Selena Gomez and ‘Her People’

The other day, Selena Gomez posted a yapping, pathetic picture of herself sobbing over the recent persecution, during which she says,” All my folks are being attacked”. An icon of the Mexican flag is attached to the movie. After the immediate reaction, she deleted the picture and posted the terms” Evidently it’s not okay to show empathy for people” .&nbsp,

( Pause. Near eyes. Unclench hands. Take deep breaths. )

Fine Selena, you dolt, you wanted attention? You got my attention. I usually only move my eyes when some Disney-brat-turned-harlot-turned-clueless-activist decides to insult herself by chiming in on earth activities from which they’ve been encapsulated their whole wealthy life. However, you have gone above and beyond the call of duty and exposed yourself as EXACTLY what the issue is. There will be no detail or decorum in this case.

You said,” My people are being attacked”. And by “my people”, you mean Hispanic people. opposed to any other races or people in the United States. And just in event we didn’t get it, your Mexican flag emojis dispels any possible question or mistake.

Despite your say, you’re certainly showing “empathy for people”. You’re engaging in prejudiced tribalism, which is the same kind of tribalism you’d yell and yell indignantly if you were bright and spoke the same language. Just Mexican people are your concern, Hispanic people. Because you’re Latino, you’re so upset that you’re ready to scream online about the deportation of violent criminals. You care more about their skin color than the fact that they are corrupt animals who prey on the honest.

And to the amount that you believe to care about people who aren’t Latino, it’s only in the context of the communist non-white lot vs. white bulk Manichean racial discrimination. Your temporary peace with another non-white immigrants did sever itself if your dream came true and all white people vanished tomorrow. &nbsp,

Without white folks to blame for issues for which you refuse to accept responsibility, you’d discover fresh complaints and would immediately launch an investigation into another “oppressor,” facing whom you’d once more find yourself fighting for “your folks.” No body color, race, or other class is immune from this inclination. It’s the story of human story.

So which is it, Selena? Are we all individuals, regardless of body color or race, or do you choose we separate ourselves into “my folks” and “your individuals”? Because here’s what I promise you is never gonna happen. Here’s what people of all skin tones is tired of. We’re done with the double normal. We’re done with you allowing yourself to bring lines in the sand while assuming that everyone else is different and forgiving while we wait for you to “draw lines in the sand” to defend “your people.”

Because if that’s what you choose, then I’m more than willing to stay deporting “your people” if it will reduce the murder and murder of “my folks” like Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Jocelyn Nungaray. Although I am aware that Venezuelans and never Mexican murdered Nungarry, I would assume that you would still prefer to cry for them under the general rule that all Latinos are “your people” rather than their 12-year-old target ( who is also Latina, but whose death serves only as a convenient diversion from your racist plan — you would have spoken out about it if white hillbillies had murdered her. &nbsp,

Then listen, Selena, because this second part is critical. Do you know why the majority of Americans support the widespread imprisonment of “your individuals”? It’s because small-minded haters like you and some of your people continue to isolate themselves as “your people” because of it. Your attitude of “your folks” is precisely your person’s worst enemy. With it comes a thickheaded refusal to adapt, to live, or to treat other people as equal. That might elicit approval within the barriers of self-isolating inner city neighborhoods, some of whose inhabitants have lived here for years and still can’t ( or won’t ) speak a word of English. But it doesn’t do much to improve the lot of “your people” .&nbsp,

You have the opportunity to live in a country, the only one of its kind, where hundreds of millions of people of all different races and colors can coexist peacefully and calmly without the Balkanization that afflicts so many of the rest of the world. E Pluribus Unum is the intended purpose. Out of Many, One. For the most part, this country has achieved that.

And it didn’t happen by accident. Our multicultural nation is the result of hundreds of years of deliberate, concerted efforts to change the traditional global pattern. And Americans black and white, rich and poor, urban and rural, Republican and Democrat, native and legitimate refugee have done all the big lifting, usually at great personal risk.

They did it by overcoming the group-based urge to self-segregate, which they did. They escaped from the mind-numbing slavery of tribalist identity, from which you derive your revolting claim that “your” rapists ‘ rights take precedence over those of “our” citizens ‘ lives. People who are willing to respect and love the other as sovereign individuals are the only ones who can maintain cultural cooperation. They must also look beyond their own skin color, look beyond” their people,” and look beyond their own.

But you, Selena, don’t think in E Pluribus Unum. You believe in “diversity is our strength”. And by that, you mean that “diversity” is a trojan horse that exploits the naïveté and misplaced sadness of hip liberals to further strengthen “your people” and just “your citizens”. If light German criminals were being deported, which most white Americans would also not have any problem with, you would have no problem at all.

For those who believe that Mexico is the center of the universe and don’t want anything to do with anyone who isn’t” their folks,” there is a place for them. That place is called Mexico. And there is a place for racial Mexicans who are aware that expanding one’s perspectives, expanding beyond one’s comfort zones, and having the joy and civility to assimilate into the host culture, including respecting its customs, practices, and regulations, are on the path to a better life. The area is known as the United States of America.

Let me clarify that this common applies to refugees from “my people” coming from light nations, whose recent arrivals are trending many more nationalist and ultra-nationalist than their wiser and humbler parents did, before slinging the tattered race cards.

For the record, “my people” came from Poland, and my great-aunt would have cut my throat in full view of the Thanksgiving guests had I made the mistake of calling her Polish rather than American. Despite the difficulties that the majority of immigrants from the lower class face, she firmly embraced this nation and never let any vulgar notion of ethnic pride stop her from acknowledging that there were legitimate reasons to leave the Old World.

Therefore, when I see a newcomer from Poland marching around his Polish pride every November 11 wearing a white t-shirt and a fake gold chain, I don’t see “my people.” I see a self-centered, ignorant moron, too shallow to appreciate the inheritance this nation literally handed him on a silver platter. If Poland is heaven on earth, well, nobody’s keeping you here, son.

Tim Scott and Thomas Sowell and Winsome Earle-Sears are “my people”. Ted Cruz, Enes Kanter, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali are “my people.” Not the dirt that our shackled ancestors trod upon, but rather our desire for freedom is what holds us together. E Pluribus Unum.

Selena, your idea of “your people” is as vile as it is antiquated. It is at the core of most of our remaining issues, and it has no place in Western pluralistic society. If the election has taught us anything, it’s that millions of people who you categorize as “your people” and who you conceive knowingly accept this designation and the racial supremacists who are their own, have broken free from that myth. This past November, millions of “your people” voted for E Pluribus Unum.

So wipe away the tears, kid. The fewer “your people” are eligible for deportation the more ethnically Latino people who choose to embrace American life. &nbsp,
