Hunting Humans: The Americans Taking Immigration Into Their Own Hands

I urge for the Mexican drug cartels to please stop killing your own Mexican citizens in Mexico and CONCENTRATE your immediate attention on these type of outright blatant racist xenophobe gringo "ranchers" who "enjoy" hunting down our undocumented immigrant Raza along with their dogs as if on a "hunting safari" along the Texas / Mexico border near Falfurrias, Texas in the Rio Grande Valley! Michael and Linda Vickers who head the "Texas Border Volunteers" and their white ilk are nothing more than offshoot self-styled Minutemen terrorists aka K.K.K. who claim to "enjoy" hunting Mexicans and Central American undocumented migrants while heavily armed and laugh at the misery and humiliation they cause to those crossing our "borders"! Espero que ustedes senores de los carteles tomen cartas en el asunto de inmediato y protejan a NUESTROS inmigrantes indocumentados por medio de USTEDES! Estos rancheros gringos racistas son NUESTROS enemigos a MORIR y USTEDES ya saben lo que tienen que hacer con su "equipo" de vigilancia! Gracias. AL GRITO DE GUERRA SENORES CARTELES! E.F. Mohammed Martinez - Racist Xenophobe AmeriKKKa's Worst Nightmare! LET THE WORLD KNOW! DEJENSELO SABER AL MUNDO ENTERO!

THE WHITE SUPREMACIST VERMIN FILTH OF MURRIETA, CALIFORNIA…, A KKKLAN TERRORIST LEGACY IN BROWN JIM CROW AmeriKKKa

THE FOLLOWING COLUMN IS MY PERSONAL REPLY TO THE "CONCERNED CITIZENS COUNCIL (KKK) OF MURRIETA, CALIFORNIA AND TO THE REST OF WHITE RACIST XENOPHOBE AmeriKKKa!

LET THE WORLD KNOW! _______________________________________________________________

It’s not surprising as the townspeople of Murrieta, California’s white supremacists have demonstrated to the nation and the world over who have witnessed on their media screens the worst of AmeriKKKan “humanity” for what it’s worth in the U.S. that has to offer with their exposed authentic attitude and behavior towards those who do not look like “them”…, especially Brown innocent minor CHILDREN! To the world in its entirety I say to them; “Welcome to AmeriKKKan apartheid Brown Juan Cuervo (Jim Crow)" where racism and fascism is still alive and well at this point in time throughout this nation which our anti-Raza xenophobe (Fear of the unknown) enemies call ‘…The land of the brave and the free’!” In my personal opinion, AmeriKKKa and its white racist xenophobe two legged larva “people” can simply and unceremoniously shove their Red, White and Blue piece of rag they call “Ole Glory” up their cracKKKah hate filled extremist traseros (asses), for lack of a better street barrio term as far as I am unapologetically concerned!

To these cracKKKah knuckle walking gringo Neanderthals, have NEVER acknowledged the existence of “those” people of color, Red, Brown and Black who also happen to be the original inhabitants of this continent “they” colonized by the force of arms since arriving from Europe several centuries ago as “they” term themselves as the “founders of America” when actually “they” committed PILLAGE, PLUNDER, BLACK SLAVERY, THE ALMOST EXTERMINATION OF THE NATIVE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, JAPANESE AMERICAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS, STEALING OF MEXICAN LANDS (AZTLAN) AND OTHER CONTINENTAL AND GLOBAL ATROCITIES…, all in the name of “AmeriKKKan democracy”!

These same Euro-AmeriKKKans have ALWAYS lived with a state of siege mindset with deep suspicion towards people of color with a “benign” plutocracy (government controlled by the ruling wealthy class) apartheid system which they call “the free enterprise system” which in all reality all it is in its naked form…, is the exploitation of the American working class in general aka CAPITALISM! However, ot to get out of the subject issue at hand, but it’s important to note that AmeriKKKan capitalism is seeing it’s “best” days coming to a halt as the new generation of the working class in this nation are now more educated, politically minded and taking corporate AmeriKKKa to task as they are a growing stronger resistance people to be reckoned with who are no longer tolerating their working meager wages and exploitation lot anymore! The working class in America is also now demanding, not asking, for higher living wages of up to $15.00 an hour and higher! I wouldn’t doubt the white working class members of the Concerned Citizens Council (KKK) are “piggy backing” from the gains of the working class in the struggle! Today’s classic living example of modern day ongoing racism and fascism can be traced to the blue eye Devil sons of an extremist rightwing co-founder of the ultra right wing John Birch Society…, the Koch Brothers and other of their ultra wealthy adherent ilk. Many in this nation, myself included, highly suspect the RepublicKKKlansmen Koch Brothers had something to do with “influencing” ($$$) the U.S. Supreme Court “Justices” to be swayed in favor to “vote” in favor to make Corporate AmeriKKKa be considered as “people”. Rightwing Corporate AmeriKKKa can now dictate who can rule this po piss nation of incest inbred CracKKKah small hick run townships (Murrieta, Ca.) to the biggest cities with impunity by spending their BILLION$$$ without limit ala CORPORATE AmeriKKKa FOR SALE!

SOLUTION? …DEFY, RESIST, REGISTER AND VOTE AGAINST THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE OUR BEST INTERESTS!

Having said this, since day one when a Black man, U.S. President, Barack H. Obama aka “The Chief Reporter” of undocumented immigrants, was popularly elected with 71% of La Raza whom today that same percentage is totally disappointed for voting for him in 2008 and 2012, nevertheless, those race hating simmering Satan’s white racist offspring from within the earth’s deep crevices they call “home”, all of a sudden this nation’s Neanderthal ultra-nationalist AmeriKKKan two legged dog lice larva and their super rich vermin filth sponsors (Koch Brothers, et al.) decided to burrow themselves out from down under their own bottom pit excrement filled Maggot infested outhouses along with a few of their lackey mercenary whore$ of “color” for hire, i.e., hacienda “brown” peon tail wagging lap dogs with the likes of a one Raymond Herrera, a Minutemen member which I have had previous several confrontation encounters with this COWARD who was seen taking part with the Murrieta mob, (which I saw him on the news feeds), and the roaming Stepnfetchit plantation house kneegrow, *Ted Hayes, another Minutemen member married to a white woman whom I have also personally crossed words with him a few years ago at the former “Occupation L.A.” city hall’s front steps, as he called his fellow white supremacist Minutemen terrorist colleagues; “…They’re my brothers!”

Yes, these RACE TRAITORS of “color” are still out there alright, including Herrera whom my close sources have confirmed that they saw him there in person and was last seen on the news media “protesting” alongside with his Murrieta white slave masters attacking those CHILDREN too! Yes, there is no doubt their gringo slave masters have their own useful RACE TRAITOR self-hating rabid guard dogs of “color” whom they unleash against their own Black and Brown people too. (As of late, Paul Rodriguez, the comedian and actor has also just come out against these Central American CHILDREN as well on CNN and other Spanish language media. I have initiated a Face Book “BOYCOTT PAUL RODRIGUEZ THE RACE TRAITOR COMMITTEE!”)

Make no mistake! Our enemies have exposed their Manifest Destiny agenda without shame for the world to witness without shame! The news media in both languages have reported that the KKK has been on a campaign to “recruit” members for their white supremacist organization. It would not surprise me in the least bit if this is connected to the white Concerned Citizens Council (KKK) from Murrieta in Riverside KKKounty and its adjacent San Bernardino KKKounty are notoriously known for these and other Neo-Nazi entities thrive out of their own Satan’s sewers!

