Protesters In Portland

 Today I read an article regarding some protesters in Portland, Oregon.

Evidently they toppled over statues of former Presidents Roosevelt and Lincoln presumably for their hostility towards Native Americans. 

As I read that article I wondered how many of those protesters are Native American or at least have a significant amount of Native American in their background. I'm going to venture to say that very few, if any!

I'm approximately half Native American and half European, mostly Iberian (Spanish/Portuguese). To be exact, I'm 42% Native, 42% European, about 2% - 5% North African and the rest is undefined. For all practical purposes and intents I'm Mestizo, as described by Jose Vasconcelos in "La Raza Cosmica." It is from this notion of Mestizo and La Raza Cosmica that the name of my blog comes from.  Raza Nueva means New Race - a new culture, a new people.

Espanol Yndia Serrana...Produce Mestizo

(Spanish and Indian produce Mestizo)

I'm Mestizo, I'm a mix of Native American and White European. I'm a member of the new race, the new culture, the people, born when the white conquistadors intermixed with the native population. If anyone has anything to say about Christopher Columbus it should be me and my people, not those violent, destructive, anarchist protesters.

If anyone has gripes against Roosevelt and Lincoln for their hostility towards Native Americans it should be me and my people, not those protesters.

The world can rest assured that those protesters do not represent me! They do not speak for me! I do not need their assistance in any way, form, nor fashion. Those protesters are just violent and destructive anarchists. All they want is a reason to carry out their destructive behavior.
