An Anarchist responds to TKC

Local blogger Chuck angrily responds to TKC . . . Here's some choice quotes uttered by a typical blogger bitter over lack of traffic:

I really didn’t want to blog about this, but a certain attention-starved local blogger who thinks that is clever to add lame pictures of swimsuit models to his blog posts, is saying all kind of sensational, ridiculous crap about protests that are being planned against the racist Minuteman group’s February conference in Kansas City. According to this blogger, anarchists are planning to organize race riots. This local blogger sounds like he got his information about anarchists off of some cereal box . . .

Nope, I've received e-mail from people directly involved in organizing the protest and I'm quoting local anarchists directly along with press releases from the KMA - Which incidentally were never shown to other organizers of the protest against the Minutemen.

In fact, it's the anarchists who are misrepresenting themselves to Latinos only interested in peaceful protest. I've made their clandestine attempts public so this thing won't be a surprise to anyone . . . It's the anarchists who are using weird language, inviting (inciting) people to take "autonomous action" while promising to shut down the Minutemen Convention and it's anarchists who have a reputation for violence NOT organizers of the local Latino Community.

This isn't politics, it's TKC hoping that a community that's already been marginalized by the Mayor won't face further reprisals because of the actions of white college kids that can go back to their suburbs and wealthy families after causing havoc . . . Once again, it's worth noting that these folks clearly don't have the best interests of the Latino Community at heart and any cooperation with them is unwise.

Here's more:

I suspect that he is just trying to diss us anarchists in order to manufacture a bigger controversy. Hey, it works for sport radios, so why not do the same thing for your blog, especially when your swimsuit pictures start putting readers to sleep?

Kansas Mutual Aid, an anarchist group based in Lawrence, is calling for people to protest the Minutemen conference. Sounds like a good idea to me. If a group of racists and white supremacists come to your town, then you would hope that sensible people would protest them. It shouldn’t take a group of anarchists to get some protests rolling against a despicable group that has no business meeting in our community.

Ah, there it is . . . The typical supremacy that arises from so many white people when they are frustrated with people of color who don't fall in line with their orders . . . This part of Chuck's post is just plainly false. It is the KMA who have co-opted protests against the Minutemen.

TKC is simply informing local Latinos that they'll be on the hook for the actions of these people who have a horrible reputation around the Midwest and were kicked out of Greensburg just last year. I'm sure they are wonderful people (not really) but they have plainly already used the tactic of calling for "action" on behalf of unaffiliated people protesting the Minutemen and they are clearly operating under the radar of most of the protest organizers. Put simply, I've already proven that they aren't acting in good faith and the notion that the KMA "started" the movement to protest against the Minutemen is not only untrue but also just a tad condescending and bigoted. Kansas City's Latino Community (who have the most at stake in this issue) have been doing for themselves since anarchists were in Montessori School . . . Sadly, the organizers of this event have been misled by local anarchists and if local Latinos don't watch out they'll be used as cover and human shields for a radical political agenda that doesn't represent anything concerning the Latino Community in Kansas City.

Finally, Rage Against the Machine is overrated . . . That's right. I don't apologize.