The “new” and “improved” Klaner Klown Knight Riders of AmeriKKKa are not lynching Brown folks…, at least not yet that I know of! Oh no! Murrieta, California’s Mayor, Alan “The Grand Wizard” Long and his fellow KKKlaner townsfolk outright attacked enmasse 140 defenseless undocumented immigrant minor CHILDREN while inside the ICE (Immigration, Customs & Enforcement) buses from ages of five years old and on up without concern for their safety! These enemies showed absolutely no concern or compassion for these CHILDREN as this incident was widely witnessed on a national and world much publicized aggressive and physical attacks like wild white dogs gone on a frenzy rampage! The defenders of these traumatized CHILDREN on the three ICE buses were also attacked themselves in the fray. This exact Murrieta, California white lynch mob mentality reminded me of almost 60 years ago how Black Americans were attacked and hosed down with high pressure fire hoses in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and throughout the Deep South during the Black Jim Crow segregation era! …NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

What the nation and the entire world witnessed without denial on July 1, 2014 in Murrieta, California in Riverside county was “White Racist America Gone Wild” as they attacked with sheer racial hatred against three ICE (Immigration, Customs and Enforcement) busloads with 140 children! Aa few of them were accompanied by their mothers! The behavior of these rabid racist xenophobe extremists were no different like those animals on the loose at Wild Kingdom Park as the visitors roll up their windows so the animals do not attack them. The only difference was that the rabid snarling and barking white two legged wild animals on the loose of Murrieta got close to their “prey” (CHILDREN) as “they” were snarling with full of racial hatred at the behest of their KKKlaner KKKlown town’s Grand Wizard, Mayor, Alan Long. There is absolute no doubt the local white townsfolk were behaving much worse than the real animals at Wild Kingdom! At least the animals at Wild Kingdom are kept in their own environment…, what’s the Murrieta enemy camp’s excuse, hmmmmm….?!

If Murrieta, California’s white segregationist apartheid mindset townspeople are not related to the same former segregationist Deep South incest inbred kinfolk from that era of 60 years ago “they” sure fooled me alright! It seems this Murrieta white vermin filth was short of wearing the exact replica of their own mother’s “stained” white bed sheets and two holed pillow cases without missing a beat! I swear ole Adolf Hitler was standing upright from his grave in hell with a clapping ovation and giving “them” his Nazi parade review right upper hand snap Nazi salute from his purgatory lair with Herr Satan himself at his side! I guess it must be just a figment of my imagination, but the Murrieta KKKlan lynching mob must’ve been wearing their KKKlan regalia under their “civilian” clothes all the while partaking during their Blitzkrieg (Sudden overwhelming attack.) against those CHILDREN! It’s no mistake to doubt this was a KKKlaner KKKlown KKKnight Rider operation with Mayor Long directing his goose stepping townsfolk from his Murrieta Bundestag (City Hall) bunker!

The Murrieta enemy camp was no doubt mimicking and reliving their roots of their previous generations whence most of “them” probably hailed from…, the Deep Southern Black Jim Crow segregation of yesteryear. It was obvious by their actions against these CHILDREN as to how “they” still yearn for those abhorrent Black apartheid bygone days! Nevertheless, Black and Brown America must be very cautious of these Euro-AmeriKKKan reprehensible slithering snake types with their present behavior against our communities! …That’s their “Billy Bob” backwoods mindset legacy. Oh yea! They’re out there in the open like perched hungry vultures looking for their next prey. These Murrieta miscreants are dying out of their own miserable existence…and “they” it! Our present Black and Brown demographics are the proven FACT! These loser cracKKKah vermin can also be found hibernating under rocks and city sewers like fermenting Maggots and as flies on Satan’s pile of his own excrement. Our enemies are cognizant that there a Black U.S. Presidents (Barack Obama) and thereby there is no white pale faced U.S. President to account to. So racist whitey is in the erroneous belief there is no one to stop them and there is no white President they have to account to for their hatemongering behavior at large against our Raza or any other people of color for that matter. On the contrary, “they” feel free to hate and attack non-white people with impunity as “Christian” AmeriKKKaners to terrorize without abatement with their centuries old Manifest Destiny (19th Century American territorial expansionism) without abatement against those “mud people” (people of color) as local “law” enforcement either looks the other way or simply partake with them too.

The “good white Christian people” of Murrieta, California has unleashed their semi-dormant white power sentiments as “they” have always held, but had been waiting for their right moment to pounce on their victims (The CHILDREN on the ICE buses) at the first opportunity available to act on it with no one to stop them! Now that “they” have acted on it recently…, the Murrieta anti-immigrant cracKKKahs feel they have that God given right ala Manifest Destiny! As “they” made their attacks on the minor innocent CHILDREN…, the Murrieta local police did not lift a finger to prevent the white mob on the frenzy! This racist mob incident by the white Murrieta mob riot is just exactly what took place against Black Americans more than 60 years ago during those apartheid AmeriKKKan segregation Deep South Jim Crow days!

This kind of blatant race hatred by white supremacists such as the “Concerned Citizens Council” (KKK in disguise) version type of adherent Murrieta townspeople and from other parts of this nation are not an isolated case of race hating white supremacists who continue to ooze like a canker sore puss on a dying rabid dog. This enemy camp made up of terrified white rabid dogs foaming at their snouts who are seeing their own demise as “they” are unequivocally losing their white supremacist power structure on the immediate horizon. “They” fear that “Great Brown Tsunami Wave” that is already drowning “them” out of their own miserable existence as a whole! The white racist xenophobe enemies just cannot handle THE BROWNING OF AmeriKKKa that is besieging their po piss trailer park trash “empire”! Thereby, “they” have become a contaminated lethal health hazard liability to the survival of Black, Brown and Red oppressed people on this continent. AmeriKKKa had their chance at greatness…, but they blew it! This kind of centuries old AmeriKKKan white supremacist Neanderthal mindset has ALWAYS existed since 1776 when “they” invaded this continent as interlopers by the force of arms and on to their own present day backwoods country hick towns which “they” can found on most outhouses full of bottom pit incest inbred Maggot larva wallowing in their own excrement like those vermin filth found in Murrieta, California. I hope this behavior of the Euro-AmeriKKKan Murrieta “uprising” of these subhuman white wild animals has been taken notice by the entire world within and outside of this Western hemisphere.

On many occasions I have asked myself if the world is aware or has it hardly ever noticed or witnessed the plight of an impending of all possibility a RACE WAR that is about to break out ala Balkanization of AmeriKKKa between the Brown Raza and other oppressed people of color against our diehard mortal enemy white supremacists throughout AmeriKKKa, particularly within the Southwestern border states of Aztlan (California to Texas). Our AmeriKKKan Minutemen terrorists have already made it perfectly clear this is exactly what is about to take place at the U.S./Mexico border in the very immediate future as I’m writing this column. Hmmmm…, I wonder if WE will be expecting any armed guerrilla resistance support from the Mexican drug cartels with their lethal “means” against our Minutemen enemies when this does become an actual RACE WAR!

It must be clearly understood that if and when this upcoming and impending RACE WAR on the horizon becomes a reality AmeriKKKa must understand that this RACE WAR is NOT of our own making! WE are ONLY resisting and reacting in self-defense for the survival of our Raza! Also, if and when our white enemies continue their attacks without abatement with their racist provocations as “they” are continuing at this point in time, our Raza will have no choice as our ONLY alternative will be to respond with…, EXTREME PREJUDICE in self-defense by any and ALL means necessary…, if need be!

On the other positive side of the equation of this horrendous racist incident in Murrieta, California, Riverside County that just took place, ironically, there was also a positive silver lining because these CHILDREN who were under attack on the ICE buses found out they were NOT alone as their own Raza and others of different colors, including good decent non-racist white people were out there on the front lines defending them too! I was proud of this aspect of our defense forces in behalf of these scared and traumatized CHILDREN and some mothers aboard with them as well. These children and their mothers on the buses were NOT Mexican undocumented immigrants! Oh no! …They were Central Americans! Que bueno! (That’s good!)

Why? The majority of the pro-immigrant protestors in behalf of these defenseless CHILDREN were Chicanos, Mexican born and from other Raza nations hailing throughout the Americas, including with mis respetos (my respects), the Chicano Mexican American singer, Lupillo Rivera, of renown in spite that he was spat upon and physically attacked while the Murrieta local police looked on and the English speaking media totally ignored when Rivera was being attacked by the white mob on the frenzy!

Rivera is of Mexican born parents and brother of our well beloved recently departed famous Chicana singer, **Jennie Rivera, (La Senora Diva) who was also a pro-immigrants advocate when she was alive. I saw a Univision Spanish language news clip where I heard Rivera shouting in reply as “they” were attacking his personal presence there by the enemy camp; “I pay more taxes than all of you put together!” …Bingo! I loved it!

