After Ruling, Hispanics Flee an Alabama Town – NYTimes.com
Here’s the thing. You start fulfilling the sterotypes built by our enemies: you discriminate based on the color of people’s skin, you lock folks up and through away the key, you because what you spend a lot of hot wind saying you aren’t.
Welcome to Alabama, which thinks it is just fine to hunt down anyone brown and make everyone flee the state, legal status or not.
Hell, *I* sure the hell don’t want to go there and face arrest because I’m a darker shade than lily white.
And while they swear this isn’t about race and is a smart strategy, this law against Mexican first collared a Yemeni national in this nation legally. Nice job!
But hey, no problem, right? Oh, except for that whole “you have to prove you are a citizen just so you can get clean water” business. Hell, even the racist Minutemen give folks water!
I seriously hope folks of any type of tinted skin stay the hell out of that state. And if anyone could point out ways to not let any of our cash stray towards Alabama, I’d love to hear about it.

Kudos.
Other info from Paul Krugman and Nic Kristof on the movement no one seems to be in charge of yet.
Though, I love that Van Jones – removed from government to appease the right wing – is trying to corral the disparate voices.
Personally, I think the whole thing is kind of silly. But I certainly wish them well. I mean, no one is going to prison over this. No one is currently losing a dime on this. I hope calls for investigations comes. I hope boycotts of those who squandered our tax dollars come up. I hope that billboards of the guys who complained about having to live on “only” half a million a year when we bailed out their failed companies are put up around the country.
None of this might happen. But why the hell not?
