Racist Hindus in Texas: "I don't want no negroidal or a black person touching my food

Didn't the Mormons say the same thing about the people of Ham or some shit like that?

This dude seem to pick and chose religious text to fit his racist agenda, I guess he is a convert, they do describe him as white, but there are light skin Indians (the original Indian type) so maybe he is of Indian background.


I am sure if we look at some religious sermons from the confederacy days we would find preachers using the Bible to make their case for Slavery.

 

Freedom of religion means freedom to be Christian.

 

I thought only white people said stuff like this.

 

Doesn't the article describe the man as white?

 

silly me not reading the article.

 

"My creed encompasses vedism, and vedism in it's etymology means knowledge," said Thomas.
In court documents, Thomas uses verses from the Old Testament of the Bible that speak about people of color. ​

​

Mass literacy is not the glorious development in human history that I once thought it was.

I suspect this guy read something somewhere about the original "Aryans" migrated from India, then took his firmly grounded racism to a wikipedia entry on the Vedas. Packing such intellectual heat, he goes into a grocery store and gets huffy about a black person touching his grocery.

Props to the manager and the owner of the store, by the way.

 

Cold have been worse. Being Texas, he could have been carrying some actual heat, and shot up the place.

 

The real racism: piss-poor reporting.

Now you can chalk those up to accurate reporting of a sort, but most decent reporting uses the brackets to turn local vernacular into the King's English. Leaving the quotation as is may be more popular, but it's shoddy and allows the racist asshats in this country to reinforce their existing beliefs about how black people talk (btw, there is no correlation between skin color and verbal eloquence - only SES and verbal capacity).


However:

 

See? My point exactly. I didn't see that the first time through, and the article leads you to think the racist is addressing them both.

Nailed it.

 

The man is using the caste system in India or Hinduism to justify his racism.

Because the Caste system TOTALLY informs US civil rights!

 

God damn Sharia Law!

 

True, we used to just have priests around to misinterpret texts for us.

And this guy sounds like some white boy wannabe, about as "Hindu" as an abortion-doctor-killer is "Christian".

 

How about watching the video next time, instead of leaping to the wrong conclusion and climbing into the bully pulpit?

 

Props to Heather in the comments section: "Who does he think picked his veggies?"

Classic. And this guy needs to be beaten. What a retard. Next thing that comes out of his mouth will be some quotation from the Constitution

 

Shiva.
