I love my people:
the Nican Tlaca,
the Indigenous people of this continent,
the Full-blood and the Mixed-blood,
all of them
from the North to the South
from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.
I love who we are
as civilizations and cultures:
a people of genius, passion, creativity.
I love all of who are,
who we were,
the whole of our past,
where we were once
a people of original civilizations
going back to 3700 B.C.
We built our first civilizations
in the Caral Supe area
in the south of our continent, in Peru,
there our civilizations were first born and grew.
Our civilizations
are older
than the civilizations of Egypt,
older than anything in Europe.
We were the first people who approached Our Creator
in a scientific way,
a way that was
all about loving Our Creator
through science and logic, understanding and enlightenments,
and not
of fearing Our Creator
through superstition and delusion, ignorance and fantasy,
pretense and hypocrisy.
We were a people devoted to Our Creator
in a scientific and logical way
We were also a people
who invented
original approaches to
astronomy, mathematics, writing, calendar making,
engineering, architecture, art , education, medicine,
agriculture, literature, government,
and so much more.
All of these great accomplishments
are unknown by our people
in any
real way.
We don't care
about these accomplishments
even when we learn about them.
But we need to learn a new way to learn:
to learn without the Europeans
telling us what is important,
telling us what is in our interests.
What should really matter today
is the beauty of our past,
the reality of our past,
not the white supremacist lies:
that defame and insult us.
We should know
of the past science and the genius
of our people,
and the future potential of our people.
All of this knowledge of accomplishments and genius
should be
a great motivator for our people
but it’s not.
It’s not there
But
if we studied our heritage,
if we were guided in our studies
with pride and honor,
if it was popular to embrace
our heritage of great accomplishments,
then we would once again live in pride as a free people.
All of this would make us the pride of the world,
if we were conscious of the facts
of the great accomplishments of our people,
the great potential of our people.
All of this knowledge and pride
would wake
the warrior and intellectual in our people,
would wake the honor in our people,
would wake the courage and the discipline
of a great people, of us.
But all of this would require us to
be educated in our heritage
and to be
brave in confronting
the fact that we are being robbed every day
of the wealth of our continent,
all of this enriching
of the European colonial settlers on our continent.
They grow rich from the minerals, forests, farmland,
and the other wealth of our continent
while we are forced to live in poverty, slavery, ignorance and disgrace.
The white supremacists claim that we
did nothing with our land
and that they made better use of it.
Where in Europe could they get “free land”
Where in Europe could they get “free gold and silver”
Where in Europe could they get “free slaves”
Where in Europe could they get any of that.
But we believe that Columbus was all about exploration
not about getting free land, free gold, free slaves
and killing our people with smallpox.
We believe the Pilgrims were here for freedom.
They were here for free land, free gold and free silver
and killing our people with smallpox.
Spaniards or English, they came to our lands
as criminals.
They came only as thieves and pirates,
murderers and rapists,
slavers and deceitful people,
immoral people, unethical people,
only as white supremacists.
Only with those criminal minds
could they have achieve what they achieved:
the theft of a whole continent
and the holocaust killing of 95% of the population
a genocide of smallpox
that killed 70 to 100 million of our people.
That’s quite an accomplishment.
We are only the 5% that survived
of what was our population in the 16th century.
We control 0% of our continent, 0% of our own wealth.
We are 100% slaves of the white race.
Slaves without chains on our wrists and feet
but chains on our minds and our hearts.
They must have monuments and books
of pride
to show all of that infamy.
But they don’t,
they hide all of that criminal, savage, inhuman behavior
and at the same time
hide all of our civilizations
and our accomplishments,
our cities that were larger
than he cities of Europe,
and the simple fact
that this is still our continent
and that
all of the wealth of this continent is still ours.
This can all be corrected, made into truth and justice.
But we actually need to do something
and not just wait for the white man to give us truth or justice.
We need to take back our heritage
and we need to take back
the warrior courage of our ancestors,
but in a way that is intelligent
and that will bring the actions that will
educate and liberate our people.
We don't need drugs or materialism.
We don't need capitalism or communism.
