I will want to meet these two guys someday, I can telll That One is a artist/ Painter and the other one a boxer... both socially outcasts of the main stream american society, but they will perserved in their believes for equality and acceptance.

Why should I care? Chicanos are seen as maggots in time. The only hopes of a people that will correct the ills of this forsaken place are ill images of contemporary area trends. We are not gangsters, or drug pursers; we do not have ties with cartels or illegal forces. We are a simple voice that many in our area either are not aware of or simply live in darkness due to the madness of local petty social politics. So many sell out because they want to become part of the dynamic social presence and forgo what is important. The valley and Brownsville in particular have never had a chance to move forward due to the horrific influx of culture stealing identity. Why do so many cancel whom they are and adorn those who simply just use them. Chicano art might not be the mainstream fade or the idealistic local trend but it is the only salvation that the area has from the totally messed-up corruption of what the area can offer. 99.9 percent reflects the population. So why does .001 control? Just to get a minute of glory?...when mortality is on the horizon, and you know who you are basura. Chicano Art, viva la cuaza shivo!
