, experts said the actions are part of a particular local context — one that is made all the more complicated by"rigid" categorizations of ethnicity.
For Hispanics in New Mexico, Lara said, recognizing themselves"as both oppressed and taking part in an oppressive system is an important and difficult journey." She cites the United States' making New Mexico a territory in 1848 as an example of how Hispanics were able to benefit from their European ancestry, while Native American people were denied U.S. citizenship.
"Whiteness figured very prominently into the creation of Hispanics, at least in the context of New Mexico," Nieto-Phillips said."If we're to truly be in allyship to Indigenous communities, I think we need to acknowledge our complicity in the roles that we've played historically, that our forebears have played, and understand that Latinx people are both the protagonists in historical justice and the progeny of colonization.
tear them down too
Time to change the names of Arizona and California. Both are Spanish. We know the Spaniards tortured and enslaved the indigenous people of both states. Then on to the names of cities and streets. Time to be 100% politically correct. 😈
Some people are so focused on past injustices that they let it get in the way of progress
Only the communists, that hate America and all the freedoms it stands for, want this. No libertarian, no conservative, no Democrat, only leftists want this. We will not let people who hate our culture dictate who we honor.
This BLM is not a peaceful equality group! It is a hate fueled racist group that will not be happy until everything white or a different color is changed. I support equality but I see BLM for what it actually is RACISM !!!!
✊🏻aw, lmao✊🏻
evolution requires letting go of the past. you see, regardless if history is or is not remembered, civilization will always have the elements to re-create it. so contrary to the popular belief that 'by not knowing the past, we are doomed to repeat it'; it wouldnt matter anyway.
Maravilloso 😂🤣
The Spanish were and in some cases, still are, racist. Remove the statues. Those dudes subjugated and oppressed the native peoples.
Statues got to go. If Native and Mexican people come together to get rid of them, that means they must go.
You are Trump's only chance, NBC
this is why a movement needs to keep it simple stick with confederate statues easy simple instead of picking these complicated statues where you have to make yourself judge and Jury and will create a Political backlash TheYoungTurks msnbc Joebiden salon nbclatino
The most accurate test to confirm lunacy is when someone tries to draw a moral equivalence for someone who lived over 100 years ago. Stupid, stupid, stupid! The CancelCulture is about to be permanently canceled!
The ones that celebrate it here in NM tend to be ones from families that received stolen land given to them in land grants. They know their 'ranches' were free but still pretend they earned it all.
For the Spanish it's just some history, for the indigenous peoples of South America it's genocide, and the latter always trumps the former, every time, thus endeth the lesson
The headline poses a false dichotomy