I’m also certain and without a doubt this did not sit too well with Murrieta racist mob in spite that he was spat upon by our enemies. Yet, Rivera, like a good Chicano warrior, he brushed these verbal and physical attacks aside ala Martin Luther King 1960s Selma, Alabama when he too was spat and attacked by white racist segregationists, yet Rivera continued on to march on with his fellow protestors in defense of these CHILDREN who were no doubt deathly terrified not knowing why they were attacked by white people whom they had not done any harm to “them”. It’s no doubt this terrible incident they had just experienced will leave them traumatized and scarred for life and their future generations forthwith.

However, it’s important to note that the beauty of it all in the final analysis, not once did anyone ever questioned if these children were Mexican or from elsewhere! As far as our pro-immigrant protestors in their defense as far as they were concerned and without thinking, they were and are ALL RAZA…, PERIOD! What our enemy camp there did not fully realize that what “they” attempted to accomplish against our Brown people…, failed miserably on their part! Oh yes! “They” forced the three ICE buses to turn in retreat to their San Diego ICE station, but at the same time, their mean spirited actions against the counter protestors actually brought ALL Brown people together as ONE without regards of our Mexico and Central American border differences! Out of this horrendous incident, without a doubt it raised the conscience of those who needed to be enlightened as an oppressed occupied Raza! This made NOSOTROS stronger than ever before as WE are in the throes of becoming a Brown force to be reckoned with when WE get stronger and wait for the day to settle old accounts as payback time against our present enemy white racist enemy camp within this racist fascist AmeriKKKa!

I never felt so proud of mi gente on this particular day of the attacks who were on the front lines confronting the white supremacist enemy forces under one banner of UNIDAD (UNITY)! I watched them on several language general media as they were making news headlines for the world to witness AmeriKKKa’s white racists emulating Adolf Hitler’s first stage of political and racial ethnic cleansing! I would not discount the FACT how ole Adolf was smiling at his own new and improved AmeriKKKan Murrieta, California cadre of followers with its own city mayor, Alan “Der Fuhrer” Long at the helm! The only thing that was missing with these white oozing and foaming at their snouts rabid “protestors” was that they did not bring their burning crosses for this occasion against the CHILDREN! I guess “they” only do it during their KKKlan rallies at Murrieta city hall’s front steps.

Some of these children will probably be granted humanitarian asylum of some sort and others will be deported in the final process like the U.S. “migra” (ICE) has already deported some of these children and their mothers back to Honduras, Central America as of late. The following are several future scenarios these children will probably take when they become adults. If and when those who will be granted asylum and be allowed to stay in the U.S., some of them will one way or another become persons of academic and/or of economic means as they will later join and continue to advocate for others to prevent the same basic human immigrant rights abuses that were once denied to them initially.

…And for those that will unfortunately be deported, some will resort to “payback time” against any and ALL white Americans with such vengeance that this nation has NEVER known! There will come a day when white AmeriKKKans in particular will NOT be safe to travel throughout Central America, not excluding Mexico. The seeds of deep hatred for revenge against white AmeriKKKans today has been sowed upon these same victimized 140 small children in Murrieta, California, and as I have commented previously…, not of their own making! …And make no mistake AmeriKKKa! I DO NOT blame them in the least bit! If I had personally experienced these similar attacks by white racist xenophobe AmeriKKKans, there is no doubt the ONLY thing on my mind was to give white AmeriKKKa a taste of their own medicine…, no exceptions! Again, AmeriKKKa has dug its own grave with future grave consequences! This is what Ugly AmeriKKKa is exporting with these 140 CHILDREN! …And please white racist AmeriKKKa; don’t tell me later that I did not tell you so! I just hope to be around when this worst case scenario for white supremacist AmeriKKKa becomes a reality, something I can honestly look forward to as I cheer these same innocent 140 children who have been denied their human rights and human dignity!

According to Google sources:

“Today Murrieta (Ca.) ranks among the safest cities in the nation.” (Yea…, right!)

Mayor Long: “Murrieta, Ca. is a compassionate (apartheid) town.”

(**In all fairness, no confirmation by my sources present in Murrieta claimed to had seen Ted Hayes participating at the Murrieta mob attacks. I myself did not see his presence on the news media feeds there either.)

(*During the “Million Pro-Immigrant Rights March” some years ago in Los Angeles, Ca. on downtown Broadway St., I personally remember seeing the late Jennie Rivera atop of an RGV as she sang and danced while giving us moral and encouraging support. Yes, she was not only a Dama (Dame) but a freedom fighter for her Raza as well alright! I thank her and her family for raising a family of fighters like Jennie and Lupillo Rivera! Gracias!)

PART III

Growing up in the barrio of “El Ramireno” during the mid 1950s, it never dawned on me what poverty actually meant for this then 10-12 year old kid. I just thought everyone lived like me and I didn’t see nor felt poverty or knew how I was supposed to react when I was treated different as I was made to feel less of a person than those who lived better on the other side of my barrio than I. In those days I didn’t even know what a Mexican or Chicano was when others hurled words at me as I was called a “mojado” (“wetback”), greaser, spic and worse. I just simply brushed it off and thought that certain white people and even by some of those who looked like me treated us poor kids bad was because they were just being mean when I spoke only in Espanol and with a very broken English to boot! I also thought that maybe because I did not look like “them” (Anglos and Anglosized HI-spanics) either was why I did not fit into their little group. At least this is what I thought in hindsight. Race, culture or social status was never something I was cognizant of its existence in those days. We were just a poor barrio campesino (farm worker) kids who just lived day by day and nothing else!

It was not until quite a few years later in life when I realized what being “different” in Texas meant. With time I began to take  notice more closely how those demeaning words were supposed to make me and my friends feel then. Due my adolescent naïveté, I was not even aware that Black Americans were being treated no better than NOSOTROS or worse…, until a little later! This Raza cultural and race discrimination affected me later in my life as it became natural for me to eventually evolve myself into the angry revolutionary fighting radical I am proud to be today. It’s no accident why there are massive Brown Raza youth throughout Aztlan and the rest of Occupied America who are anti-fascist and anti-racist resistance fighters themselves, i.e., pro immigrant rights and the “Dreamers” activists! I am proud to convey them my most unconditional support and SOLIDARITY! Only those who understand the true meaning of Chicano / Mexicano revolutionary self-determination ideology can relate with others that are in the same struggle for their own national liberation in America and/or in other oppressed nations. …They are NOT alone! WE are one!

 “El Ramireno”, located on the west side outskirts within the edge of its Brownsville city limits, was where both my parents, my two younger brothers, the youngest of the brood, a toddling baby sister then and I was where we spent most of our childhood days. Our youngest sister was born in this same barrio on Nopal St. as we literally did live across the “other side” of the railroad tracks.

We were also residing in very close proximity to the U.S./Mexico Rio Grande River international border. But no…, we could not see Mexico from our windows! This neighborhood where I formerly grew up with was very close knit where almost everyone knew everyone. Most of us attended nearby Skinner Elementary School. There was an Anglo family who had several children attending our local school then, whose mother was also a school teacher there and their father was a practicing well known local attorney

                                                     

These Anglo kids with whom we grew up with 50-55 years ago, later in life became local people of prominence themselves in their own right; one an attorney who followed his late father’s footsteps, one a former car dealer and I don’t know what happened to the rest of the brood thereafter. I know for a fact that the oldest speaks and writes fluent Espanol like a native. I should know, him and I used to train at a local combination boxing and wrestling training/arena center, along with one or two of his younger brothers.

However, I would not be surprised that the rest of his siblings did well in their own lives too. These Anglos throughout Aztlan (California to Texas) are not an exception to the rule, because these are authentic Anglo decent people who grew up among La Raza most of their developing lives and were NOT contaminated by the Texan or the rest of the American white supremacist xenophobe stigma of bigotry. To this day, as far as I have been told by my own relatives who continue to reside in Brownsville; that these same Anglos are allegedly politically and socially active in one way or another throughout the city and the Rio Grande Valley area. If they are…, I congratulate them. I hope to meet up with these same ole Anglo former school chums one day when I return home one day soon which I have not seen or heard from them since our childhood days.

“THE OPPRESSED MUST NEVER BECOME THE OPPRESSORS AGAINST THOSE WHO DO NOT LOOK LIKE NOSOTROS!”   

