Racist game

Mr. Kevin Rodeo’s rendition of H.R. 18-34 as a “racist resolution” is a canon ball fired by an inept driven and callous calculating person that plays the “racist” game, and does not consider that he himself is a racist of the worst kind. It is ironic that after all these years of making a living in the NMI, Mr. Rodeo finds it convenient and appropriate to label the indigenous people of the NMI as “racist” people according to his term. Mr. Rodeo, if you have a racial affiliation, then you are a “racist” regardless of what and how you rationalize your ego and social trappings.

First of all, the H.R. 18-34 is a piece of legislative message to the U.S. Congress in support of the opposition of the majority of the citizens of the U.S. favoring the status quo in reference to the pathway to citizenship for some 12 million non-citizens of the U.S. Nearly 60 percent of the U.S. citizens population of the United States do not favor the automatic grant of citizenship to these non-citizens. The magnitude of the opposition is not just a few thousand, but more than 100 million in the U.S.. In Mr. Rodeo’s term of racism, is he saying that these U.S. citizens in the United States are racist because they raise a strong opposition to the idea of amnesty like immigration legislation by the liberals in the U.S. Congress?

The lad misses the point altogether, and has no inclination of what this type of messaging could draw from the indigenous people who are very patient to this time and not yet aroused by his intended stereotyping of my people as “racist.” The message to Mr. Rodeo is clear in that if a racist is a person that wants to preserve their culture, their heritage, their language, their faith, then you may call them racists, and so be it. But, then he is also a racist because of his ideological underpinning subjecting a group of people in their own motherland as subjects to be dissolved, disarranged, discharged, and disregarded like shooing a day fly because it is nuisance to the majority minority people that taking over the realm of the social order and civility from a people known as the Chamorro and Carolinian people who lived on and belonged to these islands thousand of years before Mr. Rodeo took his first breath of air after his birth in one of these islands. Are the indigenous people wrong for guarding and preserving their ancestral laws as a people?

Mr. Rodeo would not understand the deep meaning and sacred vows of the indigenous people about their islands and social life, and he would not find any rationalization to it from the liberal experiences he acquired from schooling and social indoctrination of influences by his presence in the California area or elsewhere, and neither would written laws make the case.

Mr. Rodeo, “racism” refers to outwardly acting unprejudiced while inwardly maintaining prejudiced attitude. Isn’t that true for you Mr. Rodeo? This connotation also applies to Mr. Gregorio C. Sablan who is representing the indigenous people of the NMI. If any of you who does not realize and internalize this human propensity and learned behavior, then please do explain your take on this as a human being. No one is an island all to himself, and still proclaim he is not a racist. The problem here Mr. Rodeo only demonstrated his infantile assertion for failing to recognize his own racist inclination and poorly reasoned proposition regarding the purpose of H.R. 18-34. Sociologist and former American Sociological Association president Joe Feagin posits that the United States can be characterized as a “total racist society.” Only a non-human being would declare itself as a non-racist, and that is my pet dog “Spot.”
