Tezcatlipoca: An Aztec God of the second sun, lies and deciet. He often came forth in the form of a Jaguar. His name means "the smoking mirror" probably a reference to the lies he told.
Interesting that this artist with his distorted views is named after such a diety.
lmao...they reject it within their DNA...haha
My dad went to Roosevelt just prior to WW2. I don't remember him telling me about any wall or MECHA. Things must have changed since then.
So are they all going to stop speaking Spanish and resort to one of the Mayan or Olmec or Aztec languages?
Aztecs were cannibals.
"I ask Tezcatlipoca about this shared struggle, if there's not something to teaching students that America is a melting pot — e pluribus unum — the one place where people from different backgrounds can live together and try to work things out without obsessing on the past.
He doesn't buy it. He notes that Jews haven't forgotten their Holocaust."
These Mexica cats are racists, pure and simple.
These are the people who want to rewrite history. There was no native Indian "empire." Part of the reason the Europeans were able to take over was because of that fact. There were thousands of mostly independent, often competing, often hostile native groups and tribes. The Aztecs were made acutely aware of this fact shortly after Cortes arrived and made friends with some of their enemies.
Cortez did the world a favor by destroying Aztec culture. Having a culture next door that features human sacrifice would make even the Muslims seem rational.
Do white folks REALLY want Mexicans, or Puerto Ricans, or African Americans to assimilate into their race/culture? What does assimilation mean anyway?
If it means speaking English, shopping at the mall, and watching the Dallas Cowboys, then I would say that all of these folks are doing just fine. Peaceful coexistence is all I expect from my fellow Americans. I really don't care if folks choose to segregate themselves into neighborhoods/cafeteria tables/cliques.
What would the Fedgov and stategov's do if any other school were 99.1% white? or 88.1% black?
I suggest that all those who romanticize the Mayan, Aztec and other indigenous cultures, quit using the Judeo/Christian/Greek/Roman/Anglo inventions,medicine developments of law and concepts of human rights, their methods of husbandry and go back to their roots, killing their children in sacrificial ceremonies, raiding each other for victims.
At the same time they were living like that, the Greeks and the Romans developing the seeds of the civilization in which we now live. Certainly there is much wrong in today's America, but there are ways to fix things without destroying the whole society and it is not to bring back ancient,indigenous cultures.
I, myself, have Indian blood. I am respectful and thankful for the good that existed in those ancestors and I want knowledge of that preserved. It certainly was not the Indian's fault that they did not have the same giants upon which to build their civilization and it is also certain that they were intelligent, but when I contemplate the good that comes from my roots, I know that the Europeans conferred much more good on us than did the Indians.
This hatred for Europeans is really illogical and destructive. We all need to give credit to the good where ever we find it.
