Bo Sears
A few years ago, San Jose was run by a religious-minority mayor and a racial-minority city manager. This combo is to be found spread around the political, educational, communications, and corporate worlds, and it is usually the very worst possible combo for our interests. There will always be a large surge in anti-white defamation and hate speech, not to mention extreme efforts to enhance affirmative action, police bashing, and virtuous minority propaganda. This was true in San Jose’s city hall at that time under that regime.
The Combo
We see the same pattern, although reversed, when we observe President Obama’s posse. He’s a racial-minority president. Many have forgotten that his vice president has a significant religious-minority background (half) — it’s what allowed Biden to vote, purple finger and all, in the first Iraq election. And Obama’s number one aide is named Rahm Emanuel (all religious-minority). If we are “wasps,” the inner-White House is a veritable nest of coiled rattlers seeking prey for their hatchlings.Back to San Jose. Thanks to the artsy pretensions of the religious-minority mayor, a monthly arts magazine was established by city hall and distributed free around town. Sooner than later, the monthly magazine featured a snarky essay by a young hot-shot religious-minority lawyer from Palo Alto asserting that “white art” and white artists were just too thick on the ground in the local arts world. (Slogan: “Sometimes they’re white, sometimes they’re not.”)
He larded his essay with numerous salty labels to illustrate his loathing, e.g., honky, gringo, goyim. There were more, but those were enough to trigger our sensibilities that a smear attempt with city tax dollars was under way that could include imposing some kind of affirmative action quota limiting Euro-Am artists. This can be important because San Jose has a policy that for every public project/investment, no less than an amount equal to 2% has to be spent on art. I need not remark that the vast proportion of this art is lame or, as we say now, artistically-challenged.
Efforts Ignored
We worked hard to educate the city council, the mayor, the human rights commission, and the monopoly San Jose daily newspaper. We wrote letters. We demanded apologies. We couldn’t motivate any of the city’s movers and shakers to take note of this attack on civility.
A Lobbying Firm
So we looked around to see if there was a vulnerability inside city hall through which we could invade, and we settled on the city clerk’s statutory duty to register lobbying firms. We started a lobbying business by the ironic and sarcastic name of “Honky, Gringo & Goyim” and that put the cat among the chickens. It got us traction, it got us denounced, and it got us declared too sensitive and illegal. We beat the last charge by doing actual lobbying for a rule change to ban racially-charged labeling in city publications. And it brought about the death of the monthly arts magazine, which was not at all our objective, but it certainly killed opportunities for religious-minorities and racial-minorities to use city tax dollars to slander us with that publication.
Strange Attack
The strangest attack on our public-spirited lobbying firm came from a European American who denounced us viciously and bitterly for validating honky, gringo, and goyim by making them a matter of public record. We could only wonder how his episodic outburst disorder had been medicated when the monthly arts magazine had published the terms in a non-ironic and non-sarcastic way earlier. It was a humorous footnote to the entire incident that an attack was turned on us as the publishers of denigrating terms.
Closure
The lobbying firm? We followed the city ordinance to the letter, and withdrew our lobbying apparatus. One of our goals is, of course, to educate other members of the diverse white American peoples about how to talk and, while we were completely white-centric and using our white voice only, the hullabaloo was so loud that I doubt we accomplished that goal at the time. The whole matter has receded into a hazy story of success, not at all remembered as the wildly radical action it was thought at the time.
