167 - They're Still At It: Arizona Immigration Law Is Part Of A Decades-Old Right-Wing Campaign To Attack Minorities For Political Gain
Today, we'll take a look at the Arizona "your papers please" statute, with a large emphasis on the historical context in which it was passed: long-standing and pervasive right-wing racism.
Before analyzing any legislation touching on race that comes from the right, it's absolutely critical to know the right's history in this realm.
With this law, and with any measure proposed by right-wingers that touches on race, progressives must immediately issue the challenge: "Mr. or Ms. Right-Winger, any measure you propose is automatically suspect as being racist, given right-wing past practice and behavior. The burden is on you to prove otherwise."
This show provides the historical evidence you can draw upon to be able to confidently make this assertion to your friendly local right-winger. Included will be, what I call the Five Pillars of Ronald Reagan's racism. Also along the way, you'll hear some hair-raising clips of racist comments by prominent right-wing media personalities.
You'll also learn about the hidden goals of the "show me your papers" law.
(PS: Right-wingers, if you want to write in to me, fine, but at least do me the courtesy of listening to the podcast first. Please don't respond just on the basis of the brief preview above. Thanks!!)
Scheduling note: episodes of Blast The Right will be posted every three weeks.
