Bolivia: Santa Cruz racist violence caught on camera

This video is not for family viewing. Do not click and watch if you find any of the following too upsetting;

1) young white males beating up old indigenous women in broad daylight

2) foul language in written English (as seen in the subtitles translation)

3) undiluted hatred shown by white people towards indigenous people, solely based on skin colour

4) the spectacle of gangs of whites beating up individual indigenous men because they dared to be in "their town".

5) etc



This one goes out to all the medialuna apologists. Watch and learn about the people you support.

dude, thats so disgusting, how can ANYone have an idea of being a "better race" than others- especially in the context of natives and "conquistadors".

hell yes, I feel sad and concerned about pictures like that. X-thousand years after we left the trees, mankind is still the same ( or even worse ) animal then ever.

It is honestly a travesty to see people acting like that. Evidence that Bolivia is a truely mid-understood country pretty much everywhere, including by fellow Andean Countries.

The racism and deep hatred of the elite in Bolivia is truely incredible to witness.

I've seen some of this before. The bitch assaulting the mestizo politician is sickeningly familiar, and I love how she gets someone else to hold him before she hits him, then exclaims a minute later that she's not a coward. Um, yeah, whatever, "lady".

Meanwhile, I think I've divined the reason for all this violence. It's desperation, and no wonder:

ABI linky

The Media Luna is falling to pieces like rotten green cheese. Too bad, so sad. I think I may translate that just for fun.

Last night I was watching a documentary about Selma in the '60s, and there's no difference between the scenes of Alabama troopers beating blacks in the streets, and these recent shots from Santa Cruz. These medialunistas are like the southern segregationists of that time--rabid and supremely irrational. They portray their cause as a struggle for pride and family, but to any observer it's obviously about power and money.
