BROWN KINGDOM
Two rather interesting posts out of Brown Kingdom: Why is it that you hear mexicans refer to the ”whole” United States as LOS?? and To be Chicano means to have learned of respect, to have practiced understanding, and to have been moved by social injustice to the point where the person sees it as his…

Joto power ese!
I know some in Aztlán, our own extreme right, despise the idea of homosexualism or marimachas, as forming a part of Aztlán though am not persuaded by any of their arguments. I find the whole marica/marimacha culture rather intriguing not only because I come from Tijuana, where jotos and she-males form part of the fabric…

Xicano: Militant Califas Xicano

He has been at it for a year now and the writ stuff is golden. His kind of xicanismo is one that I no longer associate myself with…

Ok, two rather odd issues are coalescing today though with a very intriguing geographic location in common: Texas. First things first. I was reading some of Daily Texican’s posts today and I was reminded of a very old sting I suffered at his hands. If you read very carefully, DT’s blog has a warning text…

one last time
I must confess that when I think of this blog its death is my wish. I want to do away with it yet somehow, it remains. This is due because all my ideas are channeled throught the spanish blog and by the time I near this blog I have emptied my soul unto God’s language.…
