State Rep. Manny Espitia (D-Nashua) received a nasty gram from some racist douchebags. Everybody is claiming to be offended and should be. It is unacceptable. But do they believe that beyond the opportunity for media-hyped political posturing?
Is it part of them or just part of their politics?
We believe it is unacceptable to measure anyone’s value based on their race, sex, or religion. We like MLK’s content of character positions which – in the current progressive culture is unacceptable. So, when Democrats step up and say they oppose race-based hate in a situation like this, we feel obligated to step back and examine that from 30,000 feet.

Let’s start with this.
“No person should ever be threatened because of race, ethnicity, nationality, or their identity,” Espitia tweeted. “I will continue to fight against racism in our world. I won’t stop because of Neo-Nazis.”
No person should ever be threatened because of race, ethnicity, nationality, or their identity. I will continue to fight against racism in our world. I won't stop because of Neo-Nazis.
Let this be a reminder that #NHisnotInnocent and racism does exist in our state #NHPolitics https://t.co/9lSgIJmLdd

I stand with you and agree with you completely, Mr. Espitia, but do you believe it?
Before we try to answer that, let’s look at this.
New Hampshire House Democratic Leader Renny Cushing, as well as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, condemned the threat. Cushing said New Hampshire residents “must stand together to denounce hate speech and racism against all Granite Staters.”
Does this mean the NH Democrat House caucus, including Mr. Espitia, Leader Cushing, and the rest, are going to do a complete 180 on teaching critical race theory (CRT) in the Granite State?
CRT by design enflames racial stereotypes, hatreds, and division. It teaches race hate and teaches hate toward anyone who tries to point out that it’s race hate.
If you are honest about your concern beyond the politics of the moment presented by actual racists*, you’ll need to decide if you can continue to condone teaching CRT’s systemic racism in public schools and government.
You can’t value people beyond race and still support teaching Critical Race Theory.
And no, I’ve not looked up the voting records yet, but that’s coming.
*Note: The group is identified as the National Socialist Club. I think that’s a typo. These a**holes call themselves the Nationalist Social Club, and these are unpleasant people prepared to use violence and intimidation to attain their goals.
We want the people of Nashua to keep their eyes and ears open for any activity. The group appears to have consolidated its movement in New England, which suggests the hate directed at Rep Espitia is the beginning of an effort to establish a stronger presence in Nashua.
We use our reach and resources in any way we can to expose that so locals can work to stop it.
