Would you like Jesus on your Tortilla?: Joe Bravo redefines Chicano Art
excerpt from the article:
"Bravo, 57, admits that he never consciously set out to do anything avant garde. the early 1970s, he was a starving art student at the University of California, Northridge. 'I didn't have the money to buy canvas,' he said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles, where he lives. 'I was looking at some tortillas in my kitchen and was just tripping on the textures.' So Bravo painted five tortillas with Mayan codexes and hung them as a mobile in a school exhibition..." excerpt from the article: ... more -

Ain't Gonna Work On Lou Dobbs' Farm No More
It has always been our contention that underneath the xenophobic, fear-mongering, anti-immigration rhetoric, CNN's resident "populist" Lou Dobbs is probably a good person. After all, his wife, former CNN sports anchor Debi Dobbs, is actually Mexican—how racist could the man be? It has always been our contention that underneath the xenophobic, fear-mongering, anti-immigration rhetoric, CNN's resident "... more

GOP Immigrant-bashing is Hurting Their Party, Democrats to Reap the Benefits
This renewed xenophobia towards Mexicans will bode very badly for the GOP come the general election as Hispanics are the fastest growing minority and an influential voting demographic. And yes I say Mexicans, because the vast majority of "illegal immigrants" are Mexicans and this IS a RACIAL ISSUE--if you doubt this then you might want to ask yourself: why don't they worry about securing Canada's border? If you remember terrorists didn't go through the mexican border.
Mexicans are being scapegoated once more in the history of the United States. Know your history people, in the 1930's during the depression over a million Mexicans, including american citizens (sons/daughters of mexican immigrants) were "re-patriated" to Mexico a place that had become foreign to many of them (they WERE AMERICANS.) They were shipped in trains, boats, and many drove cars south. The journey was a dangerous and sometimes a disgusting one. Some people packed into trains having to stand in their own shit and piss for hours at a time (which eerily reminds me of the trains that took holocaust victums). Mexicans were humiliated and disrespected simply for the color of their skin.
Not to mention the way Mexicans were beaten, raped and lynched during the 1840's and 50s after the U.S. stole half of Mexico in the gravely unjust and undertaught Mexican-American War. If the GOP is so hung up on respecting the law then maybe they should honor the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo a lawful agreement, that respected Mexicans right to perseve their property, language and culture. But oh yeah, the U.S. only honors laws that align with their own ignorance, bigotry, racism and homophobia. So we see an UNNECESSARY rise in hate crimes against gays and latinos, because well, it comes down to one simple elemantry thing: they're different, and we dont like people who are different. Republicans GROW UP.
Sorry, I'm latino and I'm gay so I feel like I'm getting attacked for who I am twice as much these days.
