IMMIGRANT MALES

In today's blog, I want to talk to IMMIGRANT MALES. It is about Donald Trump's absolute disdain for people of color, in particular immigrant people of color. Recently in his Madison Square Garden rally, the vile names he called people of color were so repugnant that is alarming that the audience in MSG was cheering and applauding him. I know the saying about sticks and stones will break bones, but words will never hurt you. WRONG. Words can hurt deeply, they can wound the soul. Trump is a  wounder of souls. 

 Language can break spirits and sow anger and cause division. If anyone had any doubts what Donald Trump believes about people of color, all they need to do is to revive the TV footage of his vile comments in Madison Square Garden. Any person who listened to Donald Trump and his other speakers denigrate people of color, like the so-called MAGA comedian who called Puerto Ricans trash. It is abundantly clear - crystal clear - that anyone who votes for Trump is, like Trump, a racist. 

That said, I'm going to assume that no sane males of color will vote for Trump. In which case, I need to talk directly to white males, yes all you white guys in the Madison Square Garden cheering for the Trump.

I need to remind you of something very important. Extremely important to do with your HONOR.

Don't believe Donald Trump was denigrating just people with dark skin color. If that's whatt you think, you better think twice. Donald Trump was denigrating Italians, Jews, Polish, Russians and Irish.. You will reply, no doubt, that you are "whites" not people from those "bad" countries, like Mexico and Puerto Rico or Honduros. You'll point to your skine and say you're a white man. Yes, that would be true if this were only about skin color, but it's not. It's about prejudice and hate. I say to you, Trump's words would shock and anger many of your relatives that came from other countries to the United States to seek a better future: 

Those of you who are Irish, Russian, Polish, Italian, or Jewish are not so far removed, chronologically, from being called: Micks, Dagos, Wops, Kikes, Pinkos, and Polacks, from being called lazy, dirty, stupid, criminals, rapists and drunks, not so far removed from being accused of taking jobs away from good honest Americans, not so far removed from being lynched as dozens of Italian immigrants were in New Orleans in 1891. You are not so far removed from the facts depicted in Martin Scorsese's movie Gangs of New York City about native New Yorkers, earlier settlers, mostly English, abusing immigrant Irish, not so far removed from December 22, 1907, Louisiana where immigrant Jews were robbed and beaten for simply being Jewish, not far from  synagogue's burnings and recent shootings, not so far removed from hateful magazine article in the early 1900's that wrote Polish Immigrants, with their flat slavic faces were inherently ignorant and with a propensity for violence. 

It was not so long ago, in America 1954, during the Senator Joseph McCarthy period that I was called a commie and pinko and shunned by many of my elementary school classmates because I was a Russian Immigrant who had arrived in the Untied States after World War ll. I remember the sting. I remember how as a youngster I wanted to bloody the noses of my youthful detractors. It was not a good feeling.

You guys cheering in the Madison Square Garden for Trump, you need to ask your grandparents about their stories or their parent's stories. Donald Trump was not just talking about immigrants of color, he was talking about your kin folk. 

All of you, descended from Jewish, Irish, Italian, Russian, and Polish immigrants: if you vote for Trump, you will be pissing on your relatives' graves. Be HONORABLE;  Be COURAGEOUS. 

                                                VOTE FOR KAMALYA HARRIS 

I'll end with the first four lines of a poem/song written by Kathleen O'Neil in 1862 
Sur I was out he other night on such a wild goose chase,
I saw an advertisement about a decent place.
It is myself the place will suit, but I can not tell you why
The lady said did you not read NO IRISH NEED APPLY. . . 

Simply change the word Irish to Italian, Jewish, Russian, and Polish and it's a sign most of your relatives read who came to the United States to seek a better future for themselves and their families.
