Subject: Racial Issues

• Support Your Local Right-Wing Bloggers

  Enough, enough, I say, to those who are chastizing various local GOP bloggers and GOP blog responders over their inadequacies and mealy mouthedness when it comes to calling out the racists and racism swirling around doomed congressional candidate Tan Nguyen. First, you left fielders criticize Republifucks for going all Three Blind Mice to the racism right in front of them every day forever and ever in these United States. Then, when they join you in piling on Tan, you mock their lack of finesse,

• Remembering OC's Black-Hating Ways

  While researching my fall book on Orange County history, I've come across some fun facts. Did you know, for instance, that we had more than our share of sundown towns, those wonderful municipalities that didn't allow African-Americans to remain in town after dark? And that men in Orange boasted that no blacks were in their city after sunset well into the 1960s? And that Brea didn't allow blacks to live there during the 1920s and most likely had a sign near the city limits stating, ""Nigger: Don'

• Bill Cosby: Hip Hop artist?

  I just found out that Bill Cosby is making a hip hop CD. Which proves just one thing: Now anybody - and I mean anybody - can put out an album. If it's a good album is another matter. What is it with famous folk crossing out of their celebrity niches and into the music realm? This has been going on since William Shatner's did his version of "Rocket Man," which I'll admit, I loved. Hey, it might be a good thing. Who knows maybe Scarlett Johansson's new CD, "Anywhere I Lay My Head," will be brillia

• Activists protest hate at Cal State Fullerton

  At noon, the ho-hum shuffle of another Tuesday afternoon was interrupted with a jarring burst of voices. They echoed from the Cal State Fullerton quad in front of the Humanities and Social Sciences building. A noose was throw over a tree branch and dropped in the dirt. Today students from across L.A. and Orange County had a lynching. A lynching of intolerance. A stuffed effigy riddled with hateful slogans was held swinging from a noose in the background of a protest at CSUF's anti-hate rally. A

• Some Tips for Servite High Fans Today As Their School's Boys Basketball Teams Faces Mater Dei

  Dear Servite High students:You boys disappoint me. For years, I've sung your praises as a school that doesn't truly tolerate teen rapists like your eternal rivals, Mater Dei High School. But a couple of weeks ago, you earned worldwide notoriety for making racist chants again an African-American Mater Dei boys' basketball player. That's horrible, and you should never do that again. Almost as bad, however, was learning that ustedes have jeered Mater Dei's coach, the portly Gary McKnight, in the pa

• Surf City Obama Monkey Girl Speaks!

  The t-shirt in question?It's rare that we ever get a response from the offending party in our Hey, You! column, and even rarer to get a retort from the writer to said response. Yet that's what has seemed to happen with the Hey, You! of a couple of weeks ago, in which someone took a teenage girl to task for wearing a T-shirt with a picture of President Barack Obama with a monkey mask, and the white-power charade that followed in the parking lot of a Huntington Beach Albertson's.Last weekend, we r

  The Los Angeles Times story published this Monday telling the world Anaheim is now majority-Latino has drawn nothing but derision from the Latino Anaheimers I know (read this musical takedown by Weekly contributor and KPFK-FM 90.7 Subversive Historian Gabriel San Roman). "Oh no, they didn't put in a picture of lucha libre!" another pal cracked, referring to the Mexican wrestling matches that have been occurring every Sunday at the Anaheim Indoor Marketplace for so long that the second piece I ev

• In Praise of the Slater Slums

  Candy Ass Hanson: So stupid he can't even beat up a Mexican​I had dinner last night with my best friend, a guy I've known since seventh grade, when he moved to Anaheim from Huntington Beach. Specifically, the Oak View neighborhood, universally known in HB as the Slater Slums due to its high Latino population and many apartments. I asked if he had heard about the idiotic racists who dared go into the neighborhood with the specific intent of assaulting a Mexican."No," he said with a laugh. "What

• Racist OC Register Reader Fustercluck of the Week: "Stupid Asians!"

  So far, this column has focused on stories with headlines and subject matters--gangs in Santa Ana, white people voting more often than Latinos, Latina columnists being employed by the Register and daring to write sympathetic stories about immigrants--that are virtually guaranteed to attract racist comments. But as this week's installment makes clear, you never know what kind of a story will set off at least one nutjob with a keyboard. Even a column as seemingly non-racial and innocuous as Frank

• White Supremacist Party Made in Garden Grove

  Jaimee Lynn Fletcher has a fascinating piece in today's Orange County Register about a pro-white (as in Caucasian) political group forming in Garden Grove. Supporters of the Golden State Party notified the Secretary of State in May they would try to qualify as a political party for 2010, elections officials said. The kicker is the self-proclaimed "European-American" group has links to white supremacist groups and is run by a two-time convicted felon, something that has caught the atte
