patriarchism strikes again
Reading this sent revulsions of all sorts down my spine. The most famous record of slave life, Frederick Douglass’s ”Narrative,” rendered vividly the vile mix of lust and domination practiced by slave owners. This is a bunch of poo in the loo in my eyes. The most famous is by far Incidents in the Life…

Mexican elections 2006
Well, let’s git to the knilly willy of the ninny lilly. Elections in México, el suspenso is killing me. I wrote in my spanish blog that Calderón was already a winner, ooops, it’s a cultural thing would say this guy who contradicted the IFE’s version of the early poll results arguing that the northern states…

The Secret Politicians
Wish the Kos gang would have been around the turn of the 19th century, heck, what am I saying, just a few decades ago. History here. I have never liked the terms latino nor hispanic though I advocate latino more than I will ever do Hispanic. It seems that whenever the ’majority’ in the US…

Inglés Xicano
I can’t help notice the noise that the right wingnuts make regards Aztlán and Chicanos and the whole culture clash enchilada. Specially English. I still have a few problems with English. I grew up never feeling that English was part of me. It was a terrible atmosphere. Every vowel, every consonant got the third degree.…

Southwest, norteño Xicano
Some of the Xicanos in what can, & only can, be deemed as a loose confedaration of goodie-two-shoes Xican@s bloggers who can’t seem to make up their mind about nothing, have sent me an email whereby I get accused of not only being a lousy pocho but a traitor to all semiotic principles to which…

Could someone tell the Israeli friendly newsoutlet called Reuters, yes, I know, I am on the fringe of being called antisemitic, never mind am only 39 and really have not a shred of anything to do with nazis or any simpathies with a destruccion…

Technorati: the Aztlán tag
Dragging it through the mud for personal gain. I mean what else can be said of those that are insanely obsessesed with the idea that Xicanos are helt bent in returning Aztlán to México. It be suicidal, I have argued, it would be a kamikaze act on part of the Chicano people to return Aztlán…
