Today Los Angeles talk radio host Terry Anderson was featured as a guest on a Colorado radio show anchored by anti-immigration firebrand Peter Boyles, where the black commenter stated that newly-arrived Hispanics want "kill everybody who's not like us."
Anderson was on the Clear Channel-owned KHOW radio station to discuss what both anchors called the "ethnic cleansing" of blacks in Los Angeles at the hands of Hispanic and Latino gangs, a widely discredited story that is undermined by tenuous evidence, hearsay and conflicting hate crimes data from the local government in L.A. County.
Here is a transcript of what was said when Anderson was talking about immigration to a Los Angeles neighborhood:
When Hawaiian Gardens was 70 percent something else there wasn't any violence there at all. There was zero violence there when it was 70 percent something else. When the numbers get high—and I'm not making a blanket statement about Hispanic people, I know lots of 'em, they're great folks, lot of great Americans, patriotic and everything else—but the newly arrived ones, when they get to a certain point in our schools, in our jails, in our prisons, when they get to a certain percentage they attack. They attack.
That is the M.O. that has happened here in California since day one with the newly arrived people coming from these war-torn places with this mentality of 'kill everybody who's not like us, we don't want them in or community, we want it homogeneous like it was where we came from.' And that's what's going on here."
Anderson then went on to characterize newly-immigrated Hispanics as extraterrestrials in the blockbuster movie Independence Day, citing one scene where a caged alien tells his captors that there can be no negotiating and that they have come to wipe the human race out.
"They don't wanna get along with us. They want us out of here. They want us gone," said Anderson, amid Boyles' calm agreement.
The last time Anderson was on Boyles' show he made an absurd claim that Hispanic students were starting "race riots almost on a weekly basis."
While it's no secret that radio waves in the United States today are chock-full of misinformation and blatant racism, there is something uniquely disturbing about a narrative that paints entire ethnicities as "war-torn" savages hell bent on killing everyone.
Especially when it comes from Anderson, who has a radio pulpit that reaches four large urban populations in the western United States.
