Denis Kearney
Denis Kearney (1847–1907) was a California labor leader of the late 19th century who was known for his nativist and racist views about Chinese immigrants.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2012-07-02 )〕 Called "a demagogue of extraordinary power,"〔Charles J. McClain, ''In Search of Equality: The Chinese Struggle Against Discrimination in Nineteenth-Century America.'' Berkeley: University of California Press, 1994; pg. 79.〕 he frequently gave long and caustic speeches that focused on four general topics: contempt for the press, for capitalists, for politicians, and for Chinese immigrants. He is known for ending all of his speeches with the sentence "And whatever happens, the Chinese must go."〔Andrew Gyory, ''Closing the Gate: Race, Politics and the Chinese Exclusion Act.'' Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1998; pg. 111.〕
Kearney was part of a short-lived movement to increase the power of the working class, but after a few years his increasingly vitriolic language and his repeated arrests for inciting violence alienated many of those who he was trying to influence. When the economy grew stronger in the early 1880s, Kearney faded from public notice. He started an employment agency where he worked until his health began to fail around 1900. He died in Alameda, California, in 1907.
