Prize Comics Western's 1950 Bio-treatment of the Life of Joaquin Murrieta is Worthy of the Textmex Hall of Fame--Evil Gringos (Think 19nth Century Trump-heads), Wronged Mexicans y Mucho Mucho Mas More! #mextasy #textmex

 

The March-April edition of Prize Comics Western hit the newsstands in January of 1950 and this issue has a treasure trove of findings for you, my fellow stereotype-hunters!  Penciled by M. Bailey, the story has everything--gore, hangings, treachery etc.--most of it perpetrated by angry, racist gringo Californians hot on the lusty trail for gold, Mexican blood and more! 

The star/victim of "Robin Hood of the Sierras" is Joaquin Murrieta, "bandit"/national hero/corrido-fodder from California history.   More on Murrieta here. 

An added treat for followers of the #bizarrecaucasianbestiary hashtag on blogger, tumblr, instagram, and facebook? None other than "Sandy" the self-wetting rubber doll! Ack! 

mas info!

For more info on Murrieta, California history, and other alleged "rogues" of the Western era, look up  Revolvers and Pistolas, Vaqueros and Caballeros: Debunking the Old West (Intersections of Race, Ethnicity, and Culture) by Cuban cultural critic and librarian Danilo H. Figueredo.

Only click the image below if you have a strong stomach for the "entertainment" below, the "Shoot the Illegal Immigrant" game via addictinggameonline.com--take your pick of targets: the "Mexican Nationalist," the "Drug Smuggler," and, most lurid (and most convincing cultural artifact proving the merits of Tex[t]-Mex, the "Breeder." Write in your comments on the site and let's bring this game down.

Jan Brewer, Certifiably Filled with Anti-Mexican Rage, Hate, and, Not an Ounce of Intelligence!

I see the game-plan now, torn from the pages of Karl Rove--latch onto the basest human sentiment, declare it a reality, come out against it, scapegoat it, loathe it, malign it, hate it, make fun of it, etc. In short, the logic of manufacturing hate, or, making good people hate, as Philip Zimbardo has it. Brewer knows what she's doing and we have to do the same.