Just west of El Ramireno separating its barrio inhabitants by a mere few blocks, was the Riverside “neighborhood” where the middle class economic well to do and pseudo educated “class” lived during those days. I say “during”, because the last time I was there when I visiting my ole barrio, I come to find out that some of my old timer friend’s offspring who were born in El Ramireno were now residing in the Riverside area.

Formerly, in the old days, the Riverside residents were Anglo and “Spanish American” as those grade school kids my age preferred to term themselves, who thought they were a better “class” of people than us poor kids from our adjacent barrio. When we barrio kids stepped into their “turf”, they always made it known to us at every opportunity who and what we were each time our paths crossed which was often. Just because they were gringos and “uppity” mobility “Spanish Americans” of that era whose parents were of means, they felt they had a right to look down on NOSOTROS who lived in the poverty stricken El Ramireno…, the “other side”. Today, I would call them…, “The HI-spanic Malinchista (Race Traitor) Coconut Class”! In those days, race and class distinction was very obvious. I did not understand it, but it was a very valuable and an obvious lesson for me many years later in the final analysis as an outlook on life within apartheid Manifest Destiny America.

However, the ONLY time when both sides of the barrio poor and the uppity middle class neighborhood kids mingled and actually forgot their class “differences” was in December nearing Christmas time. I can’t ever remember any Anglo kids participating on this Christmas ritual which it was meant for us poor folks. They had no need to obtain these bags of candies. …And it was obviously why! A few hundred yards North of El Ramireno and the Riverside “enclaves”, was “El Bordo” (“The Dam”). “El Bordo” was a constructed 35-40 feet high dirt dam that stretched for miles from further west of the nearby Mather Ranch and all the way to the opposite direction several miles east down to the U.S./Mexico  old and new International Bridges and beyond. I believe a third bridge was erected some fifteen years ago according to my sources which is known as “Veterans International Bridge” in the U.S. side and “El Puente de los Tomates” (“The Bridge of the Tomatoes”) by the Mexican side.  

During the summer cotton picking season at “El Bordo”, this is where our parents, with me and my siblings in tow, worked the Mather’s Ranch in “Las Piscas” (Picking cotton), picking tomatoes, cabbage, etc., but every December, the ranch owner Mr. Mathers which I can’t remember his first name at this point in time. himself would distribute bags and bags to no end filled with candies and other goodies. It was on a first come first served basis that we the much appreciative low income recipients, me included, were given a bag of candies to take home. People would come from miles around from la colonia “La Muralla” (“The Wall”), the adjacent barrio east of El Ramireno and beyond as far away as the children’s feet could carry them with their parents at their side. Each year that I can remember, it was like a festive sort of a holiday for us in those days. For many of us, this was the only Christmas present we would be getting due to those dire economic hard times in those days. Those hard pressed economic conditions were not in our favor, yet, these bags of candies were our pride and joy which we looked forward to every year. It was the biggest event of the year for most us poor economic deprived kids then.

It’s hard to believe or to even remotely imagine there was an actual outright class and race distinction just outside the barrio borderline just a few blocks away. What distinguished these issues in those days were plainly evident with the then existing unspoken “demarcation line” between NOSOTROS and “them”. Our El Ramireno streets were unpaved dirt and deep mud covered when it rained, and good luck if you could drive out of the area! In contrast, on the “other side” in middle class Riverside, their streets were nice and paved nicely with no pot holes to be found there either. The gringos would call us “those Ramireno wetbacks” and their “Spanish American huarachudo” (Hi-spanic wearing Mexican sandal self-denying renegades) everso boot lickers looked on as they chimed in to “look good” for their Anglo amigos. However, in all fairness, there were a few righteous Anglo and Raza kids from this same Riverside neighborhood who did invite us to visit their homes to play and even their parents went out of their way to feed us a few meals often each time we visited them.

“BIGOTRY AND IGNORANCE HAS NO BORDERS OR SKIN COLOR!”

Our Riverside friends were not looked too kindly and were also looked down by others in their own block for allowing “those” bad elements” into ‘their” neighborhood. Yet, they remained our friends nevertheless to the end. Ironically, the last time I was in Brownsville four or five years ago, I visited my old El Ramireno haunts which had seemingly “improved” somewhat. When I was there, my very few childhood friends still residing in El Ramireno, informed me that some of their own families and extended relatives are now residing in the Riverside area what was once considered the turf of the “privileged” few.

The mini East side (Riverside)/West side (El Ramireno) “Tortilla Curtain” was finally torn down! As for my old time Riverside friends, I could not find a trace of them that not even the new neighbors claimed not to know nor ever heard of them or where they moved to. I felt sad to have lost those few nice Chicano and Anglo middle class kids (boys and girls) who were our unconditional friends. I just hope they remained the same kind of people I knew then. They were there for us barrio kids when we needed true friends.  

The Rio Grande River / El Rio Bravo (“The Wild River”) as its officially known in Mexico has much to do as who we are as Mexicans, Mexican Americans Chicanos, and yes, and in spite that even white washed HI-spanics tend to deny it, ALL of NOSOTROS are tied to both sides of this Manifest Destiny Euro-AmeriKKKan forced international border, historically, ethnically and culturally whether WE like it or not!

WE Mexicans born on both sides of the Rio Grande River / El Rio Bravo were NEVER consulted to acknowledge the annexation of Aztlan (California to Texas) then or now of this so called “international demarcation” border by the force of arms which means nothing to NOSOTROS EN PIE DE LUCHA (…US IN THE STRUGGLE!)! WE will NEVER accede to be assimilationists nor be something we DO NOT want to be…, other than be one and the same Brown Proud Raza…, PERIOD!

Hmmmm…, as of lately Russia=Ukraine 2014? Now, there is a lesson WE RAZA can learn from this fiasco. Watch out America! YOU could be next! …Don’t blow it!

When we kids formerly swam at this river, we NEVER did acknowledge any borders between me and our Mexican people living across this specific body of water during our youthful days. Our Mexican amigos from the other side in Matamoros would sometimes swim towards where we swam on the U.S. side or vice versa to enjoy ourselves and just have good ole time fun by the riverbed as we braved this mean and fast running treacherous waters. In those times all we thought then was to have fun swimming without regards even if we were from either side of the border separating us.

WE never paid any attention or knew the word “international protocol boundaries” and such matters, nor did we ever gave it a second thought of “border crossing treaty violations”, etc. What did we know of such trivialities?! Besides, we looked the same, spoke the same language and shared the same food, culture and probably we were blood related for all we knew. The only thing we were aware was that there was a big river between us and we were going to have fun that day and that was what counted back then!

There were times when our fun also had adversary effects not of our own making. Whenever we saw the dust clouds on the near horizon, we already knew it was the much hated “la migra” (U.S. Border Patrol) Devils and their official government rushing jeeps from afar heading towards us. In seconds we immediately went into action to outfox our migra adversaries as it had been done previously on many occasions by helping our friends to escape back to the other side of the Mexican “Rio Bravo” river. We Chicanitos were successful in helping them with their escape from the migra clutches as they swam back to their side as fast as they could! To confuse la mendiga (damn) “migra”, we pretended to run in six or more opposite directions, depending on how many of us were there at one time or another even though we saw “la migra” sometimes with their guns drawn out of their holsters!

This “cat and mouse” game was a regular routine for us each time these migra agents were nearing us with guns drawn and flashing their badges. They knew who we were and we knew them too. They even called us out on a first names basis and vice versa. In spite of their veiled and not so veiled threats against us, they finally “blinked” and gave up on us that they no longer made their constant raids on us. In those days we lived to swim at the river even though we were well aware of the dangerous perils at times when we had to help our amigos from Matamoros. The funny part was that when we Chicanitos swam across to the Matamoros Mexican side of the river, we never had to flee the Mexican migra ourselves. I don’t remember or think we ever saw any Mexican migra chasing us back to our gringolandia side of the U.S. border.

