Representing La Raza
Now Playing: "Kid" by the Pretenders
KXAN News reporter Julie Shields interviewed a young Latino girl earlier today to get her thoughts on the meaning of this seemingly perpetual protest in favor of illegal immigration that's been sweeping the country lately. The girl, a middle school student who might be all of 12, said that she was out on the streets of Austin today "trying to represent la raza."

Yeah? La Raza, eh?

I strongly, tongue-bitingly disapprove of this racist nonsense. Not just because the people who have an interest in promoting La Raza are too embarrassed to admit to mere outsiders (i.e., American citizens) that they are, in fact, endorsing racism in its most literal sense, but because America has paid an enormous price in blood and treasure to be rid of racism. And now we're supposed to nod and smile approvingly at this child as she spouts racist bullshit about The Mexican Race? No fucking way.

La Raza means The Race. I know enough Spanish to know that, so don't perpetrate like it means something else, by God.

Can you imagine how Big Media and the people they keep misinformed would react if millions of white people were walking around the streets of America this afternoon chanting nonsense about "Das Volk"?

That's how good an idea this shit is.

So knock it off, put away your Mexican flags, and at least pretend to be grateful for living in the greatest country on Earth. Okay?

A culture of losers who couldn't keep Aztlan
Who couldn't keep the Mayan kingdom
or the Aztec lands
The Olmecs and Incas and all of those folks
Have way too much pride for being such jokes
Even the Spaniards who came from afar
were enough to dissect them
into what they now are
So why is it true
that they have so much false pride
for ancestors who couldn't make the cut
and so easily died?
Your kingdom is nowhere
your heroes a sham
SO LOVE THIS GREAT COUNTRY
or all of you scram!

La Raza sounds great until you look back
on the plain common sense
that you all seem to lack

Embrace the new culture
in our nation of many
For if you bite the hand feeding you
you soon won't have any.

Bienvenidos, amigos. Behave yourselves.

Black Power. Red Power. Brown Power. It's not meant to be pleasing to you, gringo. It is by definition politically incorrect. The "racial" consciousness is a response to a long history of anti-Mexican racism and race-baiting. What do you think, that all this started last weekend? Heh heh. Racism is always about a power differential. "Aztlan" is nothing less than the brown Zion. Many of these people are angry brown Zionistas. Texas went majority brown about two years ago. Stay tuned for further developments.

I might have to get out my ten foot pole. I agree that the Aztla crowd are just the Zionists of Central America. After that, we'll see the Chinese movement for the "reclamation" of the West, and they will outnumber even our new hispanic countrymen.

I didn't believe you at first, Jimmy, but then I looked up your IP address. Sure enough: you're emanating, as it were, from one of the end zones at Giants Stadium.

That's a very interesting comparison between Zion and Aztlan.

Guess it all comes down to qualitative judgements.

You know: who's done what with what they've got.

Then came again the age of the city-state: walled-off municipalities and principalities ---with roads to serfdom everywhere.
