Do you really know what's happening in Arizona?


Take it from a someone born here, activism from outside the state will do nothing good
I am getting so very frustrated at being called racist. It has been almost continual since Obama was elected.

And then you get the likes of Al Sharpton coming into Arizona and stirring up trouble.

Let's put this in perspective, shall we?

The Federal immigration laws were not being enforced. I happen to think that those laws are deeply flawed and cause more problems than they solve, but those laws exist. The fact that they are not enforced creates contempt for the law and a bigger legal mess.

The Arizona law is also a really bad idea. But that Arizona law was written specifically to compliment the Federal law.

Before going after Arizona, fix the Federal law.

Real simple.

Meanwhile, that carpet-bagging race baiting shyster needs to stay where he belongs.

Let me tell you some things about civil rights in Arizona that you don't know.

The 1964 Public Accommodation Act in Arizona was passed before the Federal Civil Rights Act.

Phoenix desegregated it's schools in 1953, one year before Brown vs. Board of Education. It was the first city in the U.S. to do so.

And of course, Arizona is the only state in the union to put the MLK Day to a public vote. Twice. And going by the raw numbers, it won overwhelmingly both times.

I'm an Arizona native, I know my state. The more outside agitators come in to get headlines, the more that most Arizona residents will tell them to f*ck-off. Arizona has a proud tradition of residents working from the bottom up to change things for the better. We fight pressure from outside.

We've done it so many times it's not even funny. And most of the rest of the country never noticed.