From the outset, when these “pinches rinches” (“Damn Border Patrol rangers”) closed in on us and saw their prey of Mexican “mojados” (“Wetbacks”) escape them, they would retaliate by rounding up us Chicanitos as they had done so on previous occasions. Thereby, we were given the “riot act”! The migra agents would vociferously chastise us like rabid barking dogs with  epithets, calling us every racist name under the sun as we just stood there and taking it while in our little itty biddy minds we were savoring our small VICTORY just the same for helping our friends escape these gringo bastards…, and this was often! In silence WE would look at one another and smile in agreement to show our collective deep hatred for these pinches gringos at the moment when la migra had us in “custody”! After all, we were only just 12-15 year old scared kids ourselves then, but nevertheless each one of us remained unabatedly defiant to the bitter end!

Today, I dare these still much despised “migras” to intimidate or treat me like they did then 50-55 years ago! However, in all fairness, these “migra” agents no longer come only in one white thawed out pastel redneck color. Naw…, they can now be seen in knuckle walking and in living color too! They are also the typical self-loathing VENDIDO (Sellout) “Indian Scout” Black plantation Stepnfetchit and Brown HI-spanic hacienda peons…, to our Raza’s own utter regret! It’s important to note that unlike today, during our youthful days; I don’t remember ever seeing any of these “Indian Scouts” (Border Patrol agents of color) patrolling the border, especially at our swimming spots for that matter.  

Some years later as I was growing up, it was eventually when I learned the political and geographical history about the German East/West Berlin Wall. It was then when I understood and felt for all those people who were separated from each other in spite that they were the same German people. For some strange reason, right there and then I felt there was something wrong with this picture. As a teenager then, I asked myself; “Why should people be separated from each other when they are one and the same people separated by a wall or a river for that matter…, like NOSOTROS throughout Aztlan and Mexico?!” Is it because of our Political and ideological differences? …Or is it because of our Brown skin color perhaps…, hmmmmm?

It’s no coincidence why I feel the EXACT same way today about NOSOTROS being separated by a border that was NEVER a border to begin with before those interloping Europeans from another far away Bubonic disease contaminated continent who arrived to impose by the force of arms their own white rule apartheid laws on NOSOTROS! The Euro-Americans colonized Aztlan and beyond without ever asking or taking ALL of the indigenous peoples living on this land into account! What HYPOCRISY to set these xenophobic anti-immigrant terms themselves against NOSOTROS in America; “Home of the brave!”

 …Home of the brave?! Who invited these original invading “brave” European ILLEGAL ALIENS to this Indigenous continent?! …No one! All of these evil European blue eye Devils who invaded this land who brought with them their contaminating deadly and lethal Bubonic Plague pestilence as 1/3 of its white  population had just previously perished in Europe during the 13^th Century for their ignorance of soap, hot water and simple hygiene. This is their “sub-culture” they imported to this continent; death, pillage, plunder, slavery, stealing of Mexican lands, the almost extermination of its native inhabitants, including the death and destruction of other defenseless nations under the guise of Manifest Destiny (Their White Anglo Saxon Protestant religious false beliefs and other despised much to be desired alien “customs”. Their racist Manifest Destiny mindset was that they had the right to invade other countries who did not “think” or “look like them” in the name of Western civilization and “democracy”! Que basura! Que asco! Que COBARDES! (What trash! What vomit! What COWARDS!)

Brownsville traditionally observes their annual February “El Dia de los Charros aka “Mexican Mardi Gras” which I have many personal childhood memories of this festive month of the calendar year for more than 60 years. “El Dia de los Charros” has existed long before I was even born which on this weeklong Mexican festivity existed when both sides of the U.S./Mexico border, until some years ago, probably before or after the 9-11 attack, people of the U.S./Mexico border formerly crossed it with free passage “no migra papeles” (“No ICE immigration documents”), that is until the rightwing Tea Party RepublicsKKKlansmen fascists in the U.S. Congress put a stop to all this from what I have been informed by my own local  relatives involved this city’s political environment. I’ll even go further; this is no thanks to the far right wing racist xenophobe gringolandia powers that be who has ruined something good for our culture and Raza on both sides of this international border, including the small business community at-large who have suffered tremendously. This is one more reason why NOSOTROS must exclusively support OUR quest towards the now open agenda of fulfilling La Reconconquista De Aztlan National Liberation Movement…, por que nadie va ser nada por NOSOTROS mas que NOSOTROS mismos! (No one is going to do anything for US except our own selves!)

“AMERICA! THE COLONIZATION OF AZTLAN IS NOT ETERNAL…, NOSOTROS WILL INEVITABLY LIBERATE THE MEXICAN TERRITORIES YOU STOLE WITH LIES, DECEIT, BY THE FORCE OF ARMS AND GENOCIDE!” – E.F. Mohammed Martinez   

                                           

Almost everyone I knew then and as I know today, it would be safe to say that almost 90% of La Raza (U.S. born Chicanos, Mexican nationals, Central and South Americans, Caribbean’s, non-Raza by marriage and multi-cultural Raza.), have close relatives residing in Matamoros, Tamaupipas, Mexico and in Brownsville, Texas, U.S.A. This includes all the way to San Diego, California to Tijuana, Baja California (Mexico) and throughout the Diaspora.

Both sides of the cultural equation are mostly one and the same blood line related people. There is no way of denying this FACT of life…, me included. This is part of our own Mexican heritage and culture no matter how we cut it. I myself am a product of this FACT of life who was partially raised and educated on both sides of the U.S./Mexico International “border” between Brownsville and Matamoros. For many in Brownsville, as in my case, WE actually see nothing negative that separates us Tex-Mex “Tejanos” and the “Matamorenses” aka “los del otro lado” (“…the ones on the other side”), as we mutually term ourselves. WE Tejanos and the rest of our Raza have ALWAYS been one and the same ethnic people in language, culture and historically in nature.

The true concept of Aztlan in the making already exists within the Rio Grande Valley and beyond! ...And there is no way to stop this beautiful overwhelming Brown Tsunami Wave that is drowning our nay sayers unto their own deserving miserable extinction! Aztlan is INEVITABLY self-induced without NOSOTROS of ever having to fire one single shot in anger or ever having to declare war on the U.S. Our VICTORY is a “loving” silent war for La Reconquista de Aztlan as white racist xenophobe America is aging, dying and self-oblitering themselves onto the Neanderthal Dinosaur age. Just look around from California to Texas and see how Aztlan is already taking shape and form. I can safely predict this is the unequivocal terminal fate awaiting our bigoted adversaries with no turning back the clock of our over a century and a half long awaited well planned agenda; LA RECONQUISTA DE AZTLAN NATIONAL LIBERATION MOVEMENT’S FAIT ACCOMPLI IN PROGRESS! …VICTORY IS AT HAND!

“BEWARE RACIST XENOPHOBE AMERIKKKA! TIME AND HISTORY IS ON OUR SIDE! …JUST LOOK AROUND AND SMELL THE FRIJOLES!”

When I revisited Brownsville a few years ago on another of my annual vacations, at no time, as before, did not see any of the obvious decadence, such as graffiti tagged walls, gang violence, nightly gunshot sounds, constant police patrols with their ongoing sirens, nor hearing those deafening nightly police helicopters hovering our homes at all times of the day and night that can be heard more often than not right here in East L.A. or in the predominately Black communities!

These “egg beaters” (helicopters) are always keeping me and everyone in our Black and Brown communities awake on most nights to no end with the neighborhood dogs loudly barking and howling! Most predominately white neighborhoods of economic means and political influence are excluded from all of these crime induced hostilities. This includes the daily Fire Department and police sirens as the “norm” of the day. Oh…! And let’s not forget the gang violence shootings, a daily staple even during in the middle of the day!

This unabated gang violence is not as prevalent as it was when I first migrated from Texas to East L.A. in 1972, but nevertheless it’s always been lamentably in existence. Violence between the Brown barrio gang inner rivalries and Black “hood” gangs going at each other is never a scarcity. Innocent bystanders walking on the streets and other people inside their own homes just minding their own business have also become shooting victims themselves during these Black “gangsta” and Brown “cholo” drive bys. It’s not uncommon for deadly gang cross fires going at each other which many innocent men, women and children have also been wounded or murdered! …That’s the sad part of it all! All the while the privileged white gated enclaves are immune to all this turmoil as this human carnage continues to claim lives to no end in sight!

