A few comments on this.
The U of A is in Tucson. The overwhelming majority of those in
attendance at that school...and thus at that commencement were white, or
as they say in Tucson, Anglo. The majority of Anglos in that state
support the law. By big margins. Thus it would seem that the large
number of graduates who applauded the speaker in defense of immigrant
rights, represents something of an advance, in a way, among Anglos
there. It was hard to tell the 'split' in the audience. For that matter,
even the booing was somewhat indeterminate of exactly what was being
booed: the speaker's citing the new racist law itself or the speaker for
defending the victims of such a law. Probably both. Same with the applause.
The development of this "Latino" nationality seems to be well under way,
and contracted, as the ruling class splits over what to do over the
crisis. It panics.
This Saturday, the Arizona Diamond backs are playing the SF Giants.
There will be a MAJOR protest there as part of the International
"Boycott Arizona" campaign. I urge everyone to attend.
* Assemble at Embarcadero at 4:00 p.m.
* March begins at 4:30 p.m.
* Arrive at AT&T Park at 5:15 p.m.
* Game begins at 6:05 p.m.
In the days of our Second American Revolution, the northern California
militia traveled south to take on the supporters of the Confederacy and
to meet a threatened invasion of the state by way of Arizona. The miners
militia in Colorado successful snuffed out a division of Confederate
Calvery who tried to take Denver. Let's symbolically do the same Saturday!
