I am a Latino Klansman

So many Latino names and faces emerging in the alt-right Charlottesville rally/riot and KKK. Have Latinos joined the quest to be the next Irish, Italians, Jews? To "become white"? (whiteness used to be restricted to Anglo Saxon Protestants) Of course. It's been like that for a while, but not to this extent before, I don't think. There's deep desperation here on Latino's part, to fit in. And there's desperation on these white supremacist group's part, they must be strapped for membership, and trying to prove they're not racist, just concerned about white people's place in an uncertain future where Latinos and other immigrants will surpass whites (in population terms! Don't worry), and hoping they'll help maintain power (see? I told you not to worry. They won't surpass you in power. You can train them!)

A devil's bargain. Hate groups accept Latinos who hate and blame the same people they do, Latinos who will throw poor Latinos under the bus too.
Latinos get acceptance and the feeling that they're better than section 8, welfare collecting brethren who thinks the world owes them something. Of course, this involves making gross generalizations, but no matter. You know there's at least *some* stereotype fulfillers, and, hey, you're getting to wear these cool outfits and to troll people.

But how happy are you? Something's missing and broken inside. You yearn for a holy war, but then you'd be bored if you killed all your enemies. Deep down you believe that redeeming is much more meaningful. But you need a better job, and you're pissed at people on welfare because you're not doing much better than them by working.

Or you're in college and women are everywhere in power on campus taking out hatred of men on you, and passing oppressive rape laws, and you need to start a revolution that creates an America that rewards the best mental genes that rise to the top out of the barrios and from across the borders, that brings eternal renewal to our country , by deporting, by exterminating, or by sending to work camps the parasites on the top at the Federal Reserve and UN and media and big banks and Soros, and all the parasites at the bottom who hit you up for money but have a welfare mentality themselves.

But what if you're really boring and unoriginal, perhaps slow or unloveably weird, just another person whose resume is so-so, what if you get discovered? Discovered as desperate? You need enemies to distract from this. And you need to show you're down for any and everything, in excess.

Even if you worry you're not special, at least there's a bunch of whiners out there thumping Rules for Radicals and Communist Manifestos as they rage about identity politics whom you can point to as the *real* whiners. You selfish dividers focusing exclusively on your identity group. American has no color.
I should know, I'm a Latino Klansman.

People used to shut me up every time I expressed negativity, so I don't know how to love others who express negativity, because I don't know how to love myself. No one came to attend to me when I cried. Or, if they did, I got called a pussy. Then when a woman - a woman!- called me a pussy one time, I knew I had to shove it all into a black hole. Now anyone talking about reparations and privilege and "safe spaces" is done. Life isn't fair. This is America. Get over it. Fuck away from my hard-earned money you jealous crab. Get your own! The stars and stripes means motherfucking freedom you Muslim Nazis and hey did you know Hitler was a Socialist? #makeamericagreatagain #maga sorry do I offend you, you must hate free speech too

I could be the next person to be rich as Jay-Z, rich as Trump! But you lazy liberals want free everything, at *my* expense, by taxing me. I'm struggling with debt and my job is high pressure and I don't see my family often and I think my wife is turning my kids against me but I can just *taste* that big money, that Trump sized net worth, right around the corner. But Democrats, you know those n***as and wetbacks and Jews [there's a difference between Black people and n***as,  Latinos and wetbacks, it's just that there's more bad than good, I'm just a special breed] and libtards possessed by guilt are only thing preventing me from getting there.
Fuck em. This is war.

This is war. Who cares if Shirley Sherrod had to be taken down due to doctored tapes that made her sound like a reverse racist. Reverse racism is real. Who cares if Planned Parenthood provides the only accessible necessary services in town for poor people. This is a Holocaust against babies. Yet y'all want my tax money?

My tax money is only going to F-16s, and badges on patrol against animals who hate the police and law and order anyway. Who cares if a few Iraqi or North Korean children get incinerated, the best defense is a good offense. Who cares if a few people get racially profiled, it is Black people and my disowned brown people coming from the bad neighborhood doing all the crime anyway, who cares if I myself get stopped, here's my ID officer, better safe than sorry. Did I take the words out of your mouth, officer? Btw, I'm not one of *those* Latinos. I'm more like Zimmerman. I'm your self appointed lapdog. Notice me. Recognize me. I'm Latino and validating everything you say. Isn't that good press for you? Need me. Please for the love of God, can I finally be indispensable for once?
