Freeptopia explodes in racism over mistranslation

[Rose Siding]

The ignorant freepazoid captions the photo:

"Barrio Yes, Yankees No!.....one has to wonder why they came here is they are so unenamoured with Gringos(?).COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU, IT WILL SPREAD IF OUR SPINELESS LEADERS GIVE AMNESTY. BANK ON IT"

TBogg educates with a passage from the Chicano Park Murals site:

After a two-year period of little activity in Chicano Park, Barrio Logan residents once again banded together to better their community. Their goal was to have the neighborhood rezoned to remove the forty-eight Anglo-owned auto junkyards. At one point, "a stack of crushed cars" had fallen over into the backyard of one of the residents.

Varrio Si, Yonkes No! (Fig. 48) was based upon a flyer for a community meeting to discuss the problem of the junkyards. A community team designed and painted the mural, supervised by Victor Ochoa, "then employed at the Chicano Federation building in the park as a recreation counselor for cultural events." Varrio is a variation of barrio, neighborhood; and yonkes refers to junkyards. Thus, Neighborhood Yes, Junkyards No! Imagery within the mural depicts the Coronado Bay Bridge and National Steel. In the foreground, residents protest with their placards, Mas Casas, Menos Yonkes, More Houses, Less Junkyards, and La Unidrad Es La Fuerza, Unity is Strength. "Barrio Logan was rezoned. Junkyards began to move away."

The freepanzi has some other revealing captions-

"la tiera mia”…my land (not your’s)"

You know, like the song...."This land is my land, this land's not your land" :eyes:

"Hey…poco Ingles…que milagro!"

That captions a photo of a woman wearing a shirt that says "Brown and Proud".
Another woman gets oogled from a safe distance, surrounded as she is by men who could conceivably be surrounded by US military-

"Some of these Reconquista chicks do have nice hair..to be fair"

Oh, more than fair! :crazy:

Then, above a shot of some men talking there's this:

"Brown Beret sage dishing out some vato wisdom...and dental advice"

To clear things up for those who may not want to peek into the pit, he wasn't talking about this guy-

1. Greatest cultural rift since we tried to sell them the Chevy Nova("No-Go")

[Rose Siding]

4. TBogg says Malkin's running with it

I can live without reading her, so I don't know if she picked up on this aspect.

Nova was a PR nightmare. Very funny :)

[Jack Rabbit]

5. Figures

Michelle Malkin is a liar anyway. She knows she spews misinformation in service of the yuppie fascits regime.

9. I wonder how much she would have enjoyed the

US 1942+ concentration camps . . . since she calls them okay at this time . . . do ya think that anybody at the time would have cared that she was not Japanese as she was being raped and robbed?

[Jack Rabbit]

10. She wrote a whole book on that

Yes, she said that interning Japanese Americans was right thing to do. She presented a completely fallacious argument based on anecdotal evidence about one case to justify the entire thing.

2. The word they thought they read is Yanquis

As in Yanqui go home.

Well, I understand. Freepers are barely literate in English. We shouldn't expect them be able to read Spanish.

What a bunch of dumb gringos.

[zbdent]

12. They're the types who would go over to Europe and wonder

why so few people speak English (even those in London) . . .

[BrklynLiberal]

3. Ignorance among the freepers should come as no surprise...

It is a prerequisite.

6. ...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[pagam]

7. No suprise here!

These freepers just can't take the time to get the facts! they sound like 8th graders goofing on others.
as for la malkin, when is she going to rant on the fact the falung gong reporter who heckled mr hu during his "official" visit with bushito has been charged with a federal offense of intimidating a visitng head of state ?

8. Some of them are making good points, though...

"To: Uncle Hal

Folks need to wake up. This ain't the Pilgrims.

He's right.

The Pilgrims killed the indigenous population...

11. I wish they'd show more of their racism

People need to know what kind of people Freepers really are
