Victor Mariachi is representing Chicano Hip-Hop 4 Raza str8 out of Atlanta. Our interview was interesting... gives an outside view on what drives a Rap Artist in present day society through a Chicano paradigm. Attempting to fill a void in the Hip-Hop Community is a strong means of expression for Chicanos. His talent & perserverence I believe is part of his character that transcends Chicano Identity. Our conversation was firme porque this young Vato keeps it real and understands the impact of his message. He might surprise you with his powerful delivery or content as a Lyricist. His personal style is a studied array of some of the greatest influencers to have pioneered Hip-Hop. He along with only a few others carry the Crux of Hip-Hop's Chicano Legacy for the next generation so check out the interview for more details. We need more talented individuals to master the art form since so many of us are listening. It is our obligation 2 support fellow Chicanos when they represent our values and place in the culture of Hip-Hop. Only within this reciprocity should we expect to influence this Music Genre. In return we could own part of the Hip-Hop Industry especially as more artist personify our message as our equity stake. Don't just take my word for it.... Check him out on Spotify or Youtube under "Victor Mariachi"! We definitely need more motivated individuals to express a place for Chicanos in Hip-Hop and he's better than most of the Chicano Rappers out in the game right now. So don't sleep on this brother just because he's not big time yet because I have a feeling he will be! This interview took place on September 22, 2021. Here is a link to "White Walls" on YouTube featuring another one of our soldados in the rap game going under the alias "Aztec Speech" https://youtu.be/hwDJYFFu7JM --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chicano/message

RAZA FOR OFFICE

Is Capitalism a hierchy of Exploitation? Is Imperialism hiding itself as a government model called Capitalism?  Is this pyramid of wealth a criminal monopoly or ponzi scheme of investors using the government or legal system as protection.  Do we realize Marx criticized this system and warned the world of its destruction by the hands of a few.  Where will be in the next 5 years. Is the next 12 months critical? Are we complicit in allowing the Government too much power or do we need to March in the Millions like it's 1995 or is the plot to take that privilege away from the people like Big Brother in 1985? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chicano/message

FINDING DEAD BABIES

Ball games have been played in Mesoamerica since the earliest of times. The most popular of these ball games was called tlachtli or pok-to-pok. Archaeologists have discovered thousand year old figurines of ball players wearing knee pads, gloves, and other equipment known to be used in tlachtli ball games. The oldest ball courts are found in the Mexican state of Chiapas and are believed to have been constructed sometime around 700-550 BC. It is believed that prior to this date the courts were simply rectangular open areas. Over time the styles and sizes of the courts changed. Sometime around 0-200 AD ball courts were constructed in the shape of the Roman Numeral I. The rules of the game varied from region to region. In ancient times there was a ball court in almost every city. Courts have been found dating back to the height of the Mayan and Toltec civilizations. The largest ball court was constructed in the ancient Toltec capital of Tula. It is 214 meters long. The game was played with heavy latex balls from rubber trees found in Vera Cruz, Mexico. Tlachli was so popular, that Tenochtitlan imported over 16,000 rubber balls annually. In fact, it was so popular in southern Mexico, that there were over forty ball courts in the Valley of Oaxaca alone. Most of these have never been excavated so no one knows for sure exactly how old they are. All of the ball courts had high parallel walls that bordered two opposite sides. There was a ring of stone hanging from each wall. Points were scored when the ball was passed through the rings. We know from pictorial evidence that there were two teams with seven players on each side, including a captain. Players wore a short skirt, with feathered crests on the back, knee protectors, sandals, and a cap or feathers. Each teams uniform had its own individual markings. The game started when a referee through the ball out in the middle of the court. If the ball touched the ground the game was started over. The players moved the ball by bouncing it off the walls until they could take a shot at the small circular ring. Each player had a flat wooden plate in the shape of a serpent in their right hand and a wooden club in his belt. Numerous historians have researched Tlachli and concluded that it was played without the use of hands. This type of game was especially true of the ancient Aztecs, who played a version of tlachtli called olamaliztli. Olamaliztli was believed to be very similar to our modern soccer. This game was played with only the head, hips, and elbow, and the ball could not be touched by hand. Some have gone as far as calling it Mesoamerican hip ball. I agree with Professor Gualberto Zapata Alonzo when he says that without the use of the hands it would have been virtually impossible to put the ball through such a small ring at that height. However, what he fails to acknowledge is that there were many versions of tlachtli, including some that were very similar to our modern game of rugby. Professor Alonzo's point of view is supported by hard evidence. He points to the ancient carvings on the walls of the ball court in Chichen Itza as proof that hands were used. As he says, if they didn't use their hands then why did they need a club and flat wooden serpents head. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chicano/message

