Here we go again. Latinos, famously asleep at the wheel on an important issue like that Nazi nefarious Arizona immigration bill:
react too late to do anything except complain and express outrage. Yeah, whatever.
So of course, it’s up to the black man to step up to the plate.
Enter the Rev. Al Sharpton, who says he is going to Arizona when that crap law goes into effect and challenge the police to try to arrest anyone to refuses to hand over their papiere.
“We’re going to walk the streets with people who refuse to give identification and force arrest,” he says.
You know, just like the brown groups are doing (NOT!!!). They’re obviously way too busy planning the next gala du jour.
So thank goodness the good Rev has nothing better to do than defend a bunch of brown ingrates.

The coconuts have been offended lately because Obama hasn´t personally attended the quinceañeras of their daughters or called them to wish them a happy Cinco de Mayo.
They are especially almost pissed off because after more than a year of them campaigning fiercely for Hillary and criticizing Obama and telling Latinos not to vote for him, they weren´t the first on his list of friends and family to call.
But they made enough noise, and since Obama does need Hispanics to vote for him, they all met together at the DNC at a closed door non-binding meeting at 5 PM on Tuesday, and made sure they didn´t tell ANYONE in the Hispanic Media, and picked such a convenient time to meet waaaay past any news deadline, EVEN for the West Coast.
So here is the only thing you need to know about this meeting in which the Latina members of Congress were VERY ABSENT….

César Chávez Hailed by Hispanic Caucus
( Washington , DC ) – Several Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) were joined by other Members of Congress and organizational leaders this week as they recognized the life and work of César Chávez, a labor organizer and civil rights activist.
This week’s floor statements (surely not even C-span broadcast those) and press conference (not attended by any press) coincided with a week that shares both the anniversaries of his birth and death. Across the country, the week is being marked with celebrations in 65 cities in over 30 states, including statewide holidays in 10 states.
Specifically, they were supporting H. Res. 76, a Congressional non-binding resolution urging the establishment of a federal national holiday honoring César Chávez, and urging public schools to teach about his life and contributions. The resolution currently has 61 co-sponsors.
It totally goes on an and on as almost each Hispanic in Congress tries to prove that they love Cesar more than all the rest....

I love it when I get messages that say: For Immediate Release…, especially when they are about old news…
Does Grijalva think he is going to get a documentary of himself by holding a roundtable on Holy Friday? And especially in Arizona, where we know all latinos will be in some kind of church procession or crucifixion reenactment…(Or if you are on the Mexican side of the border you have a few day off in which you can cross over and take advantage of the shopping specials at the Walmart in Douglas)But hey, he does mention the U.N…..
