Viva La Raza
Viva La Raza(The People)
When one of us say Viva La Raza, we refer to our own people, not a race.
Mexicans are actually the only ones who say “Viva La Raza”, People from El Salvador, Honduras, Colombia, Brasil, etc. do not say this despite we being the same color skin and probably “race” as well.
This is a common mistake that media and people like minutemen like to exploit, they say we are racist because we say Viva La Raza. When its closest translation is probably “Long live the People.”
People doubt this and refer to spanish translations of ‘raza’ and read that it says race, spain’s spanish is different from Mexican spanish. Mexican Spanish is a dialect of Spain’s. Castellano is what is spoken by the Spaniards.
I think you are right, “raza” Is not race, we are not racists, even if there is racism against us, the minutemen are the racists , i fucking hate those fuckers,i’d like to say to them,CHINGUEN A SU MADRE.
That is all for now, ese, VIVA LA RAZA
Yay!
Rarely have I seen a dialog with meaningful ideas being exposed. I myself am a new generation of Chicano. Out of the 300 million people living in the U.S. Latino’s comprise of 75 million, with in that 75 million the largest minority is from Mexicano origin. I myself am from the so-called Generation Y yet; I am from the micro trend of the Manexo, which is the New Chicano/a generation. We are huge and many of us are of voting statute I believe Mark Penn a political strategist calls us Latino militants. We are a new generation, which believes that the conservation of Nuestra Familia de la Raza is in higher need. We are also much more religious and fixed on understanding the past to safe guard our future. Much of the community I come from is achieving the MEChA philosophy of education. I myself have a PhD from the University of Chicago in Political Science and most likely will be voting for Hillary Clinton. Historically her husband is the only president to appoint many true Chicano/a’s into cabinet office. As an organic intellectual I come from the bottom and know the best of both worlds and I perceive in a different way. If Bill Richards is to be elected by his party I will vote for him but the guy is a genius on international issues so I would rather have him be secretary of defense. As for Barack Obama I guarantee that he will become a new Supreme Court justice when Hillary becomes president. The future looks good for now. Thank you, Manexo