Interesting enough, I have conducted my own research to establish if the white well to do gated communities, i.e., Beverly Hills, Rancho Palos Verdes, Santa Monica Palisades, etc., fare the same police state intrusions and civil rights abuses. Many doubt if they too experience these same hovering night helicopters activities that our own working low income class communities are daily subjected to. ...They do not! These police helicopter incursions within our barrios and “hoods” which WE Black and Brown people live under can be viewed almost on a daily basis through our local and national news media at 6:00 & 11:00 PM. These police department flying machines incessantly hover with their loud buzzing noise with their extreme bright search lights shining directly on our neighborhoods. It’s important to mention, like all big, small and medium size cities and towns, the RGV is not the perfect spot for many, but it’s NOT known or considered to be a high crime environment region in comparison to outside of the RGV.  

Yet, it’s important to note that in spite of this adversity within our economic depressed East L.A. community there can be found quite a few treasure gems growing out of the thorn sharp bushes. There are many young teenagers from these same barrios of East L.A. and throughout who are everso making every effort towards improving their lot in their poverty stricken and working class lives in the hopes of overcoming the odds against them. Many of these youths have accomplished their goals with their hard earned academic studies. …This includes the Black kids from the Compton community and throughout. I have met some of these Black bright youths personally with much potential to say the least.

Countless of these educated youth, men and women of color, have returned to where they came from after graduating from their respective colleges and universities. Many have opted to stay in their barrios and hoods after they have obtained their degrees and return to their roots to give something back and do the right thing for those they left behind. Many have become professional people in their own right as they attempt to help others in following their footsteps. I have a teenage grandson who is about to graduate from high school and is also a product of this same environment. With our encouragement as his close family members, he is destined to become a person of prominence in his own right in the immediate future. To those mentoring youths of color who have succeeded in life to empower other less fortunate contemporaries than them…, I humbly congratulate every one of them.   

“THE EMPOWERMENT OF ONESELF TAKES OTHERS TO HELP EMPOWER THOSE IN NEED THEY LEFT BEHIND!” – E.F. Mohammed Martinez

As a long time resident of East Los Angeles, California for the past 42 years, I recommend this Golden West Coast state for individuals or families who want to move up his/her economic status and/or social level, but to raise a family or retire in a non-hostile environment…, this is only recommended on a temporary basis for only a few years or so or until retirement. Thereafter, it would be wise to move elsewhere to “calmer waters”. Brownsville, Texas. The RGV area is also another proper place of choice I highly encourage people to consider as viable places to settle, move when retired or to just visit occasionally at least once in their lifetime.

Aztlan has ALWAYS been in existence, front and center as no one has ever noticed it…., not even its own inhabitants themselves! The RGV area is the EXACT prototype model which to emulate as our indigenous Raza homeland. It’s no longer as “theory”…, it’s right on OUR doorsteps as a FACT of life! La Reconquista de Aztlan has always been an ongoing existence and in actual goal for many prior generations! The RGV is what Aztlan and throughout Occupied America can eventually become a FAIT ACCOMPLI just for the taking…, and without violating any Constitutional U.S. laws! …And the beauty of it all is that there is absolutely nothing our diehard adversaries can do to prevent or much less stop NOSOTROS! 

Many have come to visit the RGV and thereafter a good percentage of such visitors take a liking to the Tex-Mex native atmosphere, environment and its people. Some of these same visitors decide to return at a later date…, and most do. Many of those who do return, they opt to become part of the Brownsville new incoming families or move to its other nearby adjacent municipalities within the RGV area…, temporarily, and even on a permanent basis. There are many out of state people of all colors who have been migrating here for many decades to become part of the Brownsville landscape. They are better known as the “Winter Birds”. These phenomenons by out of state people have been settling here every year since I can remember over five decades ago. They not only come to spend their winters in the RGV, but also many of them have a tendency to bring new people with them as their cycle evolves year round. These out of state regular part time Brownsville residents return because of the local warmer climate in comparison to their snowbound cold winters in their own respective states and elsewhere as far as Canada, including other foreign nations. Brownsville and the rest of the RGV have always had their share of part time winter residents.  Most of the seasonal migrating “Winter Birds” are also friendly and an important boost to the Brownsville economy and to its surrounding townships. These part time residents enjoy the flavor of its one of a kind Tex-Mex cuisine, its culture and overall living in a comfortable atmosphere.

                                

The only adverse backlash for anyone who would be contemplating to settle and work in the Rio Grande Valley should be aware of the everso exploited workers with low pay scale environment which the big American corporate businesses are notoriously known to take advantage of its workers. It’s no accident how corporate America saturates the Brownsville and RGV landscape with these villains who “blood suck” the working class people with their exploiting cheap wages. Wal-Mart Corp is one of many parasitical fermenting corporations in existence found to crop up almost everywhere in the RGV who exploit their workers with their anti-union starving wages in this “states rights” (Jim Crow) state of Texas, including other local corporate business larva. They are mostly situated within the deep Southern confederate states of the union. As for the small owned enterprises, they just try to survive the engulfing big corporate onslaught monopolies that make them hard to compete and stay afloat if they want to survive as businesses.

The modern day “Ugly American Syndrome” is no longer composed only of white supremacist arrogant gun slinging swaggering “John Wayne” types taking over our Texas border towns anymore! Oh no…! These arrogant knuckle walking Neanderthals of today are the “new” and “improved” updated gun slingers which are defined as corporate America $$$, whose sole purpose is of absolute greed, exploitation of cheap labor and anti-workers right to join a union. Corporate America $$$ functions in Texas under the guise of “states rights”, protected by their bought and paid for by rightwing “conservative” RepublicsKKKumbag legislation powers that be. We should not doubt for one single minute how these state Republican adversaries have in all probability had their greedy palms “greased” $$$ beforehand as in quid pro quo (“You scratch my back…, I scratch yours!”) with campaign contributions and other perks from their corporate CEO donor “sponsors” $$$! (Wink! Wink!)

                                                 

Texas has always been known as the notorious and ardent anti union state. The other sad FACT about Texas and other similar minded Southern states throughout is that it seems how the poor working class people have been castrated as in null and void when it comes to speaking out in defense for fair living wages and the right to union organizing. Unfortunately, many working class Tejanos have been conditioned to live in contentment with their sorry lot while the business corporations exploit them big time as they violate and step all over their labor and civil rights. The RGV is no exception to the rule and is not immune to workers intimidation and oppression if they dare defy their corporate employers! Let’s all hope the next working class generation will eventually shake the yoke of apathy of all workers to its senses!

One my of my own hosting relatives took me “shopping” for the ride at one of these several Wal-Mart shopping centers nearby that predominate throughout Brownsville and its surrounding areas within the RGV in silent reluctance. As I was already cognizant of Wal-Mart’s dubious labor relations history, I tried to explain my relative this store’s negative labor practices on the workers. However, my relative did not want to hear about my “opinion”. All she cared was about their “cheap prices” they had and that was the end of the subject…, period!

Once there, while my relative was doing the shopping, I separated myself and as I was just strolling the store aisles, I stumbled onto one of its workers who was stocking a shelf; thereby, I got near him and casually struck a conversation and asked him how his working condition fared at this store. At first he was hesitant to respond, but I gave him a ruse with the story about me thinking of “applying for employment” at Wal-Mart because I had just arrived in town and was looking for a employment. It was then when he opened up to me and his reply was not too pleasant that I can say. This worker sure did not look like a “happy camper” by no means as he described in detail his low pay working conditions and in a low whispering voice. His story was no different that I had heard previously from other Wal-Mart employees throughout Los Angeles, California. …Workers exploitation and their labor rights being violated.

However, on the positive side overall in the final analysis, in comparison to other states, including within my adoptive state of California, it’s also important to note that the cost of living is inexpensive in Brownsville as far as home rental, home purchasing, buying land, food, gasoline, recreational activities, etc. in comparison to California. It’s very exorbitant to survive in this “Golden State” where I have resided since 1972. For as the Rio Grande Valley region it’s less stressful and located in a healthier smog free environment. Oh yes, and one most important item to all this…, the native people of the RGV are friendlier and hospitable than the big city folks outside of Texas! I should know…, I’m a Brownsville born native who has NEVER forgotten his border town Tex-Mex (Tejano) roots. I still have close relatives in “Browntown”, as most of us affectionately dub this medium size city for its Raza predominance. The RGV is composed of many, many towns of different sizes of population to make anyone welcome. 