We don’t need rituals and ceremonies,
or music and dancing, nor hiphop or danza.
We need education for total liberation,
we need actions, not words,
not the bullshit of New Age,
or the nonsense of Eastern religions,
Taoism, Buddhism,
or the slavery, cowardice, fantasies,
hypocrisy and lies
of Christianity.
Our actions
should be
for educating our people in our interests
as a Nican Tlaca people, a united Nican Tlaca people.
Our actions should be honorable and
liberating,
and an inspiration
for all of the non-white nations of this planet.
We should not behave
as the Europeans have behaved
in the last 500 years:
with dishonor, lies, and violence.
We need to embrace our heritage,
as it would have progressed
in the last 500 years,
---not stuck in 1491 without progress
as the cowards of our people want us to think
and the negativity that the vendidos want us to see.
We should become a renewed creative force in the world.
We should be the scientists, the innovators,
the sparks of genius
leading
all of humanity to a better world,
as we once did,
with our ancestors.
So much beauty and genius is ours to take pride in
but it is in a dim light, in darkness.
It is in slavery, in poverty.
It is in ignorance of that beauty and genius.
We are in ignorance
of the accomplishments of our ancestors.
We should be beaming with pride every day.
We should love each other
for being part
of so much genius and beauty.
But that is not the way it is at all.
We just see each other
as gangsters,
losers, drug addicts, potential prison inmates,
and potential victims of each other.
We see ourselves
as poverty,
and as a people with no future, no past.
To us in our igrnorance,
being Nican Tlaca
only means seeing ourselves
only as the orange sellers in the street,
as the ignorance of our people,
as the foolish people that we appear to be.
Even when we are millionaires
and well educated with PhDs
and our own businesses
we are just as ignorant about our heritage
as the poorest
and the least educated of our people.
We, as wealthy people,
as Eurocentric educated people,
are just as unproud of our people
as the least educated and the poorest of our people.
So, just being educated is not enough.
We need to be educated in our interests as Nican Tlaca.
We need to be educated as a race of people
who once did great things
and who are capable
of doing great things in the future.
But poor or rich, educated or ignorant,
we are today proud of all the wrong things,
stupid things, ignorant things.
We are proud of the materialistic things,
egotistical things,
drugs and all the toys,
the things that European culture has given us to play with,
in exchange for making us slaves,
in exchange for staying cowards,
and in exchange for
them continuing to steal all of the wealth of our continent,
in exchange for us keeping quiet,
for not challenging white supremacy.
All of this ignorance, poverty, and disgrace
makes no sense for a people
with such a rich heritage,
such vast amounts of proof
for our genius and creativity.
We have
hundreds of sacred sites, archeological sites,
with thousands of buildings
and tens of thousands of pieces of art,
and hundreds of pages of our literature
that have survived,
in spite of all of the destruction
and the burnings
that the Europeans did…
…but most of our people do not care
about any of it, not in any real way.
We have NOT been taught to appreciate
the importance and the beauty of our heritage.
We have not been taught to appreciate such genius.
It is the foreigners
who are the majority
at the sacred archeological sites
and it is the foreigners who appreciated our heritage
and write books about the beauty
and genius of our people.
Ironically it is the non-racist European foreigners
who now adore
the great accomplishments of our heritage.
They appreciate the beauty, genius, and greatness
of our ancestors.
Meanwhile instead of creating beauty
and works of genius
we sing stupid songs of love and lust,
narco-corridos,
with words that do not educate or liberate.
We get drunk, watch soccer and novelas,
listen to the colonialism
that Christina la gusana gives us on tv,
that Don Francisco the German Spanish speaker vomits on us.
They also waste our time and money
with Lakers, tattoos, gang culture,
or in the culture of drug addiction and alcoholism.
A waste of time.
A waste of money.
Time that could have been used in educating and liberating.
Money that could have been used in educating and liberating.
The rich and the poor of us do all of this,
and all the in-between of us do these pendejadas too,
these wastes of time, these wastes of our life.
We have been crippled intellectually,
philosophically, psychologically.
We have been mutilated and disconnected
from our heritage and our lands.
