Mexican Revolutionaries in America
Accuracy in Media ^ | June 3, 2010 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on 06/04/2010 3:47:56 AM PDT by Scanian

One of Bill Ayers’ courses at the University of Illinois includes Pedagogy of the Oppressed as required reading. Author Paulo Freire, a Brazilian Marxist, declared:

“This, then, is the great humanistic and historical task of the oppressed: to liberate themselves and their oppressors as well.”

It turns out that the Freire book is required reading in “Raza Studies” or Mexican-American courses in the high schools in Tucson, Arizona, where students have been protesting Arizona’s new immigration law. Other required books are Occupied America by Rodolfo Acuña, a professor emeritus of Chicano studies at California State University in Northridge (CSUN), and Prison Notebooks by Antonio Gramsci, the Italian Communist.

Occupied America, the fifth edition, includes an image of Fidel Castro on the front cover, and Castro and Che Guevara on the back cover. It refers to white people as “gringos” and actually includes a quotation on page 323 from Jose Angel Gutierrez of the Mexican American Youth Organization (MAYO), who was angry over the cancellation of a government program. He declared:

“We are fed up. We are going to move to do away with the injustice to the Chicano and if the ‘gringo’ doesn’t get out of our way, we will stampede over him.”

There is much more anti-white racism in the world today than there is the reverse.

Once upon a time intelligent people laughed at Hitler and his absurd fantasies.

I thought that AZ passed a law which made it illegal to teach race-oriented subject matter.

This is the reason why I refer to groups like La Raza, MEChA, MALDEF, and other Hispano-Racist groups as the HISPANIC KU KLUX KLAN....

If white anglos preached this kind of racism....the liberal media would be calling them racist. Its time to refer to Hispano-Racist groups as such

Just here for a "better life" (sniffle).

Amnesty whores itemize why they oppose Arizona's law at Phoenix Capital protest, May 29, 2010. Odd that Mehican prez Calderon did not tell the Congress and Ohaha all o' that (/snix)

This comes straight out of the Mexican government's handbook taught in US schools. Accuracy in Academia investigated "ethnic studies" and uncovered damaging material in the high schools of Tuscon, Arizona. Paulo Freire (a Brazilian Marxist)'s book called Pedagogy of the Oppressed is required reading in Arizona's "Raza Studies" (ie, Race Studies), otherwise known as "Mexican-American courses."

Another favorite is "Occupied America" by Rodolfo Acuna, professor of Chicano Studies at California State University in Northridge. "Occupied America," according to the invaders, includes a map of Mexico in 1821 which includes the American Southwest. A choice quote from "Occupied America." It gives us an idea of material Hispanic students are being exposed to in Arizona public schools: "We are fed up. We are going to do away with the injustice to the Chicano and if the 'gringo' doesn't get out of our way, we will stampede over him."

Another priceless gem: " Angel Gutierrez of the Mexican American Youth Organization attacked the gringo establishment angrily at a press conference and called upon Chicanos to "Kill the gringo,' which meant to end white control over Mexicans."

THIRD WORLDERS HATE AMERICA AND AMERICANS The savages vow to "Kill the gringo! Stampede over him! Rise up and overthrow the White oppressor in a bloody Communist insurrection! "

Hey Ayers, why don’t you tell the Spanish who Invaded South America to stop “Oppressing” the Native Peoples of that continent and go back to Spain.

And tell the “Native Peoples” to quit oppressing the local flora and fauna of this continent and go back to Siberia.

Reconquista shock troops. Signs seen at Phoenix Capital protest, May 29, 2010.


But, but, when Calderon whined about Arizona, he didn't tell the Congress all o' that (/snix)

===================================

REVVING UP RECONQUISTA The Mex govt is creating conditions to drive millions of invaders into the US to begin Reconquista....and is even facilitatting drug cartel gun violence to hurry the process.

Mexican govt is cuing its citizens over the border......creating new classes of US refugees whining to get tax-subsidized "Political Asylum to protect them from Drug Wars."

HOW? Social Security has a "persecution" classification (originated when Eastern Bloc refugees claiming religious or political persecution. (AND GET THIS: Connivers from circa WW II eastern Europe and other Soviet satellite countries are STILL collecting).

The Mexican govt is coaching its citizens to pour into the US, whining about "persecution from drug violence." Some of these whiners are wealthy phonies, squatting on US soil, intent on draining the US treasury.

THE RIPOFF UP CLOSE A Social Security category provides outrageous government financial aid to "refugees" claiming "persecution from drug violence." These phonies never paid a dime into the SS system; yet, they can collect seven years straight...... and can get extended payments if they are politically well-connected. The SS checks can amount to $1000 a month, and more.

In fiscal year 2008, the US government received 47,459 asylum claims and granted 10,743 - a decrease over the previous year's 54,957 applications and 12,807 approvals. (Immigration attorneys insist that asylum applications won't spike if the administration expands protection to battered women of spousal abuse).

======================================

MORE WAYS THAN ONE TO DRAIN THE US TREASURY Illegals are crying "domestic violence" to collect. "How are asylum authorities going to substantiate these claims when we know that domestic violence is a complicated thing," said Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the advocacy group Federation for American Immigration Reform. "This is getting the US into personal relationships, and that's not where asylum law ought to go."

Mehlman said his organization opposed expanding the asylum law (which was created in 1980 largely as a means for Communist Bloc citizens to defect while visiting the US in a diplomatic role.) Backers of the law at the time estimated that claims would average around 5,000 a year and drop off significantly after the Cold War ended.

====================================

Most of this money goes back to their home states and into federales' pockets. Corrupt Third World governments obviously use the same playbook---"How To Personally Profit By Draining the US Treasury."

