We Have Lost another True American
It is with a sad heart that I write this today. My eyes continue to fill with tears as I have lost a very good friend. Terry Anderson passed away this week of pancreatic cancer. Terry was very special to me, as he encouraged me with the strength of his convictions. While many Blacks moved out of the South Central part of Los Angeles Terry remained. He stayed because it was his home. Terry spoke with a great voice against

illegal immigration. In spite of the demographic change, not to mention the illegal nature by which it was done, he stayed and fought what he realized was in fact the destabilization of his neighborhood. Without realizing, until we met that he and I went to schools in the same area. We both were very much aware of how beautiful that area was. Not the place that is depicted in the main/lame stream media. No it was at one time

a place where one could raise a family without fear. Well maintained yards and a community that cared, and took pride. Most have no idea of what it was like, but we did. I had the opportunity to appear on his show and during some down time while off air we had the time to talk. Terry’s eyes would light up when discussing the strides that have been made regarding Black Americans. But his demeanor would become enraged when

discussing illegal immigration. Recognizing that the struggle for Black Americans has continued, discrimination has once again reemerged. This time it is at the hands of illegal immigration. While visiting with him one Sunday, he took me for a ride in the old neighborhood. As we passed by all the fast food restaurants it has very clear that Blacks were able to enter those establishments, but they could not work in them. I know

many people that visit this site will find this difficult to believe. It is one of those little secrets that know one wants to talk about. He and I were congruent in or thinking because we both saw it happening year by year. I shared a story with Terry, about a friend of mine. Willie had a thriving stucco business. He hired two other people and myself. We worked all over the San Fernando Valley, as a matter of fact that job help get me

through school in the mid seventies. After getting my A.A. I went to work as a welder, I didn’t see Willie for about a year. When we did by chance meet, I asked him about business. He lamented he was unable to get any jobs. I was puzzled because Willie was always busy. When I inquired what was the problem, this is what he told me. He reminded of one of his employees. Nacho entered this country illegally, he was a very

skilled “stucco-man” and a hard worker, a couple of the reasons Willie hired him. To make a long story short, Willie found out that Nacho was going behind his (Willie) back after making a bid at a prospective customer, and under-cutting his bid, thus getting the job. For those that think this doesn’t happen on a grand scale, just look at your local home improvement centers. Contractors struggle with this aspect of illegal

immigration all the time. I could cite several stories, like the time a friend (a White guy) and me. I won’t mention his name, spent the day filing out applications at fast food establishments all over this local area. We were not surprised at the results. Not one positive response form any of those applications, that he and I were both qualified to do. I say all of this only to try and illustrate the rage that Terry, me and many Americans

are feeling, and goes unreported by the mass media. Overt discrimination has evolved, and this time Whites AND Blacks are the victims. This is but a snippet of the rage that Terry Anderson was conveying. He just as anyone that speaks to the truth that is really taking place in the U.S. will continue to be marginalized as bigots or racist. I shall miss my friend, he was a true American, that stood for the rule of law, understanding

the dynamics of a surplus of labor and what it dose to the working mans’ ability to negotiate a decent wage. Terry and I both understand that this is not ineptness on the part of the so called leaders, rather this is the plan to destabilize ALL U.S. citizens. Today by enlarge Black Americans are feeling the beginning assault, but it is a matter of time you and yours will also be affected if you haven’t already. “Today it is me… tomorrow it

is you”. In the passing of my dear friend, I only lament that his passing signifies, the struggle continues, and we are not “ONE” nation under God. Am I the only one that notices when ever there are Haitians trying to illegally enter the U.S. they are turned away, or incarcerated until a deportation hearing? And well they should be turned away….because it is ILLEGAL!!! The impotent-Obama’s aunt should have been deported as well….but some of us know a thing or

two about the privileged in America. Terry may be gone but his spirit shall remain in my heart. And I along with others will continue the fight for our nation, and recognize men and women, like Terry shall always be an inspiration to liberty, freedom , the rule of law, and the sovereignty of the United States. Rest in peace my dear friend.
