hola americanresistance,

did you drink enough pulque tonight to feel brave enough to mess with wordsmith Nez? good luck with that.

jeje. americanobliviousness, don't even get the xicanas on your case, bro. i advise you just crawl back behind your defunct website and practice for your next mad dash through nezland.

Ok, 'Merican Resistance, he goes back to his place and you get on boat and go back to England or Ireland, or whatever the roting open sewer of a hellhole you got away from in the first place.

Marley was right, if you don't know your Past, ya can't know your Future...

you said it, rafa.

If you know your history
then you know where you're coming from
Then, you don't have to ask me
who the hell do I think I am

—Bob Marley

Ay American Resistance,

Todos nosotros chicanos aqui *si estamos en casa*! Aqui, California y los otros estados del suroeste-- Nueva Mexico, Tejas y Arizona, oh y tambien en el sur de Florida-- son los lugares de nuestra hogar.

Oh, I'm sorry, you're Minuteman so you're too stupid to speak anything other than bad English, so here goes again:

We *are* home, dude. We live here, have lived here for centuries. And yeah, you'd better learn your Spanish fast (not to mention respect our customs in general) cuz they're enshrined *by law*, the law that the US and Mexico agreed on in 1848 and laws passed thereafter.

You see, señor, unlike what you Anglos like to claim, the Mexicans in that nasty little Mexican War you perpetrated back in 1846-48, weren't pushovers-- we fought hard, especially in our historic homelands in California and what are now neighboring states. So hard that by 1848, even as you were occupying Mexico City and Veracruz, you knew you would not be able to suppress the popular uprisings. We had freely moved across that "border" for many centuries, and we demanded our continued basic human rights to still do so. Therefore in a series of treaties you conducted with the Mexican people-- and in the laws passed afterward especially in California, with the Latino population in mind-- you agreed to fully respect Spanish in the public sphere (that means government, ballots, schools, hospitals, libraries, offices), to respect Latino property and territorial rights, to lend full respect to our customs and holidays, to allow free cross-border movement, and treat our people, language and culture as an equal to Anglo people, language and culture.

Some Anglos were respectful of this tradition, but other racist Anglos-- i.e., your predecessors-- were not.

Unfortunately for you, we've never forgotten the rights that are guaranteed to us.

Nunca nos hemos olvidado, y nunca vamos a olvidarnos!

Hombre de Resistance-- we Latinos are again becoming the majority in not only California but also in New Mexico and Texas, soon also in Arizona and even in the southern portion of Florida, in our historic homelands. So much so that our own Latino brethren in places as far away as Missouri and Kentucky, Wisconsin and Minnesota, Iowa and Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia, New Hampshire and New York-- they are moving back to our historic homelands in the Southwest to join with us again.

We would like to live peacefully side-by-side with Anglos like you Resistance, but for this to happen, you must "assimilate" just as we have-- and that doesn't mean assimilating to the Anglo rulership. It means assimilating to the bilingual community here, speaking and writing fluent Spanish in your daily work even as you use English alongside it, and accepting and celebrating our culture alongside yours.

So you'd better improve your Spanish fast, Resistance.

Porque pronto viene el dia, cuando no nos vamos a traducir todos nuestros pensamientos para ti!

gracias por la hermosa historia y la dura verdad, hermano. i could not have said it better myself.

Es un placer compartirlo, amigo. Ahorita es mi espera que nuestros hermanos y hermanas Latinos en otros partes del pais nos unen aquí, especialmente en California, Nuevo Mexico y Tejas principalmente, luego tambien en Arizona y en Florida. La región de estos estados se convertirá en el núcleo de nuestro pueblo reavivado.

Como mi primo activista antes me explicaba: "La cosa mas importante para el pueblo Latino es reunirnos en nuestra tierra del hogar historico en el Suroeste del EEUU, al principio en California, Tejas y Nuevo Mexico, pues en Arizona y, después de 2010, en Florida. La dispersión del pueblo Latino en otras partes del EEUU es nuestro enemigo principal. Los Latinos aislados en estados lejos de nuestro hogar histórico en el Suroeste, lejos del area de nuestra fuerza demografica, política y social en el banda de estados de California a Tejas-- ellos suelen perder su vínculo a la comunidad y su herencia, a veces hasta casí perder su identidad como Latinos. En la Costa Este en estados como New Jersey, Pennsylvania, las Carolinas y Georgia (de donde yo vengo originalmente), y especialmente en el Midwest en estados como Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, Tennessee, Kentucky, Iowa, Michigan y Oklahoma, no tenemos una presencia demografica suficiente o histórica alli y también encontramos la hostilidad organizada de los Anglos. Deberíamos fomentar que nos mudemos de esos estados, y congregar en nuestros tierras natales especialmente en el Suroeste. Porque allí, nosotros nos estamos convertiendo en la gran mayoría y tenemos el poder-- en nuestros números, concentrado en los estados de nuestro hogar histórico, tenemos fuerza. Solo a través de este movimiento vamos a reclamar los derechos que se nos prometió en 1848!"

Mi primo es un genio en los asuntos de la organización política y yo hice caso a sus consejos. Nosotros originalmente vivimos en New Jersey, Pennsylvania y Georgia nos mismos, pero luego nos mudamos a los estados del Suroeste. Me mudé a California mi mismo, mientras él se mudó a San Antonio en Tejas, y otros primos se mudaron a Albuquerque y otros lugares en Nuevo Mexico. Y afortunamente, aunque hay idiotas y imperialistas Anglos como American Resistance, la mayoría de los Anglos que permanecen en California ajustan bién a los cambios-- mis amigos Anglos han aprendido español y a ellos les gustan hablarlo, también reconocen nuestros dias de fiestas y costumbres, incluso aprecian nuestra historia aquí y nuestras raíces como pueblo en este territorio.

Además, a mi me gusto mucho más el tiempo en California. :)

Porque mi Español no es muy bueno, tengo que usar Inglés un poquito...pero yo entiendo, y estoy de acuerdo con muchas de tus palabras. I spent a lot of my life on the east coast. Too much time in cities like you mention. But lately, a lot of things have been in the air, and changes are underfoot and raza is coming together porque we must para la gente, en solidaridad. This is why ahora, yo vivo en Oregon y am making my way abajo, back to las calles y la ciudad de mi nacimiento, Los Angeles. It won't be much longer.

Gracias for your thoughts y palabras y tu fuerza y la voz, amigo.