We have been divided
by European borders, European languages,
and we have been divided
by the rape of our people,
by the scarring of our DNA.
We have been deeply damaged
by the cultural castration of our people,
that cultural castration which
is our disconnect from our ancestors,
our disconnect from our full humanity.
We have been robbed of our land and its wealth.
We somehow need to understand the importance
of being robbed of our land and its wealth.
In Mexico, “Central America”, Canada, the U.S.
and throughout all of our continent
whites control and profit
from the wealth of our continent.
And we just watch them
steal it and steal it from us.
In the meantime if someone steals
one of our toys or our car
we are willing to kill
for the music, the money.
We don’t get it.
We don’t want to get it.
Our land, our continent
is
our mother and our father
and they are being raped.
And we do nothing.
We do not care.
We have been taught to not care.
We have also been robbed of our identity
and we now only have
the false Hispanic/Latino identities,
our identities as the slaves of the white race.
We are also left without an ounce of courage
when it comes to defending our people,
unless it’s personal, or gang related,
or going to fight for the white man
in some non-white lands.
And we are not thinkers, only thinkers of irrelevancies.
We gladly intellectualize about the Renaissance,
European literature, art, and Romans and Greeks.
We find courage, intellect, and pride for all the wrong things.
We go out and kill for the USA.
Killing non-white people
who never did us any wrong.
But we will continue to defend the white man,
the one who killed 95% of our people
and stole 100% of our land
and all of its wealth.
That we will do, with our lives,
losing arms and legs, losing our lives proudly.
And we will kill each other
for no good reason
or for money or for sex.
Who taught us all of this shit, this dishonor,
this selfishness, this foolishness?
It is not our heritage.
Greed is placed before us as good,
immorality as normal,
cheating, stealing, and dishonor
are all things that
we learned from white people.
We have learned to be evil and dishonorable
just like them.
We have succeeded in being
totally just like them,
except that we are still their slaves,
and they are still stealing the wealth of our continent.
This is how bad it is.
But it gets worse.
Add to this that we call ourselves Hispanic or Latino.
Add to this that the Spaniard Cubans
and the Spaniards and other Europeans born in Mexico
and the other Latin Colonial Settler Nations
control all of our governments, the media and education,
and the wealth of our people.
They control it all.
Add to this that all of our writers and artists,
professors and intellectuals,
have sold out to the colonial Hispanic/Latino interests
that control our lives.
But then there is also the illusion, the falseness
that just because some of us
intellectually understand all of this
holocaust and genocide of our people
and that we are outraged by all of this;
we think
that understanding and outrage
are actually “ACTIONS”.
Knowledge and outrage
does not mean that we are changing
any of this disgrace
that our people are in.
Our main problem is still white supremacy.
White supremacy is our problem.
The end of white supremacy is the end of all of our problems.
Ending white supremacy would end colonialism.
Ending colonialism
would end the European occupation of our continent.
White supremacy keeps us enslaved to white culture
and to enriching white people on our continent,
and keeping us poor, in disgrace, in dishonor.
You get rid of colonialism and white supremacy
and we are a free people
working and planning
for the liberated future of our people.
It’s that simple.
But the situation seems hopeless.
We hear it from our people
in their cowardice and ignorance,
they say:
“You can’t do anything about it”
“You better just look out for yourself,
because we’re losers as a people.”
“You can’t fight the white man,
he’ll kill you man”
But there is hope.
We have been in this holocaust, this genocide,
for over 500 years.
But there is hope.
We can get out of this
but it requires more
than just talk, or me writing this,
or your reading this,
or hearing this.
It requires that you participate
in the work that we are doing,
that you help out
with all of what it takes
to educate and liberate our people.
But first
we all should learn to have shame in not participating
in the education and liberation of our people
---especially when we are at parties wasting time
or shopping spending money on useless toys or junk.
It is because we just party and spend money shopping
and do drugs or alcohol
that we are failing to educate and liberate
ourselves and our people.
We need to be shamed for our cowardice,
for our failure to learn and to teach,
for our failure to get up off our knees
from white supremacy.
