Some believe that Minority President Trump’s Attorney General Sessions represents the New Jim Crow, because Sessions expressed a liking for the KKK in the past and he attempted to imprison civil rights workers who were helping people of color to vote. That’s wrong. Sessions is a throwback to the 1940s Jim Crow. That’s 75 years ago, the good old days.
Of course, Sessions would be the first to say that he’s a blatantly racist little puke. Well, maybe not the first.
Because I accidentally brought up the subject of racist pukes, I should comment on Sonoma’s sheriff, Killer Steve Freitas, who endorsed General Sessions. Sonoma must be one of the more progressive counties in the nation, but Killer Freitas actually promoted a frightened deputy who shot and killed a young teenager of color walking along with a toy gun. Killer Freitas believes that shooting unarmed children is a public service and deserves career advancement. His rationale (and the rationale of those who defended the deputy) boils down to this: a deputy has the right to kill any child who scares him. That’s how Freitas trains his deputies to protect themselves from the voters and why he promotes them. This leads me to wonder if we need a new sheriff, one who believes that Latinos have a right to life.
