Latin Americanization Of Racial Stratification in USA

(Eduardo Bonilla-Silva’s research paper from the SPRINGER on 13 January 2014.)

(Abstract) Aside from what exists in the U.S. there is another layer of complexity in Latin American racial stratification systems. They include three racial strata, which are internally designated by “color.” In addition to skin tone, phenotype, hair texture, eye color, culture, education, and class matter is the phenomenon known as pigmentocracy, or colorism.

Pigmentocracy has been central to the maintenance of White power in Latin America because it has fostered:

(a) divisions among all those in secondary racial strata;

(b) divisions within racial strata limiting the likelihood of within-strata unity;

(c) mobility viewed as individual and conditional upon “whitening;” and

(d) white elites being regarded as legitimate representatives of the “nation” even though they do not look like the average member of the “nation.”

A related dynamic in Latin American stratification is the social practice of “Blanqueamiento,” or whitening, not a neutral mixture but a hierarchical movement wherein valuable movement is upward. Racial mixing oriented by the goal of whitening shows the effectiveness of the logic of White supremacy.

Burma Navy Rescued Boat Muslims From Bangladesh

(The script of direct broadcast from the Myanmar TV MITV on 24 May 2015.)

Anchor Woman: Rakhine State Chief Minister U Maung Maung Ohn, Member of Emergency Management Leading Committee for the illegal migrants in the sea, Deputy Minister for Immigration and Population U Win Myint together with Special Envoy to the UN Secretary-General Vijay Nambiar and officials on May 23 visited the temporary relief camp at the Alae Than Kyaw village in Maung Taw Township that was opened for boat people.

Deputy Director General, Maung Daw District Immigration Officer, Saw Naing: There are many boat people here. A group led by Lieutenant Commander Kyaw Zayar Oo from Myanmar navy ship No.568, found a boat loaded with boat people, stranded at the Myanmar's sea territory. There are 208 boat people on it. All are boat men, including helmsman, and there are 17 crew members and 3 Bangladeshi interpreters.

They found two trawlers, one is loaded with 208 people and the other one is just empty. The trawler is 68 feets in length and 17 feet in width. According to them, both of the trawlers can carry at least 400 people. We provided shelter and humanitarian assistances to them as well as informed to the concerned regional officials.

Boat Muslims Are From Bangladesh Not From Burma

(Arakan State Chief Minister Maung Maung Ohn’s May-22 Interview with VOICE.)

Arakan Chief-Minister Maung Maung ohn.

In recent days there are heavy political pressure from international community concerning the thousands and thousands of boat Muslims now being stranded on the open waters of Andaman Sea supposedly from Burma and Bangladesh.

Our country has been unfairly accused of violating the human rights of so-called Rohingya Muslims and forcing them Bengali-Muslim illegals to flee by dangerous boat trips to Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Following is VOICE Journal’s interview with Yakhine State (Arakan) Chief Minister U Maung maung Ohn on those matters.

Voice: In international media most of the boat Muslims are being described as the Muslims from our Yakhine State. Do you have anything to say about those accusations?

Maung Maung Ohn: International media always dumped on us whenever there are the Muslim troubles in our neighbourhood. Now they are falsely accusing that all those boat Muslims are the refugees from Yakhine State. Actually all those people on the boats are part and parcel of human trafficking going on for a very long time in Bangladesh.

Obama The Muslim Is Refusing To Fight Islamic State

(Amir Taheri’s article direct from the NEW YORK POST on 19 May 2015.)

Why ISIS is beating Obama’s coalition! In September, President Obama announced a US-led “broad coalition” assembled to “degrade, and ultimately destroy,” the Islamic State (ISIS). Eight months later, the terrorists are stronger than ever.

This month, when the Islamic State launched a massive attack on the large Iraq provincial capital of Ramadi, the government in Baghdad did what it was supposed to do under Obama’s “strategic plan”: Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi called for a meeting of the US-led coalition to coordinate action against ISIS. Very soon, however, it became clear that no such meeting would ever take place. The coalition, supposedly consisting of 50 nations, simply has ceased to exist, if it ever did exist.

According to Iraqi sources, al Abadi then lowered his expectations by meeting US Ambassador to Baghdad Stuart E. Jones to demand intensified airstrikes on ISIS units advancing on Ramadi. The ambassador managed to convince Washington to conduct a few strikes, but not enough to tip the balance. The terrorists advanced into the heart of the city as Iraqi security forces and many of the inhabitants simply fled.

The NYC Play “Mohammad Gets A Boner” Got Cancelled

(Blake Niff’s article direct from the DAILY CALLER on 19 May 2015.)

NYC Censorship Event Gets Censored! A New York City arts center has canceled a planned event intended to protest censorship after one of the scheduled plays, “‘Mohammed’ Gets A Boner,” was deemed too offensive to Muslims.

