Spanish Harlem

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem/ A red rose up in Spanish Harlem/ It is the special one, it's never seen the sun. It only comes out when the moon is on the run.....

Saint Barbara..whitewashing Fiesta???

 Fiesta is coming up and my question is where are the Spanish folks? it seems Fiesta has been hijacked by conservative white people, the absolute worst kind...the flag wavers, the chickenhawks, the bible-thumpers....oh yeah they are all pro-life except when you're a Mexican kid at the border, then they want to kill you..let me remind my white brethren, we invaded America illegally and stole everything....so yee should not be so quick to judge others..besides, we opene the borders and invited the Mexican folks to come on over to help us with the WWII effort...and this is the thanks they get??

now you'll notice on the front page of the News-Press a picture of white chick with a hoody...read into that what you may, but this gal is the pick for Saint Barbara for this year's Fiesta...she was picked by a group called The Native Daughters of the Golden West...I remember this group because ol' Mike Self was part of it...'member Mike Self, the funny old gal on the city council who hated bulb-outs and unions...and bananas!!


The Native Daughters of the Golden West is a fraternal and patriotic organization founded on the principles of

Love of Home
Devotion to the Flag
Veneration of the Pioneers
Faith in the Existence of God
of course the NDGW is a tax-exempt non-profit- a little reseach or common sense will tell you they have a racist background..they can deny it all they want but they are racists...and they exclude people who aren't "native"!! how does a nonprofit get away with such discrimination?? (IRS!!! TARGET!!!) "When I first heard of Native Daughters/Sons of the Golden West, I wondered why a charitable organization would exclude membership based on nativity.
Then it occurred to me that it could be a subtle way to exclude certain parts of the population. I looked it up, and according to the NSGW wiki article, it was formed under white racist fundamentals" quote from web

In the post-pioneer period, "Hangman’s Tree" became a generic place-name and the subject of fakelore. Many towns boasted of having one, and invented or exaggerated the number of people killed. In 1896 a San Francisco paper repeated the legend that over forty people "passed into eternity" from the largest limb of Hangman’s Oak near Copperopolis. The next year, newspapers across the nation printed a syndicated story—a fond and plainly racist obituary—about the "famous gallows tree of San Bernardino." From its branches, supposedly, more than fourteen men had "swung into eternity," and in its shade "some of the most thrilling events in the history of the wresting of the golden state of California from Indian half breeds and Mexican domination have been planned." In the 1930s the Native Daughters of the Golden West erected plaques to commemorate the genuine lynching trees in Jackson and in Placerville, seat of El Dorado County. A generation later, a second plaque erected beside Placerville city hall asked for empathy for the executioners: "let us not judge them too harshly for those were the rough days of the great gold rush."
