Remember Santa Cruz in Bolivia and all those democracy-seeking, poor, hard done-by locals cheered on by the English speaking press?

What they forgot to tell you was they are a bunch of racist scum trash bastards.

Don't waste any more time here. Go straight to this link from the excellently excellent "Abiding in Bolivia" blog (it's in English, don't worry) to find out how the separatists jumped on a group of indigenous people who were were beaten, stripped and forced to kiss the steps of the legislative house that previously proclaimed them "non-people" while watching the white trash burn their clothes. While you're at it, scroll down and find out about the Nazi youth hit squad in operation in Santa Cruz, and the extremely dubious background of the dude Simon Romero decided to interview for the New York Times. All pretty typical for the racist white scum of East Bolivia, it has to be said.

If you don't believe the blogpost, check this out from the only English-speaking newswire that picked the story up. Thank you Italy's Inter Press. As "abiding" points out, isn't it amazing how the major news media ignore the stories that don't fit into their version of reality.........