“Playwrights for a Cause” was scheduled to be held at the Sheen Center for Thought and Culture on June 14, and was supposed to feature four short plays about censorship in art. In addition, revenue from the event was supposed to benefit the National Coalition Against Censorship.

Instead, the entire event has been canceled, thanks to one of the four entries. “‘Mohammed’ Gets A Boner” is a one-man performance by screenwriter Neil LaBute written specifically for the event. Its description makes it clear the play is intended to be somewhat shocking:

“The prophet “Mohammed” stands on a barren stage, recalling the first time he made love to a white woman. Is this reality or a theatrical convention? Where do the lines between ‘satire’ and ‘censorship’ intersect or is nothing sacred when it comes to the theater?”

Population Explosion In Rapidly-sinking Bangladesh!

(SCRIBD: Bangladeshis- Unwanted guests in its neighboring countries by Aung Kyaw.)

Extremely crowded trains in Bangladesh.

Bangladeshi population, now at whopping 160 millions for a very small and slowly-sinking country, doubles every 30-40 years.

Bangladeshi illegal immigrants to its neighboring countries cause great alarm in India and Burma. The illegal immigrants’ issues have rocked Indian Parliament many times and caused strong protests from students, civil societies and many intellectuals.

The illegal immigrants pose great danger to the Arakanese people in western Burma, and the large influx of immigrants without any check could endanger Arakanese or cause minority in their own land. Some humanitarian activists are supporting these illegal immigrants without taking account of venerable people whose populations are very small.

Intern All Muslims In US: FBI’s Last Option To Fight ISIS?

(The article direct from the BARE NAKED ISLAM & ABC News on 9 May 2015.)

As the FBI increases surveillance of potential homegrown Muslim terrorists, the security threat level also has been raised at US military bases. The FBI has ordered more domestic Muslim terror suspects to be put under 24/7 surveillance in the wake of the Garland, Texas Islamic terrorist attack and a renewed emphasis by ISIS and other Islamic terror groups for potential American recruits to launch attacks at home, according to three FBI officials.

The officials told ABC News that agents have been ordered to review the cases of so-called “marginal” or “borderline” Muslim suspects, terms that had been applied to one of the gunmen in the Texas attack, Elton Simpson of Phoenix. FBI agents were familiar with Simpson and the views he espoused, but he was not put under 24/7 surveillance. He was viewed as being “more talk than action,” one agent said.

“We do not want to risk another marginal, homegrown Muslim extremist who was viewed as dangerous going active,” said one of the FBI officials. All three FBI officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly. Agents are now reviewing cases and “gauging” how many more targets should be placed under 24/7 surveillance.

University Of Western Sydney Segregating Females

(Ian Walker’s article direct from the DAILY TELEGRAPH on 14 May 2015.)

Men at the front while women are at the back rows only.

Radical group Hizb ut-Tahrir segregates males and females at UWS Muslim group meeting. The Muslim students group at the University of Western Sydney last night where men and women were asked to sit apart.  

WOMEN were segregated and asked to sit at the back of a lecture by the radical group Hizb ut-Tahrir at a Muslim students group at the University of Western Sydney last night. At the event in UWS Parramatta Campus, men and women were asked to sit apart. The Daily Telegraph attended the talk — and this reporter sat with the women before being politely told “brothers to the front” and “sisters” to the back.

The women were ushered through a door marked “sisters” at the rear of the hall, while the “brothers” entered through another door and were told to take their place in “the front five rows”. Tahira Khan, 23, from Campbelltown, said the room was divided for cultural reasons. “I think it’s the respectful way because whenever we pray we pray separately,” Ms Khan said. “It’s a religious thing which happens at the Mosque and outside too.”

100,000 Muslim Immigrants A Year Into US: Suicidal?

(Alex Swoyer’s article direct from the BRIETBART on 7 May 2015.)

The Muslim immigration warnings offered by Dutch politician Geert Wilders—who was in the facility in Garland, Texas, that was attacked by terrorists last weekend—seem to be coming true.

Wilders, who has asked his own parliament to hold an exhibition on the Muhammed cartoons from the Garland, Texas event, has warned frequently that high levels of Muslim immigration without assimilation to the Western world—Europe and the United States of America—are dangerous to the culture and values of the West.

Wilders, a featured speaker at the Garland event, has been on a terror hit list since 2010 for proposing to place a tax on the Hijab worn by Muslim women in the Netherlands. He has also been vocal about stopping all Muslim immigration into the Netherlands.

“Take a walk down the street and see where this is going,” Wilders, referring to growing Muslim immigration into his country, previously said. “You no longer feel like you are living in your own country. There is a battle going on and we have to defend ourselves. Before you know it there will be more mosques than churches!”
