Apparently protest organizers have learned very little from the recent riots in France, perpetrated by “Muslim youths,” or the ones by Muslims who objected to a few Danish cartoons. When all the auto and flag burning finally subsided, most onlookers were left with an uneasy feeling about the protesters. It didn’t help their cause.
Now we’re seeing the “immigration marches” in major American cities and people are feeling that same uneasiness. First they’re led to believe that these gatherings are somehow spontaneous. Getting hundreds of thousands of people in the same place at the same time is never spontaneous. Especially when they all happen to wearing the same outfits and carrying the same professionally printed signs.
This is where the organizers went terribly wrong. First, the average American has been told that not all the immigrants in question are originating south of the U.S. border. If that’s the case, why are the protest signs in Spanish and why are the protesters carrying Mexican flags? The average American has also been led to believe that these “undocumented workers” are simply here to pursue the American dream. They just want to work hard and be productive…Americans. Fine. So why aren’t these hard workers working? Why are they marching down the street disrupting those who are trying to work? And if the students are claiming that what they want is an education, why are they storming City Hall instead of sitting in a classroom?
It’s a visual thing. Consequently, the average American sees a bunch of angry people holding a Mexican flag on the front page of his local newspaper and he starts asking a lot of these questions. Another one he might ask is:
What is the significance of the white T-shirts?
The last time he heard about gangs of Hispanics wearing white T-shirts was when he was watching the local news and there was a story about white T-shirts and Hispanics and that means “gang.” Gang means crime. So these people in white T-shirts, marching down the street carrying Mexican flags are…criminals. Democrats like to refer to this method of thinking as “connecting the dots.”
If this average American gets past the front page of that newspaper, he might see that it includes department store ads in Spanish. If he flips to the classifieds, he’ll see job ads written entirely in Spanish. Several ads written in English might look more appealing, but if he isn’t bilingual he need not apply.
If he has a job and he’s headed off to work, he might notice that there are a lot of billboards in town that are also in Spanish. If he listens to the radio, he may hear all-Spanish stations and even on non-Spanish stations he may hear PSAs that use actors who speak with heavy Hispanic dialects. He might question the target audience. If it’s payday, he might question where half his paycheck has gone.
Is he a racist? Not at all. He’s simply connecting the dots. If this American lives in the West, he’s been familiar with these dots for a very long time. But now, after all these marches have been on the news almost non-stop for a week, Americans in other parts of the country are now beginning to see what Westerners know as commonplace. Now they, too, are connecting the dots. And what happens when you connect all the dots? A picture emerges.
This one’s not pretty. And it might just be too late for any future protests to erase that initial image.