Can you imagine whites having a group named “the race”?
That such a thing is allowed in public schools is an ignorant disgrace.

The True History of the Southwest,” by Matthew Bracken

The fallacies surrounding the history of the Southwest are staggering, chief among them the “Aztlan” fairy tales. What is the truth? How did the Spanish Europeans conquer the Southwest? The “conquistadores” (that means “conquerors”) did it with the lance, and the lash.

For example, in 1541 Coronado entered present-day New Mexico (which included present-day Arizona during the Spanish era) searching for the “lost cities of gold.” One of his first actions upon meeting the natives was to burn hundreds of them alive in their dwellings, for not handing over suspected horse thieves. That is how Spain conquered the natives of the present US Southwest—not with hugs and kisses. It was certainly no love-fest between long-lost brown-skinned soul-mates, as it is often portrayed today by the delusional Aztlaners, who spin the “new bronze race of Mestizos” toro-mierda fable.

By 1821, Mexico City was strong enough to overthrow the even more decrepit and ineffectual Spanish colonial rule. However, the distant provinces of the current U.S. Southwest were far beyond the reach of the authority of the independent but strife-torn new government in Mexico City. These distant northern provinces received neither military protection nor needed levels of trade from the south. Under Spanish colonial rule, trade with the USA was forbidden, but at least Spain provided trade and Army protection from hostile Indians. Under Mexican abandonment and neglect, the Southwest received neither trade nor protection from Mexico City.

For example, Comanches and Apaches ran rampant in the 1830s in the power vacuum created by Mexican neglect, burning scores of major ranches that had been active for hundreds of years and massacring their inhabitants. Mexico City could neither defend nor keep the allegiance of its nominal subjects in these regions. Nor did it provide needed levels of trade to sustain the prior Spanish colonial era standard of living. Mexican governmental influence atrophied, withered and died at the same time that American pathfinders were opening up new routes into the region.

Increasingly, a growing United States of America was making inroads into the Southwest, via ships into California, and via wagon trains of trade goods over the Santa Fe Trail from St. Louis. The standard of living of the Spanish inhabitants of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas subsequently increased enormously, which is why they did not support Mexico City in the 1846-48 war. In fact, the Spanish-speaking inhabitants of the Southwest never considered themselves “Mexicans” at all, ever. They went, in their own eyes, from Spanish directly to American. To this very day, if you want a punch in the nose, just call an Hispanic native of New Mexico a “Mexican.”
So how long did Mexico City have even nominal jurisdiction (in their eyes) over the American Southwest? For only 25 years, during which they had no effective control, and the area slipped backwards by every measure until the arrival of the Americans.

The Spanish inhabitants of the Southwest never transferred their loyalty to Mexico City, because all they received from the chaotic Mexican government was misrule, neglect, and unchecked Indian raids.

Since then, how long has the area been under firm American control? For 150 continuous years, during which time the former Spanish inhabitants of the region, now American citizens, have prospered beyond the wildest dreams of the Mexicans still stuck in Mexico. To compare the infrastructure, roads, schools, hospitals etc. of the two regions is to understand the truth. The Mexican government has been mired in endemic graft, corruption, nepotism and chaos from the very start until today. The ordinary Mexican peons have been trampled and abused, while only the super-rich elites have thrived. This is why millions of Mexicans want to escape from Mexico today, to enjoy the benefits of living in America that they can never hope to obtain in Mexico.

And because today Mexico is a corrupt third-world pest-hole (despite having more millionaires and billionaires than Great Britain), we are supposed to let any number of Mexicans from Chiapas, Michoacan or Yucatan march into the American Southwest, and make some “historical claim” of a right to live there?

From where does this absurd idea spring?
At what point in history did Indians and Mestizos from Zacatecas or Durango stake a claim on the American Southwest? Neither they nor their ancestors ever lived for one single day in the American Southwest.

The Spanish living in the Southwest in 1846 stayed there, and became Americans by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. There were no Spanish inhabitants of the Southwest who were marched to the border and driven into Mexico. It didn’t happen. The Spanish in the Southwest welcomed American citizenship, which brought stability, protection from Indian raids, and a vast increase in their standard of living with the increase in trade with America.
In summary, no current inhabitants of Mexico have a claim on even one single inch of the American Southwest.
Not one single citizen of Mexico is sneaking into the United States to reclaim property their ancestors were deprived of. Not one. They are criminal invaders and colonizers, pure and simple.

It’s time Americans learned the true history, as a counter to the currently prevalent “Aztlan” fairy tales put out by “La Raza” (The Race), “MEChA” (the Student Movement for Aztlan) and other radical anti-American groups.

Actually, the Dominicans did it with the cross. When that was not totally accepted the Presidio’s used the lance.

The quest for gold followed the Dominicans. Killing for Christ was the modus operandi

The sole purpose of the majority of these grievance groups is for some members of the group to eventually achieve power and wealth. What so-called benefits would these groups achieve for their purported constituents? What would individual Hispanic-Americans actually gain if these groups achieved their goal of some sort of Hispanic takeover of certain southwestern states?

Nothing, except for their inevitable impoverishment at the hands of the people who are supposedly "helping" them. Think Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. As American citizens Hispanics, like all Americans, have it in their hands to achieve and prosper more than in any other country in the world.

So this idea propagated by these radical Hispanics that somehow individual Hispanic-Americans lives will be vastly improved under some sort of Hispanic independence is complete balderdash. Disaster awaits them, not freedom from Gringos.

These people are just as dangerous to Calderon as they are to us. Think about that one. These guys want a COMMUNIST greater Mexico, led by a Hugo Chavez type and assisted by our “Friends” Russia and China.

Look what's made it into the public school curriculum in parts of Arizona. One hopes that the Arizona Homeschooling Community is growing.
