Illegal Protest

Way to go Target! Finally a chain store with the kahunas to stand up to the Latino agenda! I will bet that we will see more of this since the case against Joey Vento was dropped recently - and the ruling stated it was NOT discriminating to put a sign in your place of business that states “Speak English”. Amazing! Now if we can just get rid of the “Press 1 for English” on business voice mail messages we will be moving in the right direction!

Let me make this perfectly clear. To demand people in this country learn the language of the country to become a citizen is NOT racist and is NOT discriminating. France has been adamant about that for decades! Just try going to France and expecting them to speak English - even if they KNOW English, they are proud of their language and they aren’t catering to any other country even if they ARE tourists.

Somehow in this country, we have turned into a population of people who are not proud of their language or their country and they seek to destroy it from within. This has been happening slowly for years now and it is finally something that cannot be ignored any longer. We should have started fighting this 20 years ago when the first “Press 1 for English” phone message was created.

Nothing is MORE discriminating than a country that caters ONLY to TWO languages. If they really want to be open and welcoming to other countries, not just Latin America and Mexico, then we would support ALL languages. By supporting ONLY English and Spanish, you diss the Canadians to the north who speak French. You diss the Asian immigrants. You diss the European immigrants. So why is this country so hell bent on making it a Spanish speaking country? Are there really people who would like to have us become third world Mexico because that is what will happen if you follow this path of “Latinizing” the US. To what end do we want to Latinize the US? Do all the big businesses want to replace the current US citizens with the third world poor Spanish speaking peoples? Because if that is not your goal, it sure would shock me!

Here’s the story on Target. Be warned - when you see the words “progress” and “struggle” you can be sure the writer or group has Socialist roots. These are the key words of the insurrection in the United States. Don’t be fooled!

The recent opening of a Target store in Columbia Heights in Northwest Washington, D.C., has aroused a range of emotions among community activists, local residents, and the media, from unfettered praise to cynicism and ambivalence.

One of the biggest concerns for those leery of the project is that it will permanently change the face of Columbia Heights, a diverse neighborhood with a high percentage of Spanish-speaking residents. Critics argue that even if the development benefits most people at the moment, the resulting increases in neighborhood housing prices could eventually push out some of its longest standing residents.

So, simply by stating “English only” it will drive people from the neighborhood? Because they don’t get coddling from the local stores to continue speaking only Spanish? That would be enough to make Spanish speaking people leave? Really? Well then I can’t WAIT till the entire country goes in this direction because maybe then, the Spanish only crowd will find their way back to a Spanish only country too! Waaaaah.. people don’t want to bend over and take it up the ying yang from the “Latinos” any more.. waahh our invasion and infiltration of the US is being reversed.. waaah…

Perhaps Columbia Heights would do better to invite WALMART to their neighborhood or LOWE’S. I’m sure either of these stores would be only too happy to bend to the whims of Latinos and they would be only too happy to stick it to the English speaking majority…

The other day I found myself in a local Lowe’s - if I could find what I needed at another store I would - but of course these chain stores dominate an area and push out all of our alternatives to them. So I am FORCED to shop at a store that displays EVERY sign in English and Spanish. The Spanish is only a wee bit smaller than the English. I thanked the store manager for allowing me to learn such Spanish terms as “Salida” (Exit) and “Entrada” (Enter) because where else can you shop for home improvement items AND learn Spanish! Now I feel prepared to shop in places like Southern Florida, Texas or California! How nice of them!

The article goes on:

But the store’s decision not to include bilingual signage reflects the deeper fears of certain residents and observers: that the real question about Target and Columbia Heights gentrification isn’t whether it will have short-term benefits, but rather whether, in the long run, it will severely reduce the socioeconomic and racial diversity of the neighborhood by spurring the development of more luxury and upper-class housing.

So.. here’s a question. Why can’t a neighborhood have racial diversity without bilingual signage? Especially when that signage would ONLY support Spanish and English? I think there are plenty of neighborhoods in the US which are rich in racial diversity and the bilingual signage is not the impetus for that. So what the author of this article REALLY means is that NOT having bilingual signage will offend the Latinos. And you know what I say to them? I’m OFFENDED that you continue to demand support for YOUR language for YOUR country when you are living in OURS. Get over it already and LEARN ENGLISH like all the OTHER IMMIGRANTS!
