White liberal teachers of Los Angeles get dose of racial reality

Randy writes:

I went to the Orange County California Coalition for Immigration Reform meeting on Wednesday. Bill Bonner of the U.S. Border Patrol spoke. I met a man who is a teacher in South Central Los Angeles—the heart of the invasion—80 percent Hispanic students. The LA walkout involved tens of thousands of students—something like 30 plus thousand all over Los Angles, from South Central to the San Fernando Valley. Some even went onto the freeways. This teacher’s school is along the route the students took from their schools, farther south, to the LA City Hall or wherever they gathered. The school administration had the staff, which is mostly white and liberal, stand at the school entrances to keep the marching students out and their own students in.

He said that as the marchers passed by, they “expressed themselves” to the staff standing in front of their school. He said the estimated 7,000 marchers walking by the school had nothing but vile, hate-filled racist comments toward the white teachers.

He told me that even the most hard core liberals were shocked and finally came to the realization, “They hate us.” They were asking themselves, “What are we doing here?”

Of course, the damn liberals have it backward, as usual. Their question should have been:

“What are they doing here?”

Reread the interesting story of the LA teachers who wound up wondering “What are we doing here?” You might have taken that the wrong way—these people are themselves teaching many illegals, and were stationed there to prevent their students from joining in. Such thoughts might reflect some new grasp of reality, rather than more of the same old self-flagellation.

At least we can hope.

LA replies:

As the story was transmitted to me, their question, “What are we doing here?”, was not a response to the fact that many illegals were marching, and therefore why should the teachers be standing there preventing their own illegal alien students from marching. It was a response to the realization that the marchers HATE WHITES. What the teachers meant was, Why are we teaching people who hate us? Why are we teaching in these schools?

And that question had further implied meanings that will become explicit in the years to come: Why are we in Los Angeles? We are we in California? Why are we in the United States? We are we on the earth? Instead of thinking, “Why did we let these people into America who hate us?” and thus get their backs up, they thought, “These people hate us, so we don’t belong here.”

However, I agree it could be hopefully interpreted as, “These people hate us, so why are we investing our energies in doing anything for them?”
