the 2:40 mark of the video California State Representative Mervyn Dymally, who is originally of Trinidad responded to the Black "Minute Man's" question as to how they could allow the invasion of our lands by illegal aliens by saying "You should ask that of the Pilgrims".

In my experience in debating Progressives - such a come back triggers a response to "Ooooooh He busted on you. He talked about your mama".

In truth Mr Dymally's response was pathetic. He is a native of Trinidad and thus willfully immigrated into the United States. This nation of "Stolen Land".

Mr Dymally is apparently among the group of people who can articulate how "Every White Person living in the USA has blood on their hands for the actions of their ancestors here in America" yet he is not able to recognized the advantage that he CONSUMES on a daily basis as a resident of the United States - this God forsaken nation.

This tactic is little more than a "brush back". IF there was ever a movement to revert control of this nation back to the Native American and ALL non-native inhabitants were forced to "move back to where they came", suffering the loss as they are not allowed to take any of their possessions - Mr. Dymally would be the first one crying that his constitutional rights, as afforded to him as an American citizen, have been violated from this plan!!!

Rep Watson Takes The Mic Again

After being shown up by the Black Minute Man who gave a character reference to the organization Ms Watson had to save face. She avoided answering the question about her failure to protect the established borders of the United States.

Instead she latched upon the political issue de jure. She suggested that the billions to be spent on the border fence was better spent to rebuild New Orleans.

Few people are going to challenge Rep Watson on the fact that the Black labor class has been negatively impacted by the competition for unskilled positions as the employment sector has been saturated by immigrants from Mexico, in particular.

You see, this stems from the position that the Black legislator occupies. They are the "Fighters Against The Establishment" and for "The Least Of These". Thus when it comes to the supply of job opportunities in the market place they are more inclined to blame the employers and make claims of their exploitation than they are to see that their PUBLIC POLICY choices also impact the situation.

The Progressive politicians will always have the upper hand with the working class. They only need to keep shifting their message, pretending that they are the working class' best friends. As long as the masses hear people spouting policy positions that are agreeable to their own - they are not likely to step back and make measure of how they fared while under the control of these same policies.



In video #2 Ms Watson misrepresents the words of Rush Limbaugh, as have so many other progressives. Limbaugh said he hopes that Obama FAILS in his attempts to take over certain elements of the nation via his policies SO THAT AMERICA CAN SUCCEED.

The main point of my analysis of this video, however, is focused upon her words of praise of Fidel Castro.

I have been challenging my conservative brothers to NOT argue in the name of FREEDOM for a people who would gladly hand over their freedom for the sake of BEING TAKEN CARE OF.
Thus you are arguing an important point upon a tone deaf group of people.

Instead it is more important to make note of those they provide a positive reference toward and make use of the instruction that it provides to you about their ideological character.

I have suggested several times that the magazine "International Socialist Review" provides far more insight as to the logic that is held by the Progressive than most are willing to accept. The key difference between Ms Watson and the Socialist views in this magazine is that she knows full well that she must work through the system to obtain her goals. The Socialists are unbound to the system and thus they are free to offer more radical prescriptions.

The main question that I would ask of Ms Watson in relation to Cuba would be around the people of Cuba and their freedom and civil rights. As a society they have yielded their individual rights for the sake of a "care taker state". As a supposed civil rights leader I am struggling to understand how Ms Watson can be comfortable with the lack of rights afforded the Cuba people.

I suspect, however, that Watson and many other extreme leftists in this nation were fighting "White Supremacy" all along and they don't have a problem with GOVERNMENT SUPREMACY - as long as the people are fed.