About 20 something miles north of Brownsville are the beautiful small towns and beaches, i.e., Boca Chica Beach, Port Isabel, Padre Island and other great tourist sites. The RGV has much to offer with recreational activities or even reside there too. As a teenager I worked in South Padre Island as a busboy on one of those off shore tourist restaurants, El Palmetto Inn, during one of my summer school vacations. I even attended briefly one of their Port Isabel public schools when my now late mother was employed at a nearby cannery.

At one time when I went to visit one of my relatives some 35 years ago, I attempted my hand at working on one of my relative’s shrimp boats, but as we set out to the Gulf of Mexico sea, I got so sea sick that my “job” on this shrimp boat only lasted no more than 24 hours or thereabout! I never again ever attempted to work as a “shrimper” since then. Trust me readers, working on a shrimp boat is definitely NOT for everyone! It’s also very hazardous to one’s health in many respects. Many shrimp boat crews have lost their lives at sea, i.e., job related accidents, drowning and the everso seasonal devastating high seas hurricanes. The brief time I was on board this vessel, I learned a very valuable lesson to last me a lifetime…, to respect the sea and this kind of work. Since then to present date, each time I touch or eat any seafood, especially shrimp, I always remind myself what it took to arrive at my meal table. This is no different than the poor farm workers who toil the land in America to take our edible fruit and vegetables we purchase at the supermarkets or the cotton field pickers to make the fabrics for us to wear as clothes.     

Some years ago, I recommended a few people, including my friends here in Los Angeles, to travel and visit Brownsville and the Rio Grande Valley area as a vacation spot. I was surprised by my friends who took me up on it as I later came across them. These friends that did visit Brownsville and the RGV informed me how they really liked it as they were planning to return. They were impressed with its people, Tex-Mex culture, food and the laid back atmosphere. Two of these young couples informed me of returning to settle there as a family. One of these couples even liked nearby Harlingen as a place to visit more often. I don’t know if these people did return, but I do hope so. No, I’m NOT a “tourist promoter” or otherwise! I’m just one humble person who seeks tranquility, peace of mind and yearning to return to my roots in the RGV.

                                      

I have been a resident of East L.A. for over four decades which I have seen and visited many parts of Los Angeles and throughout this beautiful golden state of California. My long time residence in this state speaks for itself. I got married in East L.A., raised a family and now my grandkids, small children to teenagers and growing. I also have a son in Houston, two daughters, one in Dallas and another in Brownsville. All three Tejanos are married, two in their early 40s and one in her mid 30s with children themselves…, my grandkids. Inevitably, there comes a time in one’s life when many are nearing retirement age that turn to the next stage of their lives as senior citizens who are apt to seek a calmer environment within the comforts of a small township or medium size city within the RGV. One does not have to travel to the state of Florida to retire when the Rio Grande Valley region is the perfect place as an option, including Brownsville.

However, it’s important to understand that this kind of setting is NOT recommended for everyone, unless a person wants to seek a pleasant and unstressful paced atmosphere to live in. Brownsville is not a hustle and bustle fast paced city many new comers are accustomed to. It’s important to understand that the RGV is a relative laid back territory that is everso growing but is in no hurry to grow into a large city metropolis setting. …And I hope it remains this way for many future generations to come.

Regrettably, from California to Texas and beyond, our own “brown” HI-spanic Race Traitors are not in scarcity when it comes to exposing those who turn their backs on their own language, identity and Raza altogether. These sombrero and huarache (Mexican sandals) wearing “paint jobs” that look like NOSOTROS tend to suffer from an acute and terminal malignant ethnic cultural tumor…, the “Alamo Syndrome” aka “Ostrich Syndrome”.

The Alamo Mission in San Antonio, Texas was overrun in 1836 by Santa Ana’s Mexican heroic troops and killed ALL the invading gringo squatters and deservingly so, including a few HI-spanic “mexican” RACE TRAITORS who died alongside their white supremacist Manifest Destiny gringo slave masters. Ironically, today there are still many white washed HI-spanic  Tejanos who are still “defending” the Alamo legacy! …As for the “Ostrich Syndrome”? Those are self-centered people who prefer to stick their heads inside the ground or “elsewhere” where the light don’t shine as they also refuse to “rock the boat”…, as long as it does not affect them in any shape or form and to hell with the rest of their own Raza who are fighting for their rights against injustice!  …What utter vomit disgust these COWARDLY “brown” scum of the earth they are!

These self-loathing HI-spanic sewer rats and bottom pit wallowing in their own excrement outhouse Maggots have become a very toxic contaminant phenomenon and health hazard throughout Texas and beyond! They crawl within our own Raza communities like fumigated cockroaches seeping out of our underground sewers gasping for their last breath of fresh air as they report to their gringo slave masters. When I say this in the aforementioned, it’s because many of these “rejectionist” generic HI-spanic “Americanos” have become our own worst diehard adversaries to our Chicano and Pro-Immigrant rights struggle. On many occasions these misguided and confused Coconuts (Brown from the outside, white from inside), are no doubt our internal worst nemeses and an obstacle to OUR Reconquista de Aztlan Liberation Front. Make no mistake Raza! These “brown” RACE TRAITORS will be dealt with once WE achieve VICTORY!

Many of these HI-spanic rats have forgotten where they came from. If the Peoples Republic of Vietnam achieved their own national liberation…, NOSOTROS can too!  These “confused” HI-spanic Tejanos have become the “eyes and ears” of our enemy forces who seek our demise as a Brown people! If WE are to survive as one Raza, it’s our duty to let these HI-spanic Coconut undesirables know they are NOT welcome within OUR own communities! “They” are NOT on our side! WE must treat these Cucaracha “brown” renegade turncoats in no uncertain terms just as WE perceive our racist xenophobe gringo adversaries…, with repugnance and unceremoniously outright ostracize them altogether!

New Mexico, Nevada, Florida, Arizona and many other states, including Texas, have “elected” many of these self-hating HI-spanics, i.e., RepublicsKKKumbag Tea Party fascist Texas U.S. Senator, Ted Cruz, a Canadian immigrant himself, to boot and a classical case of what is an authentic rightwing HI-spanic “Cuban” GUSANO (Reactionary Worm) RACE TRAITOR who offers nothing positive to the non-“Cuban” Raza which he is supposedly be “representing” in his “adoptive” state of Texas. It’s important to note that Ted Cruz, the Gusano Republicscumbag pedazo de excremento (…piece of excrement and for lack of a better term.) is definitely NOT a “Latino”…, not as far as NOSOTROS are concerned! Non-“Cubanos” such as NOSOTROS definitely DO NOT and will NOT identify with most of these extremist rightwing Miami, Florida “Cuban” dog types as Cruz’s ilk!

The majority, but not all, of these Miami “Cuban” Mafiosi types are RepublicsKKKumbags, therefore, Gusanos like Cruz, have NEVER been OUR Raza “friends”, nor do we want to! However, in all fairness, there are exceptions to the rule as there are also many younger Cuban Americans today that are known not to behave like their older generation of hardcore aggressive Miami mafia rabid “Cubano” vomiting dogs foaming at their snouts! The real genuine Cubanos are in the island nation of Cuba Libre, defending their hard earned Cuban revolution for the past 60 years! These aforementioned are the genuine Cubano brothers and sisters in the struggle which to this day, I truly admire and respect. I also want to sincerely convey my unconditional SOLIDARITY to the real genuine people of Cuba Libre! 

VIVA CUBA LIBRE!

END THE CUBAN EMBARGO NOW!

FREE THE CUBAN FIVE!

Conventional wisdom dictates as a priority, from Texas and throughout Aztlan, there is a dire need for NOSOTROS to expose and outright oppose these self-serving “brown” reactionary MALINCHISTA VENDIDO (Sellouts) RACE TRAITORS at every opportunity available. This responsibility is up to us as a collective united front to make it happen! …Otherwise, it never materialize without our efforts. They should be chastised with a clear uncut verbal message;

“IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF OUR SOLUTION…, THEN YOU ARE PART OF OUR PROBLEM AND YOU ARE NOT WELCOME WITHIN OUR RAZA COMMUNITIES”! 

