White people are people of European descent. They are all from Europe. Europe is their homeland. We did not come from Europe. We are from this  Western Hemisphere, what Europeans call North and South America. People of European descent came here as invaders, the way someone breaks into your house.  They came, took our house, put us out in the back yard and claimed that our house now belonged to them. They are foreigners in our house, on
our land. We are not foreigners. We are not of European descent.

2. Europe is not our heritage.

  Our heritage is the Olmeca, the Maya, the Mexica, and the other people who are the true owners of this land that we now inhabit. We built our own civilizations. We built pyramids, cities, and great engineering feats. We developed an agriculture that gave the world chocolate, chilli, tomatoes, vanilla, corn, and many other foods. We developed the mathematical concept of zero and decimal point. We invented the most accurate calendar in theworld. We had great cities that were the largest cities in the world at one point. There are other great things about our people that you will learn
from this Mexica-Movement site and from the books that we will recommend.

3. We owe nothing to Europeans or to their descendants
(Gabachos y Gachupines) who live amongst us. It is they who owe us for the horrible things that they have done to us. Read the pages of this Mexica-Movement site to see what those monstrous things are.

4. We are not Hispanic or Latino.

  Don't call yourself Hispanic or Latino. Don't allow anyone to call you Hispanic or Latino. You are an Original Inhabitant of this land. Europeansand their descendants have wrongly called us Indians. Indians are the people from India. We are Original Inhabitants, the true owners of this land. Most of us have some white blood but that does not make us white people. African Americans have some white blood but that does not make them white either. We are an Indigenous Mexica people native to this land and to no other! We are Indigenous Mexica!

5. A Hispanic is a person from Spain.

  Hispanic refers to the things of Spain. We are not "things" belonging to Spain. Spaniards are Europeans. Europeans are white people. We are not white people, Europeans or Spaniards.

6. A Latino is a white person from Latin America.

  Latinos are the descendants of Europeans (Portuguese, Spaniards, and French) in Latin America. They are generally racist against our people. Our people are Full Blood or Mixed Blood Indigenous Mexica people. We are not Latinos, not white, not descendants of Europeans. We are descendants of Mexica Original Inhabitant people.

7. English is not our language.

  It may be the only language some of us speak, but it is not our language. African Americans speak English and have British last names, but that does not make them English or British.

8. Spanish is not our language.

  We may have Spanish last names and speak Spanish, and Mexico is the largest Spanish speaking country in the world, but that doesn't mean that Spanish is our language. Spanish is the language that the Spaniards forced on us to replace our own languages.

9. Nahuatl is our language.

  Nahuatl is our national Mexican language. It has been discouraged from use, destroyed in most areas, and finally removed as part of the daily language of most Mexicans. Some of the language has survived in the small towns and in the mountainous areas of Mexico. Some of it has also managed to be part of Mexican Spanish. Nahuatl is our language. We have many other languages like Maya, Otomi, Tarahumara and dozens of other languages, but Nahuatl is
the language that unites us all.

10. We are Mexica.

  We are called Mexican in the English language. We are called Mexicano(Meh-hee-kah-noh) in the Spanish language. We called ourselves Mexica(pronounced Meh-shee-kah in our Nahuatl language).

11. White people (Hispanics) invaded our Mexica land in 1519.

  They came to steal from us. They took our land. They stole the wealth from our land. They destroyed our beautiful cities and towns. They killed 23 million of our people (95% of our population was killed!). They have enslaved us to their world ever since. So long as we have no control over our land, our wealth, and the power that they use to control us (media & education), we will forever be slaves to their interests.

12. Cortez (a Hispanic) was the monstrous leader of the Spaniards.

  He planned the destruction of our civilization, the genocide of our people, and the slavery of our people to interests and well-being of the people of Europe and their descendants amongst us.

l3. The Spaniards came to steal from us.

  They had already killed 10 million people in the Caribbean. They had stolen their land and wealth. They came and enslaved our people so that we would work the mines to give the gold and silver that they were too lazy to work or trade for. These are a historically very dishonest, unethical, opportunistic,and very parasitic people. If your think this last statement is an exaggeration read their own journals and history books (from our point of view) and you will see what monsters they have been.

