Movies television shows game shows commercials etc. This zebra apartheid programming elevates the status and importance of blacks and whites to the exclusion of every other minority. Hispanics have also died at the hands of police but there is not this obsessive sick chronic attention.

This was in the 60’s and he heard them say that “We don’t ever need to do anything about the chicano movement or the people. They are their own worst enemy. They will do the job for us by bringing each other down.”

Idk where he is now but i hope he is still teaching cause after that class... I never had any mexican history taught. He even encouraged the walk out. We walked out and there was cops on the other side which made us go back to school. We wanted more change in our school

Some of the comments on this video are disturbing. There is no zebra apartheid. Without question there are ignorant so-called black who, like some Chicano peoples, do not know the whole story between Chicanos and blacks. I am a child of the late 60’ and 70’s. I know who I befriended, I know who had my back, and I know who is my family. Yes, that includes Chicano peoples. Chicano neighborhoods were the only place blacks immigrating from the south could live. To my knowledge Chicano families were welcoming. How do I know...because I lived the experience. My friends, my classmates, my teammates, etc. was made up of a few Asians, blacks, Chicanos, and a few white kids. Let’s not get caught up in the BS and nonsense perpetrated by fools on either side and the media. The bottom line - White supremacist don’t want use to connect or team up like our people did in the past to achieve productive results. So be smart...think for yourself and question authority!

Most Mexican Americans living in Texas do not speak English. When you living in a border state, when you live in a mono-cultural society, and when you live in a place in which apathy of English is plentiful and exposure to Mexican culture is normal, even in schools, then the results are going to very uneven. I am not talking about just carrying a conversation. I am talking about functioning on parity with average native-speakers of English at the minimum. This explains why Mexican Americans in the state are not confident in their English enough to choose lifetime careers in which Spanish is the main language. So tell me what you think.
