Shame on Arnold's Racism

September 12, 2006

On September 2nd, this is what Arnold Schwartzenegger said in a taped "closed door meeting":

"I mean Cuban, Puerto-Rican, they are all very hot."
"They have the, you know, part of the black blood in them and part of the
Latino blood in them that together makes it."
 

Discovering that Arnold is racist is not very surprising. His behavior and comments in the past have been boorish, such as groping women and being stupidly confrontational with groups he dislikes and saying he would kick their ass if they crossed him. It is pitiful we expect this kind of behavior from Arnold in the first place. But here we are and we do.

Arnold is basically a knucklehead, incompetent in politics and incapable of effectively running a large state. When he speaks, people cringe and criticize. He certainly deserves it.

If Arnold wins this year, Californians deserve what they get. It is the "fool me once shame on you but fool me twice, shame on me” situation. But like Arnold, Californians “won't get it”.

Shame on them and Arnold.
