HISPANIC LABELS Section 2 Hispania comes from the Latin language of the Romans, referring to the country of Spain [Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language (1993) by Thunder Bay Press]. From the word Hispania comes the word “Hispanic” which refers to the people, the language, the culture, and all things related to Spain. Spain is a country in southern Europe. We, the people of Mexican and “Central American” descent, are not Spaniards or Europeans, and we are not in Europe. We are a Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) people. We are one people who are **Mixed-blood (so-called Mestizo Indigenous) and Full-blood Indigenous people. We are on our own Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) land, a land of great natural resources and wealth, this continent. We are a people under occupation. We are a people who have been subjected to massive rape and cultural castration. We are a people who have been forced into ignorance, self-hate and poverty (by the theft of the wealth of resources that are on our land). We are a people enslaved within the worldwide empire of European racism, Genocide, theft, greed, and capitalism. We are the people who are mislabeled as “Indians” and insulted as “half-breeds”, “wetbacks”, or illegals (May we ask who crossed that great Atlantic body of water, to fraudulently and illegally enter our land?). Overall we are ignored as a people because we are ignorantly looked on as the remnants of a long-ago conquest of an **inferior people. This ignorance is not just the ignorance of European descent people on our land; it is also the ignorance of our own people.

THE LATIN LIE Section 6 Latin refers to the language and the culture of the Romans. This language is the root of the southern European Latin languages: Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Rumanian, and several other numerically smaller dialects derivative of Latin. From the word Latin comes the Spanish word “Latino”, which refers to the people, the languages, the culture, and all things related to the southern Europeans whose culture is rooted in the Latin language and the Roman culture. The secondary historical meaning of the word “Latin” is in its reference to the southern European colonial powers who invaded our **Western Hemisphere. They (Spaniards, French, and Portuguese) had in common a European heritage and race, a Latin derived language, the **Catholic religion, and racist colonialism in the “Americas”. These racist colonialists invaded our Western Hemisphere’s lands. They did this with a genocidal savagery that the world has yet to see again. The holocaust of World War II Jews, Gypsies, and other people of Europe doesn’t even come close to the percentage of our population that was killed or to the cultural destruction that we have suffered in the Western Hemisphere. Estimates of the overall Genocide in the Western Hemisphere are between 70 and 100 million human lives killed by biological warfare, being worked to death, executed, massacred, or by the suicide of our own people to avoid the tortures and mutilations of the Europeans. This “Latin” branding of our people, the Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) people of this continent, as property of these southern Europeans is a total fraud. We are not their property just because they forced upon us their names, language, religion, and the enslavement of our people. This sick inhuman behavior is pretty much the way they renamed our continent “America” and “Latin America”, and how they renamed our rivers and mountains. It is this racist arrogance that has Europeans on our lands (refusing to leave), and how they dared to rename us as a people, as if we have already been exterminated (culturally and physically) and that we have lost our rights to our land and its wealth, and that we have lost our right to even express ourselves as Nican Tlaca (an Indigenous people), and our right to demand our land back. They find our rights laughable. The origin of the word “Latino” in this context derives from the term “Latin America”. This was to distinguish the “Latin” part of “America” from the Anglo-American Protestant part of “America”. This term was in reference to the European descent people in all of those colonial lands. There is a curious part to all of this though, since Latino was clearly only meant to be in reference to the colonists in that “Latin American” part of this Hemisphere and was never meant to refer to Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) people and it was clearly not meant to refer to the Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) people in the United States (us, the people of Mexican and “Central American” descent, the Nican Tlaca, Indigenous, Full-bloods and Mixed-bloods). It was always intended to refer to the Europeans in their colonies, and the descendants of those colonists in the Western Hemisphere. It was not meant for the Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) people or the African slaves or the people of the mixing of all those enslaved and raped races. According to the new colonialism, a Latino can be a German-descent person in Buenos Aires, an Arab-descent person in Madrid, an African descent person in Havana or New York or Miami, a person of African descent in the Dominican Republic, or a Maya in Guatemala who speaks no Spanish and has no Spanish surname. In the “USA” these new Latinos are not **“Latino Americans”, as in “African Americans”. We are forced to be Latinos, internati in nature. We are all controlled by the white people in Europe and the white people in the lost colonies of the Spaniards. This new colonialism is not dependant on race or history, it is totally put together for the colonial economic exploitation of our people and our land, and the total benefit of “white” Europeans and European-descent Spanish speakers. This new colonialism puts an odd spin on everything that is logical and fair. We, who are Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) in our majority (90 to 99%) are controlled by Spaniard descent Full-blood Europeans and other Europeans who are a tiny minority. Yet, we find nothing wrong with that. It seems natural and reasonable to us. “Latinos” are now anyone, of any race or culture, in Los Angeles, Chicago, San Antonio, Mexico City, or anywhere in the world that there is a Spanish speaking or Spanish surname people (except Filipinos, and people in Africa who speak Spanish, for some strange reason). Can you imagine such a thing being d in Africa, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Jamaica, and Aborigines in Australia? Do you see it now; the idea of an “umbrella” to include all of the Spanish language speakers makes as much sense as putting an “umbrella” over all of the English language speakers. This same lack of logic and obvious colonialism also goes for the Hispanic label, which is not even about Hispanic Americans. This Hispanic label is about “Hispanics everywhere”. Logic, consistency, and truth fail miserably on this Hispanic/Latino agenda. For us, it is a total disaster. A disaster that is over 500 years in the making.
