I'll be in San Antonio then, pues yo te...Coolness. I'll be in San Antonio then, pues yo tendra que pasar por esos eventos con mis sobrinos.<BR/><BR/>It's amazing how much of our history and culture I've picked up at these events. The way we're "taught" history in our schools, it's like selective amnesia in the US textbooks. They try to almost delete the Mexican War, in my book as a kid they even tried to make it out like Anglos brought civilization to the heathen darkies south of the border. No mention of the fact that the US invaded Mexico in the first place to spread slavery there, which Mexico had banned in Texas and the SW-- I guess it doesn't fit in well with the usual Manifest Destiny BS about how much more civilized the Anglos were, does it?!!<BR/><BR/>One of the Heritage celebrations a while ago around Tucson, they actually went through talking about the Treaty of Cahuenga and the main one concluding the Mexican War itself. <BR/><BR/>That's the first time I ever heard about all the lies we're still fed even today in the media. Spanish got specific protection as a language *for public use* in the post-Mexican War treaties, and that means to be used in the offices and schools, and governments as well as in old-fashioned town councils. So all this crap from the Anglos about how using Spanish in school is evil, all this BS where they'd beat us for using Spanish on the playground? They're just a bunch of moron lawbreakers themselves-- Spanish is equal as English under the laws governing the Texas and SW annexation.<BR/><BR/>Es asi amigo, es la verdad que los Anglos desesperadamente temieron que averiguariamos, y ahorita no pueden mas escoger la verdad de nosotros. No voy a aguantar nunca mas las quejas idioticas de los racistas aqui!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
