A Sonoran Truth Editorial, in re: (http://www.sonorannews.com/archives/2013/130515/letters2e.html)
Does anyone doubt that Don Sorchych is a bigot? He supported the Aryan nation having their annual meeting in Cave Creek. Don’s clearly anti-Mexican, and his explanation of why a swastika cartoon in his paper wasn’t pejorative became pejorative. Dagos, Spics, Krauts, and Pollacks. The only thing Don didn’t say was the “N” word. But then, not many Blacks in Cave Creek, so Don really doesn’t have to make an issue about it.
We could rail against Don about being a racist, but as we were thinking about what to say to Don’s swastika neighborhood cartoon, we saw our Cave Creek, founded in 1870 sign and began to think about racism in a historical context. Let’s face it, Cave Creek wasn’t “found” in 1870. Humans have been living in this area for thousands of years. When white folks, predominantly Mormon Christian white folks say they found Cave Creek, they mean the U.S. Cavalry killed off all the Indians, and made it safe for the real humans- the white folks to live here. Even the name of out town, Cave Creek, is caustic. The Cave by the Creek is where the last Apache were killed. No wonder our town is filled with so much dissension and how appropriate that someone as racist as Don Sorchych would run the town’s paper.
The only thing missing in the Swastika cartoon are signs saying no Blacks, Mexicans, Indians, etc. Because “once off your driveway you’re in the land of the enemy!” What a dimwitted view of the world.
Dear Editors at Sonoran Truth,
I read the Swastika article and couldn’t agree more than Sorchych is a dimwit. In fact he’s a downright fool and dullard to boot. Being anti-Mexican is only the start. He ran all the Mexicans out of Cave Creek and shot himself in the foot doing it. But he still doesn’t get it. Who does he think used his Laundromat? The wealthy residents of Cave Creek who have their own washers and dryers? Noooo…..the Mexicans were the users…..dummy! They left and took their business with them. Don’s business immediately dried up. In fact, there was NO business. Then the idiot tried to sell the business. Who did he think would buy it? There aren’t any customers! This guy is as dumb as a box of rocks.