14. They stole our land.

  They claimed the right to our land. That thief's claim is what keeps our land from us today. When we can learn to assert our rights to our land, and when we have the courage to call the thief a "thief" and the racist murderers "racist murderers" (through education), only then will we be able to see the reality of our situation and the realistic solutions to all of our problems.

l5. They took our gold and silver.

  After they had worked us as slaves in our own mines, they took our gold and silver and sent it to Europe to enrich Europeans and their descendants. Our gold and silver (and our slave labor that resulted in the genocide of our people) financed the accelerated development of 16th & 17th century Europe. Of course Europeans and their descendants on our land feel that they owe us nothing for this theft, slavery, and genocide. What a consistent line of unethical behaviour!

16. They killed 23 million of our people.

  Most of our people don't know this simple fact. We know of 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis. We know all of the good things that Europeans and their descendants did for us, supposedly. What we don't know and what they don't know, is all the monstrous things that they did to us and to people all over this planet. These are simple facts found in Encyclopaedia Britannica, with a bibliography of enough European crimes to fill any library.

17. They burned our cities.

  This was so that we would have not even our own cities to be proud of. But the ruins are all over Mexico. Even sites of civilizations that had long been abandoned before the arrival of the Mexica into the valley of Mexico are to be seen from the Four Corners area into Central America.

18. They destroyed our libraries.

  This was done so that we would have no history, no pride of accomplishment. But some of our libraries survived into the 20th century. Check our bibliography section to see some of the books that were written from those sources.

19. They took our language from us.

  This was done so that we would not be able to speak our own languages. But there is still a chance to take back our Nahuatl language through the Mexica-Movement which is working to make Nahuatl an integral part of our movement.

20. They gave us their names the way African slaves were given European names.

  This was a form of branding us as their property. We cannot take back our family names because we didn't have family names in the European tradition. We had calendar names and warrior names. We can take Nahuatl names when we work as warriors who are working to recapture our people's minds from the Eurocentric chains that hold our people captive to Eurocentric thoughts.

21. They killed our unarmed teachers, leaders, generals, priests, and best warriors on the feast of Huitzilopochtli.

  This demolished the false notion that Europeans were more civilized or that they were superior to us in any way. We need to rebuild that leadership that was lost. We need all of our people learning, teaching, leading and being examples to our youth.
 
 

A VENDIDO INTERVIEWS OLIN TEZCATLIPOCA:

1. Why are we not Hispanic or Latino?

  Hispanics are the culture, land, things, and people of Spain. Mexicans have been fighting Hispanics for almost 500 years. To call ourselves Hispanics is to make a mockery of ourselves and to make the final surrender to the Spaniards. We are descendants of Mexicas, not Spaniards.

  Latinos have traditionally been the white people of "Latin America". Those who have oppressed the mixed blood and the full blood Indigenous people of the Western Hemisphere. Latino is not anything to be proud of. Yes, some of our people identify with the white people in order to exploit our own people. There are always traitors in every group of people. Today the people of European descent are the ones who control Spanish and English language media. That control over media and education has brainwashed our people to believe that we are Hispanic\Latino, that Europe is our heritage.

2. Aren't we all part white anyway?

  African Americans are mostly part white. You don't see African American people calling themselves white or European. You don't see them bragging of the little white blood that they have. They identify as African Americans, not as African-European Americans. Jews of European descent are mostly white, but they call themselves Jews or Jewish and never Jewish American or Euro-Jews or anything silly like that. We people of Mexican descent do tend to cling to those few drops of white blood that is mostly the result of rape. It's sad. We have been mentally abused and culturally castrated to believe such self-hating nonsense. To clarify maybe even more let's look at Filipinos. They have Spanish surnames and some have some  Spanish blood, but they don't call themselves Hispanic. They speak English but that doesn't make them English or British.
   Find a mirror. If you see a white person in the mirror, then you are white. If you don't see a white person, then you know you are Indigenous.
   Sad that we have to put it to this test. Some of our darkest people are still going to see a white person in the mirror.

3. Isn't Spain our mother country.

  If you are a real Hispanic\Latino white person, yes. If you are a mixedblood (Mestizo) or full blood Indigenous person, of course not. Spain is no more our motherland than England is our fatherland.
 
 

4. But aren't we part of La Raza Cosmica, a great blend of Europeans and Indians? Isn't that what makes us special?

  That is a European-imposed concept dropped on us to get us to celebrate the rape of our people, to pretend that we took part in the theft of our own land and wealth, and to get us to happily ignore the cultural castration of our people.