RACIST HIGH SCHOOLS

Proto-Uto-Aztecan is the hypothetical common ancestor of the Uto-Aztecan languages. Authorities on the history of the language group have usually placed the Proto-Uto-Aztecan homeland in the border region between the United States and Mexico, namely the upland regions of Arizona and New Mexico and the adjacent areas of the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua, roughly corresponding to the Sonoran Desert and the western part of the Chihuahuan Desert. It would have been spoken by Mesolithic foragers in Aridoamerica, about 5,000 years ago. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chicano/message

Connecting Nations

Critical race theory (CRT) is an academic movement of civil rights scholars and activists in the United States who seek to critically examine the law as it intersects with issues of race and to challenge mainstream liberal approaches to racial justice.[1] Critical race theory examines social, cultural and legal issues as they relate to race and racism.[2][3] Critical race theory originated in the mid-1970s in the writings of several American legal scholars including Derrick Bell, Alan Freeman, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Richard Delgado, Cheryl Harris, Charles R. Lawrence III, Mari Matsuda, and Patricia J. Williams.[1] It emerged as a movement by the 1980s, reworking theories of critical legal studies (CLS) with more focus on race.[4] Both critical race theory and critical legal studies are rooted in critical theory, which argues that social problems are influenced and created more by societal structures and cultural assumptions than by individual and psychological factors.[5] Critical race theory is loosely unified by two common themes: first, that white supremacy, i.e. societal or structural racism, exists and maintains power through the law;[6] and second, that transforming the relationship between law and racial power, and also achieving racial emancipation and anti-subordination more broadly, is possible.[7] Critics of critical race theory argue that it relies on social constructionism, elevates storytelling over evidence and reason, rejects the concepts of truth and merit, and opposes liberalism.[8][9][10] --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chicano/message

OCCUPIED

Indigenous People & First Nations Identities of the Western Hemisphere are taught to embrace Ideologies or Eurocentric conceptions of Supremacy.  Erasing our culture and identity is psychologically constructed or planted in the minds of the Chicano.   The term Mestizo is a virus embedded in our cultural hegemony early on where we have done nothing more than acknowledge we are products of rape by a brutal Genocide.  We somehow feel we have to measure our Integrity by blood quantum. This is a false sense of Identity. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chicano/message

BANKING ON THE CHICANO

Are we pawns? Are we playing a game we can't win? Are we being sold to the highest bidder? Will our people ever gain equity in the country playing their game?  Will we ever have proper representation in Congress?  Will we ever be in the Senate will we ever have an indigenous President?  Will we ever have proper representation in large Businesses giving us interest in acquiring wealth or Chicano millionaires billionaires or Chicano trillionaires?  If this is the land of the free or this is a free country or democracy why are there no wealthy Chicanos?  Why are there no Chicano landowners why are there no Chicano industries? Why are there no Chicano unions? Why are there no Chicano resources?  These are all questions we need to ask ourselves when pondering the election and what it means to our future or what it means in our ability to become free or sovereign on our own lands and by our own merit our people is our power. Everything else on our lands has been monetized without our permission, gain or prosper. Our people or human capital is our equity. Believe it or not.... this idea of human equity is greater than we could ever imagine if and only if we could, would and should recognise that we are divided, broken and without integrity because we have no unity. This episode highlights the imbalance of our necessity to  unify as a whole people... our necessity to have our People protected... our necessity to unify and have pride in our integrity and protection thereof.   We currently don't have safety and in this episode we touch on a few different viewpoints, narratives, agendas and prerogatives because in this election without being able to have these discussions we will never have the ability to form the sphere or circle of leadership necessary to break out of our current conundrum we live in and pass down to our children. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chicano/message
