Allegedly indigenous "president" Evo Morales is so racist that he refuses to hand his country over to the skinhead groups that want him dead, which is unfair and Mugabe-like.
In her groundbreaking exposé, Atlantic Monthly contributor Eliza Barclay explores how one little Indian stirred up race hatred in a country where repressive minority rule had been working so well for so many years. She asks the big questions: Why do the brown people hate us when we only want best for them? Is the Bolivian economy struggling because of the global economic crisis, or there something more Indigenous afoot? And why do they insist on calling it 'Bolivia' when God already gave it a beautiful name, 'Rhodesia'?
PS: The article is accompanied by a video, which hilariously undermines everything the reporter wrote in the story part, because the Atlantic has been taken over by racist Aymara terrorist hackers. So tricky, those browns.

BTW, I also find it strange that she doesn't mention Alvaro García Linera, Evo's VP--and the fact that he comes from the very white middle class that's allegedly turning against Evo. More inconvenient, contradictory factoids that can't be written into a racist hit-piece, I guess!

I wonder...if we substituted the word "Jew" in there for "Aymara", how would that hit-piece read?

Thanks Eliza! This is exactly why we can never let the Gypsies take power. They'd totally just lord their race hatred all over us.

What a collection of hacks and well idiocy. This may be the worst thing ever written on Morales. Ever.
Also the photojournalist who did the video, Evan Abramson is well known for his sympathetic views of the indigenous rights movement, but I guess the Atlantic is too stupid to have figured that out before hand.

The Atlantic Monthly is completely useless.
Highlight:
"When he expelled the U.S. ambassador and the Drug Enforcement Administration in late 2008, he killed a trade agreement with the United States that was one of the few lifelines for Bolivia’s exports. Depressed oil and gas prices have since meant less revenue for Bolivia, and less support from Morales’s chief mentor and benefactor, Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez. The only growth industry, in fact, appears to be coca."
OMG, even his little brown buddy hates him now :( They're probably snorting lines as we speak.