  But we are special as a people in that we are part of 4,000 years of Anahuac civilizations. 4,000 years of being one culture. 4,000 years of accomplishments and only 500 years of being slaves to people from another world. That is where we are special. Special in that we can regain out greatness as a people.

5. But our language, our names, our blood, our religion, our heritage is Spain!

  Don't get so emotional about this. I know that you as a vendido want to think of yourself as a European, a Spaniard and that you hate the thought that you could in even the remotest way be "Indian". But this is information for the majority of our people who are not vendido. They have to remember, again, that African Americans speak English, have British names, have some white blood, have the religion of Europe, but does that make them British or European ?! You get it, we are not white, not European!

6. Isn't the CMMEC divisive?

  Yes. We want to divide our selves from the white-Hispanic and white-Latino who wants to continue exploiting our people. We want to separate ourselves from the Cuban, the Argentine, the Spaniard, and all European descent people who have come to our land to steal it, to steal our wealth, to enslave our people to their European interests, and to culturally castrate our people by taking away our proud Indigenous Mexica identity.  But, we do want to unite with the so-called Native Americans of the so- called Southwest and the so-called Central American people. That is the unity that we want. We share with them our heritage, our land, languages, history, origins, race, history of European Invasion and genocide, and so much more, because we are one people divided by European borders on our one land.

7. But I'm not an Indian. I almost look white. How can I claim to be
Indian?

  Then you must be a white person. I was mistaken. I thought you were one of my people, a vendido, but one of my people. But you're not. It's clear that you desperately want to think of yourself as white. Go down to Mississippi or the Simi Valley and see if they consider you white. Personally I wish you were white, so that people like you would not confuse our people. But I look at you and a white person is not what I see. I see a person who is definitely not white.

8. OK, I'm part Indian. But I'm not an Indian.

  Then go to Europe and see if they will accept you as one of their children. In your case they will definitely look at you as a brown Michael Jackson---a wanna be white who is obviously not white.

9. Okay, okay. Now, all of the responses you have given me would lead me to conclude that you are a Nationalist. Are you now or have you ever been a Nationalist, maybe even a communist?

  Like Emiliano, Cuauhtemoc, Cortina, Murietta, and all of the
Nationalists of the last five centuries, I am proud to say yes, I am a
nationalist. All of those of us who are Mexica Warriors are Nationalists. We are not communists because we don't need European concepts to take our people back to who we are. We are an Indigenous Mexica People. Nationalists for our people. We don't need to be communists.

l0. But this is the greatest country in the world. Great opportunities! A multicultural society! Why would you cling to such a backward way of thinking. Every country in the world is going multinational. The whole world is giving up nationalism, why haven't you?

  Because I'm proud of who my people are. I am proud of being part of our Anahuac heritage. When you finally know about all of the civilization of which we are a part, there is no need to look to Europe for your pride. It is right here, in our land, and in our Indigenous Mexica history and identity.
  The whole world is going European---Yes! But I do not want to be part of that Eurocentric Western World. I want to be part of my Mexica world. My heritage is the Olmeca, the Zapotec, the Maya, Teotihuacan, the Toltec, the Mexica, and the other civilizations and cultures of "Mesoamerica "--- not Europe.

  More importantly, you have to remember that I am a Mexica Warrior! I am not you. I do not want to be slave in a whiteman's world. Notice that the Jew hangs on to his or her identity, and participates in the "modern" world without losing their sense of who they are---who they really are!
  We can be modern-day Mexica without losing our independent identity and without being "backwards". We'll update, computers and things, without being a subheading of European or of any other group on this planet.

  Our Mexica world is waiting for us to reclaim it. Our Mexica-Movement is working to educate our people towards taking back our past and our future. The future is being made right now. We are making sure that our world, the world of the people of Mexican descent, is Mexica and that it is definitely not Hispanic, Latino, Mestizo, or Raza. We want a Mexica future for our people.

 That is what our struggle is about.

  Vendidos and vendidas are our biggest obstacle. They promote self-hate and they promote the slavery of our people to a European world and to a European future. They must be confronted. We must stop them from poisoning the minds of our people. We must stop them from creating new vendidos and vendidas.
