Politics and our Media


A Letter to the Editor

POLITICS AND OUR MEDIA
RUBIO AND CRUZ-ARTICULATE, FIGHTERS AND 1ST GENERATION USA CITIZENS. They are NOT the type to ACCEPT any patronizing media overtures as other minorities did in the 2008 Presidential Race.   They are not falling to the "minority factor"..  add to this, their sense of independence and that no political pundit is feeling anything crawling up their leg…as these two HOMBRES OF CUBANO ROOTS battle it out  for the highest political office in USA and the Free World..whatever is left of it! 

THE MEDIA HAS SHOWN its TRUE COLORS-WHITE AND BLACK!  ALL viewers by now should have noticed the absence of Latino/Hispanic/Brown-face/Mexican-Americans/Cubano or even Anglos who are well versed in the Hispanic and Cuban Culture from whence these TWO HOMBRES come from. 

HIPOCRACY AND BIAS is alive and well in an arena where most of the workforce seems to evaluate, criticize and make side-bar remarks about what is going on or not going on in the world of ETHNIC ROOTS AND POLITICA!  The management of the National Media and Cable news has already expressed their jovial sensitivity to a variety of life-styles and social and biological preferences and they are OK with their present personnel pedigree. Largely missing from this encompassing group is the presence of more than two colors which appear to be mostly white and black.  SO WHERE IS THE OUTCRY from THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY whose roots can be traced to 21 different Spanish Speaking Countries and more importantly the USA?  NO!  You don't have to be a Republican to see the inequity, but it should be obvious that there is something definitely wrong with this picture-which at the moment seems to be "White and Black."  The Political Race for Hispanics is too important to leave it up to Journalist Gorge Ramos!

GOOGLE PHRASES OF CULTURAL INSENSITIVITY IN 2008 TO FULLY APPRECIATE THE ABOVE OPINION: 






I MUST ALSO ADD THAT EVERYONE OF THESE FOLKS WHO SPOKE FROM THE HEART AND MIND WHEN CRITICIZED OR WERE ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION….THEY LATER ADDED THAT THEIR COMMENTS WERE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT…HMMM,  How convenient!

AMIGOS….The HEART AND MINDS never express things out of context!

WE NEED TO READ, HEAR AND SEE IN OUR MEDIA PEOPLE WHO ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE USA COMMUNITY!



OPINION

Only a small % of people write letters to their respective newspapers.  There are pros and cons and once people commit to expressing their opinion, they have to some extent define themselves.  Our 1st Amendment Rights continue to separate US from the rest of the world. 

Thank You
