Our New Anahuac

I think that sometimes my friends who think that they lean even left of me look at some of my commentary about wealth with some suspicion.  I am not rich, nor have I claimed to be, nor am I even close.  I drive a 99 Tahoe and an 03 Town Car.  But I have been [...]

I have often said that small business ownership is one strategy to success for our community.  For years, scholars have documented the systematic limits and barriers for minorities in the corporate world.  One does not need to believe that every Anglo is racist to believe that there are many structural barriers which inhibit the success [...]

There have been concerns raised by government officials about the frequency with which alleged terrorism suspects have been Latino converts to terroristic Islam, which I consider different than both radical and traditional Islam.

Said Hillary Clinton on the campaign stump against Barrack Obama: “Dr. King’s dream [...]

Listen to the interview.  The disparity shocked even me.  The lack of wealth (assets) in our community is a great contributory factor to us being unable to be proactive (nation building) in our approach to Our Restoration (O/R).  Young “Latinas”: stop buying Coach purses before you own any assets.  Twenty-year-old “Latinos”: stop buying forty thousand [...]
