It’s bringing on a rant. Shortnotes: I went to sell some gold pieces in winter park once and I got severely racially profiled. I came home traumatized. By then I knew that I couldn’t go running to the police. For one thing, Central Florida was moving in the wrong direction and there was no specialized department for these kind of things. I figured I would just get the usual good ole boy response. And that was a concern, because I worried about blowback to my family.
See, the things I was taught growing up in a Latino family were that you worked hard and you kept your head down, oh and you saved like a miser. This accomplished two things: it kept you safe from being targeted, and it was the only path to financial security.
So, when I was racially profiled at the jewelers, by that time, I knew that I already had an uncomfortable exposure. Because people in my community were aware that I wasn’t going to go along with the fraud that was committed here years back, I was afraid to resort to a system that I knew could be derailed with one phone call.
So, yes, this is a calamity situation for the Latino community in Uvalde. Especially when the Latino leaders may already be indoctrinated to be go alongs. This is exactly the kind of personality that De Santis’ Anglo indoctrination camps are set to create.
