Video: Proud to Be An American Racist


This edited video is a compilation of some of the worst of the minutemen that Friends of Day Laborers screened at the Che Cafe. It seems redundant that we keep saying the worst of the Minutemen but there is always more material to add. The more time we are forced to spend with them the more awful they get...

This video includes footage from the Minutemen rally in McGonigle Canyon of November 11, 2006. The Minutemen singing an array of patriotic songs is from the canyon. Their purpose at the canyon was to protest and remove the migrants who had been living there for 30 years. The Minutemen felt that they had a right to move people out of their homes and steal from them. It was later discovered that the Minutemen went into the canyons before their protest and stole the bikes, cooking utensils, and propane tanks of the people living there...

Other footage is from day laborer sites around San Diego County. Some of it is repeated from other vid but some is new.

Disclaimer: We realize that there is a lot of footage featuring one or two minutemen. Please do not take this to mean that they are an anomaly. The Minutemen as an organization and those who support them believe it is reasonable to harass, antagonize, threaten, mace, tote guns along the border, physically abuse, as well as terrorize and invade communities.
