The protesters were people with clear racist tendencies. Most of Bolivian opposition -with its stronghold in the western city of Santa Cruz- has promoted violence and racist attacks in the Andean nation, but now they are bringing that hate to DC. Among the protesters were friends and allies of former president Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, who is requested by the Bolivian justice for genocide.
Here is another video showing this group of Bolivians shouting (in Spanish) : "Assassins, get out, fake Indigenous, sold outs, take that custom off, bastards, piece of shit, go away, Evo faggot son of a bitch, he is a faggot"
..
Do you know what is the saddest part of this video? that some of the protesters are actually Indigenous peoples themselves, and they use racial slurs to insult their own people! Another example why we should never use terms like Latino or Hispanic - people end up thinking they are white... great - nothing better than self-loathing Indians honoring Native American heritage month.
Shame on you people, whoever you are.

Those racist bolivians disgust me. I support president Evo Morales, he is a good man.
ReplyDeleteEvo is a good man; I write about his issue at Freedom of Medicine and Diet and Continuing Counter Reformation.
ReplyDeleteI do believe he gets bad advice, such as being posed with Castro (who unlike Evo was NOT elected), and with his denunciations of "capitalism" when he righteously calls for a free markets for coca products.
Thanks Anonymous for the comment. I agree with you. Racism is a mental problem, but it can be corrected.

Douglas: there is not a perfect president anywhere. We all humans, we make mistakes.
Evo Morales is just beginning the transformation of Bolivia for the better, and from there, change will spread around the Andean region.
Now, I believe there are good things in socialism, and free market as well. Perhaps we can learn from every political system, and try to work for the best interest of peoples.
I hate when people who know nothing about what is truly going on in a country 'support' a President. If only you would live in Bolivia and see all the deaths that Evo has caused you would not be supporting his 'revolution'. With Chavez, he is doing nothing more than destabilizing the Latin American region by promising change that they will never be able to fulfill. First check your facts, then make opinions, especially when you are talking about people from different countries.
ReplyDeleteAnd the people from Santa Cruz are not radical nor antidemocratic, they just want to establish a federal system (hence the "autonomias") that work so well here in the US.
Yeah let's check your facts, see who is about hate and death, who is promoting violence and racism in Bolivia and the world, right.
ReplyDeleteLet's blame all of the problems of South America to the only presidents who are working for the oppressed people, and blame them of our own faults. There we go again.