Many white washed Tejano HI-spanics, like elsewhere throughout Aztlan, are not even aware how they have become the token “brown” Republican mouthpieces who have been bought and paid for as they are brought out of their bottom pit outhouses and sewers they call “home”. They are only on “call” as they wait to be “summoned” when their gringo masters need them to do their dirty work in their Raza communities…, and only then! These HI-spanic Republicanos are the ruling class gringo’s show case façade tokens to bait and entice NUESTRA Raza to vote for their Republican gringo masters running for office. Thereafter, these same gringo  RepublicsKKKumbags turn against NUESTROS pueblos de Raza! …They ALWAYS do! When these HI-spanic Republicano’s services are no longer needed, thereafter they are discarded like taking a “bowel movement” (For lack of a better word.) and are returned back into mothball status until further notice when required of their presence. There are no exceptions to the extremist rightwing Tea Party Republican refuse mindset who have no compulsion to use HI-spanics as long as they serve their gringo masters well!

                                             

Make no mistake! The white supremacist fascist Tea Party Republicans are ALWAYS attempting to hoodwink our gente (people) like the slithering snake oil charlatans that they have ALWAYS been notoriously known to be then and now to unwittingly vote against their own best interests. To our own adversaries’ dismay, they see the Brown growing numbers overwhelming their own crumbling former AmeriKKKan Empire…, and this terrifies the extremist Neanderthal Republicans to the core without a doubt! Most white AmeriKKKan bigots are terrified as they perceive Brown people today as the biggest threat to their own survival as a Euro-American dying race! However, once they entice our Raza through deceit and lies to vote for these Republicans, these same treacherous back stabbing two faced rightists will later discard and forget their Brown campaign bought and paid for “volunteers” and constituents who voted for them! “It’s back to your reservation Pedro! Your services are no longer needed hea!” Did you hear this you HI-spanic Republicanos VENDIDOS?! YOU water carrying Hi-spanics are just their useful idiots! Comprendes?!

                                       

…And surprisingly enough, there have been many HI-spanic Republican “brownies” that have bitten the GOP “bait”…, hook, line and sinker mantra! Many of these self-hating “brown” hacienda (plantation) overseer Tejanos are also notoriously known to even stoop down and mimic their white bigoted “friends” as they call their own unfortunate exploited Brown undocumented immigrant brethren with racist anti-immigrant derogatory terms as; “mojados” (“wetbacks”)…, and worse so they can be “accepted” by their onlooking gringo “amigos”…, for the right price $$$ of course! This is the same analogy as Black Americans calling their own Black brethren with racist epithets that racist whitey denigrates them with!

The African American communities in America have fought very hard for many decades if not over a century and a half since they were forcefully uprooted from their ancestral mother continent of Africa. Thereby, today they are raising their own Black pride and cultural self-awareness through their own civil rights organizations and their successful Black American owned media. When this Mexican journalist/writer worked for several Black owned publications many years ago and even as recently as eight months ago, I was fortunate enough to observe and learn their “not looking back” aggressive mindset they have developed against all odds thrown at them. Black and Brown people in Occupied America have the same oppressor as WE both have fought and died fighting against those who continue their attacks against ALL people of color without abatement!

This is one primary reason why WE in the resistance must ALWAYS remain UNITED against OUR common enemy…, white supremacy! As Blacks and Browns, WE still have a long ways to succeed in our efforts to stop and defeat our own despicable self-loathing kneegrow and HI-spanic malcontent obstructionists who wish they were born with a white skin like their gringo slave masters! It must clearly be understood that our struggle is mutual. It’s NOT a “Black or Brown thing”…, it’s a struggle for our very own survival as an oppressed people…, period! There are no “ifs” or ‘buts” in the resistance against our common enemies who seek our demise!

I have a close relative in Brownsville, Texas who was a prominent elected politico quite a few  years ago as he was approached by the state GOP Republican ruling powers that be, to run for a Congressional seat as a Republican, but when an unknown white Republican decided to also run, guess what folks?! The same Republican Party stalwarts who asked my relative to run with their blessings and backing…, they immediately dumped him cold before the state GOP’s spit hit the ground and abruptly turned 180 degrees and went on to support the white unknown candidate instead for the obvious reasons of race! This is how racist and back stabbing treacherous these white Republicans can be to protect and preserve their own gringo self interests. Ironically, in the final analysis, both lost to a Democrat. It’s also important to understand that not all “democrats” are immune to these same racist divide and conquer shenanigans as well.

                                    

As far as my relative’s Republican “backers” were concerned, he was just another expendable “messcan” HI-spanic whose “services” were no longer needed…, for now until further notice! My relative eventually “got the message” and switched his political party’s allegiance and affiliation as he turned around and registered as a “democrat”. It’s important to note that the majority of the voters in the RGV vote Democrat, but included in the fray, there exists a few renegade HI-spanic Republican Kool Aid drinkers who no doubt can also be found in the mix within the Texas RepublicKKKlansmen cesspool such as the likes of Tea Party member, U.S. Senator, Ted “The Cuban Gusano” Cruz!. This does not go on to say that there are not some HI-spanic and cracKKKah Texas “democrats” who behave and act like closet RepublicsKKKumbags. I call these specific HI-spanic “democrats”…, Coconut Dixiecrat Judases.”

After many years as a community activist in attempting to UNITE Black and Brown oppressed peoples throughout my immediate environment on a personal level and the U.S. through my internet, e-mail Face Book, etc. I can now see how this effort is genuinely finally taking root after all. In spite that on a one on one collective front, Blacks and Browns are succeeding in the same struggle in the name of collective UNITY. Collectively, WE are still a long ways to stop many of our own despicable self-loathing plantation Stepnfetchit kneegrows and HI-spanic hacienda sombrero and serape wearing peon malcontents. Instead of having one battlefront trench to focus on the actual white supremacist enemies, WE abhorrently have three battlefronts; …, racism, anti-immigrant xenophobia and our own despicable RACE TRAITORS of “color”, especially those who look like NOSOTROS! This is why WE must ALWAYS continue to be vigilant of these contaminated infected two legged sewer Black and Brown cockroaches within our midst that also looks like us! What irony!

Some renegade HI-spanic “Tejanos”, even adamantly refuse to identify with their own Chicano, Mexican or even Mexican American national origins and much less speak their own cultural language…, Espanol! When I come across many of these types of tapados agringados (white washed) “brown” basura (trash) here in our own present barrio of East L.A. or from my native Brownsville, Texas…, I have a tendency to just vomit all over them and hide in shame from this kind of “human” self-hating excrement! This is like some Black Brothers who attempted to “conk” their natural hair during the ole days of yore! Yep! …It’s no different alright! …NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

“IGNORANCE AND SELF-HATRED FOR ONESELF HAS NO BORDERS OR SKIN COLOR!” 

On a final very important note, during my upcoming impending retirement, I intend to make an attempt in initiating a future national campaign to declassify NOSOTROS who are born in this nation from the continuous assault on Nuestra Raza through their never ending Manifest Destiny ala Euro-Americanization to classify NUESTRA RAZA as “Caucasian” or “White” on OUR own birth certificates. I NEVER did understood why our enemies decided to classify NOSOTROS as such when the total opposite is true! WE are NOT “White”, “Caucasian” or even European “HI-spanics”! In this land WE are Mexicans/Chicanos/Raza/Indigenous People in Occupied America…, PERIOD!  I refer to ALL our Brown people under one umbrella from every Spanish speaking nation as…, RAZA!  Yes, it’s going to be a very arduous long struggle to maintain our cultural and sovereign identity as WE are being denied our sovereign rights as one Brown Raza…, but NEVER impossible!

“ONLY IF WE UNITE AND FIGHT AS ONE RAZA…, VICTORY WILL BE A FAIT ACCOMPLI!”

“DEFEAT OUR ENEMIES WITHOUT MERCY…, AND DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING FOR THE VULTURES TO FEAST ON THEIR CARCASS!”

SI SE PUEDE! / YES WE CAN!

 “TO CALL YOURSELF A CHICANO.., YOU HAVE TO BE MEXICANO FIRST!”

“BEWARE RACIST AMERICA! …A DARK CLOUD IS BREWING AS WAR OF ATTRITION WITH TEA PARTY REPUBLICAN FASCISM IS SETTING ON YOUR HORIZON IN 2016!”