And then there’s activities that we need to stop
that keep us from being thinkers:
when we are too involved in gangs and crime
or doing the drugs and alcoholism,
that keeps us slaves;
again we are failing to educate and liberate ourselves
or to help our people.
Even when you spend all your time on your private business
making money, money, money,
money becomes your life
and you are still a slave,
an ignorant slave.
Learn shame, but also learn honor and discipline.
Learn to live your life in a meaningful way:
the way of education and liberation for our people.
We at the Mexica Movement
will continue to beat the drum of knowledge,
for knowledge through the internet,
at protests,
with lectures,
pickets, boycotts,
and continuous education
for the liberation of our people.
We are teaching Nican Tlaca knowledge,
enabling courage and vision for our people
to learn more.
We will continue to be warriors defending our people
against the white supremacy of the Anglos
and the white supremacy of the Miami Cubans
and the white supremacy of the Spaniards who control
Mexico and the rest of the Spanish-speaking areas of our continent.
We will continue to work to open the eyes of our people,
point out all of the ongoing evils being done to our people
by white supremacists like
Lou Dobbs, Mel Gibson,
or Christina la gusana,
or by white supremacist vendidos like
Eddie Olmos, Lalo Alcaraz, or Sandra Cisneros.
We need to be honest about all of this.
We all need to do something about this,
not just read or talk.
We can be reading and talking about this
for the next 500 years
and nothing will change,
unless we take actions,
actions like the work that we are doing
with the Mexica Movement
Come join us
in our work, donate money for the expenses
that come with doing the work that we do.
We need help, lawyers, artists, internet help.
Everyone wants someone else to take care of the problems
someone else to pay the bills,
to fight for us, to teach us.
They declare all of this
from their seated position
on the keyboard of the internet.
That is how we have been conditioned to react:
to do nothing.
Actually doing something
seems to be the biggest problem
for our people.
It’s not so much the white man,
but what the white man has done to our minds,
what the white man has done to our courage.
Don’t be one of those:
“Yes, tomorrow I will help”
“Oh, I really support you”
“Yeah, yeah, you’re right, ahh…good luck”
Sit and think about this
and figure out
just exactly
what it is that you can do to help
in the education and liberation work
that we are doing at the Mexica Movement.
I know, we don’t have a tradition of working
to end white supremacy
and to end the colonialism
that rules our lives.
It is not part of our colonial culture.
It’s time we started.
Let’s start a tradition of
liberation through Nican Tlaca education
through the work of the Mexica Movement
Let’s start by learning to honestly love our people,
so that we can all say honestly and proudly:
I love my people:
the Nican Tlaca,
the Indigenous people of this continent,
the Full-blood and the Mixed-blood,
all of them
from the North to the South
from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.
I love who we are
as civilizations and cultures:
a people of genius, passion, creativity;
I love all of who are,
who we were,
the whole of our past
where we were
a people of civilizations going back to 3700 B.C.,
civilizations older civilization than Egypt.
We were a people who approached Our Creator
in scientific way that was all about loving Our Creator
and not of fearing Our Creator.
We were also a people who invented original approaches to
astronomy, mathematics, writing, calendar making,
engineering, architecture, art , education, medicine,
agriculture, literature, government, and so much more.
I love my people: past, present, and future;
and I will live every day
to educate and liberate myself
so that I can continue to educate and liberate my people.
It is a beautiful thing to authentically
love your people,
with pride,
and with a sense
that you are participating
in what it takes to get them out of
the enslaved condition that we all live in.
This is the invitation:
The Mexica Movement needs your help
in helping us
educate and liberate our people.
Those of you who are intelligent enough,
and with courage enough,
to be part of this liberation movement
should immediately start getting involved.
No more fear, no more procrastination,
don't worry what you family thinks
or what your vendido or vendida friends think.
Use your intelligence, embrace your courage
and be part of the education and liberation work
of the Mexica Movement.

Olintzin, you are not alone! I also love my race and my civilization. I am fully confident that we will rise out of this situation. The movement is growing. The true history and knowledge is spreading. Let's not take that for granted.
You are an inspiration not just the word you write but with the work you have accomplished.
