CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The young Texas mayor whose keynote speech wowed the Democratic National Convention crowd Wednesday night draws political inspiration from his mother – who is a member of a radical civil rights movement and who reportedly thinks the truth behind the Battle of the Alamo is that Texans swiped Mexico’s land.
Maria del Rosario Castro, the mother of San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, said in 2010 that she grew up being told the battle was “glorious,” only to learn the so-called heroes were really “a bunch of drunks and crooks and slaveholding imperialists who conquered land that didn’t belong to them.”
“But as a little girl I got the message -- we were losers,” she told New York Times Magazine. “I can truly say that I hate that place and everything it stands for.”

Re: “...you won the battle, but we won the war...”
Someone should explain this to the Palestinians.
whatever...
Voters in San Antonio often flirt with socialists, heck, even elect them.
He was kind of strange and he won’t make it anywhere in Texas when this gets out. Must have been well hidden when he ran for Mayor of San Antonio of all places. He didn’t appeal to me at all.

As a Pennsylvanian (we had people from here who fought alongside the Texans who died there) as well as American (I admire the Texans), I am very offended. I’d drive her back to Mexico for free.
She is an activist with lulac, the Hispanic version of NAACP ....what a disgrace to San Antonio !
Well said! Martin Luther King Jr. said we should judge each other based on the content of our character rather than the color of our skin, these idiot, Democrat’s have embraced racism, I guess they still are the party of the KKK, now, they want to enslave all of humanity, these Castro clowns need to be defeated, they are racists, and they are harmful to this great nation, Hispanics had better speak up or this country will turn into the cesspool they fought and died to leave!
Hey, just like the Democrats, you could say they are the party of child sacrifice, seeing as how they love abortion and the killing of babies, they might as well sacrifice adults too, oh, they already do that through entitlements, sick, the whole lot of them!
Was ours.
And the cowardly rats sit there and lap it up! Pathetic how deep Their self hatred runs.
Mama is a founding member of LaRaza. What do you expect from these racist, anti-American radical separatists?
Her son is no Marco Rubio!
Nice... the Dems are now endorsing those who would overthrow the boundaries of our country. The mask is completely off on these traitors.
OK, Maria....you are a LOSER, per your own words.....LOSER.
Invite her up to the podium! Let’s have a speech from mommy! She’s inspiring.
It`s no wonder the Americans kicked the crap out of Santa Anna and his army, just go down there to the San Jacinto monument...........a Big American Battleship U.S.S Texas ..sits nearby, that`s the unfair advantage .
(sarc) ? (tongue in cheek)? just ask the non English speaking students.
So she preferred the sadistic butcher, Santa Ana?
“But as a little girl I got the message — we were losers,”
She’s right; years before losing in the Mexican-American War, Mexico lost a war against Texas...
